Many Christians go there out of ignorance thinking that by being there or in the "Holy Land" their prayers are more likely to be heard by God or their lives will somehow be enriched. There is no Scriptural evidence for this.

The wall don't mean much to me because I look not to the past kingdom but the one the Lord will bring with His return.

It is well known that the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) in Jerusalem is considered to be a sacred site in Judaism.
In recent years, great number of tourists come at the Wailing Wall as it is also an attractive tourist destination.
Many political leaders visit the Wailing Wall, expressing support for Israel (the Wall is disputed by Israel and the Palestinians). All this does not cause issues.
I'm interested in something else: Many Christians come here to pray. Even Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II visited the Western Wall and left notes with prayers (see e.g. prayer2kotel.net)
There is a lot of information, why this site is a sacred one in Judaism (Temple of Herod) and Islam (Dome of the Rock), but I didn't find any information in the Christian sources.
Could you help me? web page
