6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you! 7 Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!” ~ Psalms 122:6-7
I believe that with all that is going on in the world today, it is good to know so that you will remember what the Psalmist instructed us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Why? Our destinies are tied to Jerusalem. We, the Church, have not replaced Israel as some erroneously believe.
If you read Matthew chapter 24 along with other Scripture, you will see that Israel, more specifically, Jerusalem, is tied to last-day events that involve us Christians, such as Matthew 24:15-16, Matthew 24:32-34, Deuteronomy 30:3, Isaiah 43:6, and Ezekiel 36:24.
Therefore, I would encourage you to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, if for no other reason than for your sake and for the sake of the Church. For our peace on this earth is directly tied to the peace of Jerusalem.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Pray For Peace.
