It's only scriptural if the words of prophets like Jeremiah 3:16-17 are ignored: "And at that time Jerusalem shall be called the throne of the Lord, and all nations shall be gathered unto it ..."
It's scriptural! And true! Jeremiah's words referred to a previous time period, and it came true.
I guess Jesus and the Apostles standing on the Mount of Olives in Acts 1 must have missed that history lesson, right???
