Made of pure, solid brass, it is a conversation piece as well as an inspiration, and is the result of meticulous workmanship. It is already pre-calibrated for the continental United States to be ready to use immediately, and has a dozen of the most frequently used international city zone settings available on the inside of the brass cover to make it accurate anywhere. "I started thinking to myself, wouldn t it be wonderful if the compass could point in a direction that had more meaning to all of us?
" Abraham said. "A direction that was more important. Where would that be?
"So here we are in the holiest city in the world, the center of the universe, and all roads lead to Jerusalem. Let the compass point here," he said. "The Bible says many things about Jerusalem, especially in Psalm 122:6 where it says Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.
This is a prayer that comes with a blessing and the Jerusalem Compass will not only remind people to pray, but give them the accurate direction to face while they are praying," he said. It is the size of a pocket watch and is decorated with some of the same designs found on carvings from the First Temple Period in Jerusalem. And its calibration system keeps the compass needle pointing toward Jerusalem at all times.
