Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Acts of the Apostles




(New Testament)

Acts 16

Paul’s Vision of the Man of Macedonia

6 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. 7 When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. 8 So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. 9 During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

(End of Scripture Passage)



Although there is a Balkan Country now called "Macedonia", to the Ancient People (and to Greek People in our own time) "Macedonia" means the Country of Greece.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

With her sixth child on the way, Mom realized that our two-bedroom house was too small, so in the 60's, my family moved to another neighborhood in Boston which had older, more spacious homes. It was a bit of a culture shock to me, as all our neighbors were Greek. The spoke Greek, went to a Greek Church, played Greek Music, had HUGE Greek Weddings, and played SOCCER instead of Football! (Years later, there was a movie based upon this theme, and it was very funny at the time because it was true). There was a heroic statue of Alexander the Great in the public park (which I thought was very weird!) and people had a strange bumper-sticker on their cars that said "MACEDONIA IS GREECE". At first, I felt like a stranger, but then soon got into the rhythm of life in the community, and was eating Feta Cheese and Hummus long before these foods became popular in the rest of the country. (I might add, that these immigrants learned English, worked hard, became citizens, and were VERY hardworking and patriotic people).

Years later, when I wanted to study the New Testament in depth, I figured it would be a cinch to learn Greek, since I had been immersed in the culture so long ago. Then I realized that the Greek words that I had picked up on the street were NOT in the New Testament!

Due to the influence of the aforementioned Alexander, Greek culture was ubiquitous in the First Century. Greek was the universal language that allowed Romans, Egyptians, Jews, and Syrians to communicate with each other. The Old Testament was translated into Greek in what is now called "The Septuagint" because of the 70 Scholars who worked on the translation.

The unfortunate aspect of this was that Jewish Culture and Religion was being merged into Greek Culture, so there were people called "Hellenized Jews". This caused friction in the community. We can see it all through the Book of Acts, with Gentiles being referred to as "Greeks" no matter what their ethnicity.

Here, Paul dreams of an unmistakably Greek man asking Paul to come to actual Greece to bring the Gospel. And so, it's time for another Missionary Journey.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads. They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones. They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!” For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant—the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah
Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground. Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.”
O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind. As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane! Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord. Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace, that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 83

When you mention Macedonia, I think of those evil Macedonian hackers who Hillary accused of stealing the election.
