Prayers towards the temple of God in Jerusalem
Reason was that Daniel knew the secret of success in praying in the Temple of God.
Because he lacks the opportunity and since he was not in Jerusalem rather in Babylon:
He turned to face the direction of Temple in Jerusalem and offers his sacrifice of prayers.
Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
Daniel 6:11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
Then God heard from heaven.
Hear as you read the Prayers King Solomon offered:-
1 Kings 8:29 That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.
1 Kings 8:30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
1 Kings 8:34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
1 Kings 8:38 What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
1 Kings 8:39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
1 Kings 8:42 (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
1 Kings 8:43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
1 Kings 8:45 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
1 Kings 8:48 And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
1 Kings 8:54 And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
1 Kings 8:55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
1 Kings 8:56 Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
1 Kings 8:57 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
1 Kings 8:60 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
The Church Altar is same in Jesus Christ Name and same direction is applied today by Revelation
David looked into the mountains where his helps comes from: that's the Lord God is his helper.
Jesus Christ is our help, Saviour and Redeemer, we looked towards Jesus on the Cross, by Faith, we see Him
The significance of King Solomon's Prayers is pointing is to look unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our Faith
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
I will come your way in another time.
God bless your heart and gives you understanding in Jesus name Amen.
