In viewing the history of the Jewish people, we can distinguish various epochs. These include the time of the Forefathers, the Judges, the Prophets, the Sages of the Mishna, the Gaonim of the Babylonian Yeshivot, and more. The end of an old epoch and beginning of a new one is invariably linked to a concept which states that earlier generations of our Sages tend to be on a higher spiritual level than the later ones (Talmud, Shabbat 112b). Once every three or four centuries, it becomes apparent to the greatest Torah-scholars that they, collectively, can no longer compare to the previous recent generations, and a new era has begun. The end of prophecy marked one such palpable transition. In addition, from Second-Temple times and onward, none of the Sages claimedprophecy, since they were honest people and they knew that what the Prophets had experienced was no longer happening.
Within a couple of decades after the last visitations of prophecy, the Sages convened a synod known as the Men of the Great Assembly, and they closed the canon of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). This was around 340 BCE.

How is Jerusalem Mecca and Medina Important to the Islamic people?
Mecca is important to Islam because it is where the Kabbah is located. The Kabbah is the construct which Muslims pray towards and have to visit when performing their Hajj Migration. It's also where the Prophet Muhammed is from. Medina is important because it is the first city which pledged their allegiance to Muhammed, and gave Muhammed refuge when he had to escape from Mecca due to persecution- and therefore it was the first Islamic State (the Islamic calendar starts when Muhammed journeyed to Mecca). Jerusalem is important because other Islamic prophets like Abraham, Jesus, Moses are connected with Jerusalem (yes they are the same biblical ones - Islam considers itself an extension of judaiochristiandom). Moreover, its important because that is where the Prophet visited during his ascension to Heaven (he visited heaven according to Islamic theology and stopped at Jerusalem). Finally, Jerusalem was the direction of prayer for the Muslims initially when the Kabbah was full of idols.
