Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem





Character Studies From The Bible







Peter

(Peter's Encyclical Letters)



(1 Peter 4)



12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And,

“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
    what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[a]

19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






Most of you have noticed the strange Arabic symbol that has been appearing on this page for the last several months. Today's reading in our study of Peter's Personality gives us an opportunity to talk about it. The letter is the Arabic form for our letter "N". It is the same sound and is called a "nun" (pronounced "noon"). It is the first letter in "Nazarene" which is the Islamic word for Christians of any denomination. Most of the Christians in that area claimed as the "Islamic World" are Eastern Orthodox, Easter-Rite Catholic, Coptic, and a few communities of Protestants. These are the people who are now being slaughtered because they will not renounce their Faith. It would be very easy for them to pretend to become a Muslim, merely by reciting the Muslim statement of Faith, and hoping that their attacker thinks they are sincere about it! (Of course, it is easy to sound sincere when there is a knife at your throat!), but our Brothers and Sisters in the East are refusing to even pretend. Thus, their homes and churches are being burned (sometimes with them in it), the women and girls are being sold into sexual slavery, and the men are being beheaded or crucified. The Coptic Church has already added 21 "Official Saints" to their roster, the 21 men who were beheaded on the beach in Libya.

The oppressors swab the "nun" symbol on a door or wall of a house to indicate that there are Christians living there. This is why the symbol has been turned around into a sign of solidarity with those who are being persecuted, much like the yellow star was adopted by (too few!) Righteous Gentiles to show solidarity with Jews in WW2 Europe.

Peter says that, if one is punished for a sin, that is not the same as being persecuted. Those who are persecuted merely for standing in Faith are truly Blessed with their names written into Eternity.

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


Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.



This Symbol Represents Christians in The Middle East, who desperately need our Prayers.

Hallelujah and Amen

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR
THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
And for the Preservation of the Valiant
Israeli Nation!



Holy Thorn Tree
Glastonbury, United Kingdom


_ ORASMUCH then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

______________________________________________1 Peter 4:1-19 (KJV)

They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors, we are all "Nazarenes."
