Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem~Origins

Oh LORD Our God
How Excellent is Your Name Over All The Earth!
You Alone Are Worthy To Be Praised,
For You Alone Are The One True God Of Abraham!
Holy, Holy , Holy, Are You,
LORD God of Power And Might,
Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent,
And Yet, You Are "The God Who Sees" even the smallest personal thing in our lives.

1. Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

2. And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

3. And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

4. And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

5. And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

6. But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

Abba Father, We Thank You For Your WORD and Your Promise!
Yet how often do we ourselves forget Your promise,
or just plain DO NOT BELIEVE,
and try to find our own solutions,
or sidetrack Your Word,
or even, as in Abram's case,
Listen to bad advice INSTEAD of Listening to YOU!
We are still suffering the consequences of this to this day,
as most Arab People call themselves the Children of Hagar
and descendants of her son Ishmael.

11. And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

12. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

13And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

We Pray for the Lost Children of Hagar and Ishmael.
We pray that they will Seek the One True God of Their Father Abraham,
And cast aside their hatred for their Brothers, The Jewish People,
For You, Abba, are the "God Who Sees"
and have said in Your WORD
that You do not desire that any should perish.

We Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem,
According to your Will and Promise.
Let the people say:
It is The LORD who has given us this land,
and not we ourselves.

Father, We Thank You For The Remnant who Continue to Support Israel,
Especially in light of the Current Crisis.
We ask you to protect and defend them.
Since You Are The God of Truth,
Please LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

Number us NOT with those who whisper lies to Your People.
Those who say "Peace and Safety" out loud,
but who inwardly plot against You and Your Beloved!
We ask You to Intervene in the Affairs of Nations,
And Change the Direction of Our Own.
We Plead With You, That Our Leaders will be Led by Your Spirit
with regards to Our Own Country's Policies Towards Jerusalem,
Or That You Will Remove Them.
We Also Pray that you will remove the spirit of idolatry
That has invaded the politics of our Nation.
We beg For You To Replace The leaders Who Seize Power
Only to feed Their own EGOS, and NOT to Serve the People or the Constitution.

We pray for an END to Lies, Slander, Blood Libel,
Propaganda, and Antisemitism against Your Beloved.
We Pray For An End to Slavery, Hostage-Taking,
and Piracy wherever it is Practiced Around the World.
We Beseech You on Behalf of Our Captive Brethren,
Christians and Jews, In Bondage in Hostile lands,

We Pray For Bibi Netayahu, and the Leaders of Israel
May They Receive Wisdom from You to do the Right Thing.

We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.

Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem~Origins

Hagar, Ishmael, and the Angel

Today we see the Biblical origins of the emnity between the Jews and the Arabs.
We also read this:

12. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

The Hebrew "dwell in the presence" literally means "In the FACE of his Brethren",
as in the expression "IN YOUR FACE".

Oh yeah. There are people that say that the Bible is just an old book that was just meant for THAT Culture and THAT time, long ago and far away.

Right.

Amen

(Book of Zechariah)
Chapter 1
13
And HaShem answered the angel that spoke with me with good words, even comforting words—
14
so the angel that spoke with me said unto me: ‘Proclaim thou, saying: Thus saith HaShem of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy;
15
and I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped for evil.
16
Therefore thus saith HaShem: I return to Jerusalem with compassions: My house shall be built in it, saith HaShem of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
17
Again, proclaim, saying: Thus saith HaShem of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with prosperity; and HaShem shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.’

1
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
2
And I said unto the angel that spoke with me: ‘What are these?’ And he said unto me: ‘These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.’
3
And HaShem showed me four craftsmen.
4
Then said I: ‘What come these to do?’ And he spoke, saying: ‘These—the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head—these then are come to frighten them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.’

(Book of Zechariah)
Chapter 2

5
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
6
Then said I: ‘Whither goest thou?’ And he said unto me: ‘To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.’
7
And, behold, the angel that spoke with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
8
and said unto him: ‘Run, speak to this young man, saying: ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein.
9
For I, saith HaShem, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

10
Ho, ho, flee then from the land of the north, saith HaShem; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith HaShem.
11
Ho, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.’
12
For thus saith HaShem of hosts who sent me after glory unto the nations which spoiled you: ‘Surely, he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
13
For, behold, I will shake My hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them’; and ye shall know that HaShem of hosts hath sent me.

14
‘Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith HaShem.
15
And many nations shall join themselves to HaShem in that day, and shall be My people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee’; and thou shalt know that HaShem of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
16
And HaShem shall inherit Judah as His portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
17
Be silent, all flesh, before HaShem; for He is aroused out of His holy habitation.

*************************************
He shall choose Jerusalem AGAIN. Soon L-rd. Please.
Amen

Psalm 102

1Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

2Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

4My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.

10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

11My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

12But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

15So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

16When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

20To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

21To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

23He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

25Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

26They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

27But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

28The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

Prayers also for the IDF soldiers who were injured on the ship. Also for Gilead Shalit who has been missing almost four years now.

Psalm 110:6 He will judge among the nations,
He will fill them with corpses,
He will shatter the chief men over a broad country.

Dear God our Lord, Please bring blessings and protection to the land of Israel. Reach out to Jerusalem and cover them with you love and mercy. In Jesus’ name Amen

Amen.

3. And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

4. And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

5. And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

“6. But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.”

...

12. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

_______________________________________________________

How quickly pride and resentment/jealousy entered the scene. When Hagar conceived. Man/woman does not have the ability to see the future results of their actions. Too Late. Too late.

Ishmael was to be a wild man ... in response perhaps to losing his birthright; and being sent away from his father Abram; he carried a hatred that is a burning flame until today.

Sounds like satan to me.

The reality is that American Jews favor the Palestinians. I read yesterday that 80% of the Jews cast votes for Obama and provided 50% of the money given to the Democratic party. WOW! That is a lot of money cause we know many corporations also supported Obama.

These past actions in the Bible has everything to do with our current circumstances.

LORD God Almighty,look down on Your people, see our fear, our pain at the current state of America and the world. We have not know what we were doing to create this system, that is deplorable to Your eyes. You are the potter, we are the clay. Repair the cracks happening in America. You Blessed America and flourished her because we were a godly people attempting to live according to Your Word. WOE is me, we have drifted far from Your commandments. How do we teach our people that are already taught the lies of satan?

We can do nothing without You, refresh this land, bring a new revival to America, Many of us are repentant, Show mercy, help us in our day to be pleasing to You. No thing is too hard for You. Forgive us our sins, Restore America to be the land that loves You and blesses You and is under Your Grace, Bless Israel, the persecuted believers, and the church, Jerusalem, the Muslims, the lost and all Who are searching and seeking Your will. In Jesus name, amen.
