Answer 1

Supposedly the three-year cycle of reading the five books of Moses divided them into 154 sections (all told). I have no good source for this, though.

Answer 2

Megilas Eicha has 154 Pesukim.

Answer 3

Jerusalem appears in the Jewish Bible 669 times and Zion 154 times, or 823 times in all. The Christian Bible mentions Jerusalem 154 times and Zion 7 times. In contrast, the columnist Moshe Kohn notes, Jerusalem and Zion appear as frequently in the Qur'an "as they do in the Hindu Bhagavad-Gita, the Taoist Tao-Te Ching, the Buddhist Dhamapada and the Zoroastrian Zend Avesta"—which is to say, not once.
