Because,

Before mecca to be the direction of worship, it was Jerusalem's Masjide Aqsa towards which Muslims use to worship.

Now throughout the world, every Muslim worship in the direction of Mecca. And second coming of Jesus is going to be in front of Masjide Aqsa (also known as baitul muqaddas) in Jerusalem.
