Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

I Found The Name "Mikveh Yisroel" (Hope of Israel) quite by accident (a random opening of my pocket Bible as I waited for my sushi last night) and I was struck by the similarity of the situation in Jeremiah 14 with our own backsliden nation. I was unable to research the Hebrew until I got home, but here is what I found.

The word "Mikveh" means "Hope" in MOST of its applications in the Hebrew Scriptures. But here are a few other meanings.

Hope
Confidence
Confidant
The ONE in WHOM we place our confidence
In other Passages, especially in the First Chapter of Genesis, it means a Gathering, or "Pulling Together" (He Gathered the Waters together in a heap), A fountain of PLENTY(Probably the root of the word "Mikvah", a ritual Bath), A Generous Amount, Etc.

So although the context of Jeremiah 14 is scary and judgmental, the ENTIRETY of Scripture lifts this Passage OUT of despair and into the Shining Realm of HOPE.

We pray for the Repentance, Restoration, and Renewal of Our Beloved Nation.

Hope of Israel,  its Savior in time of distress, why are You like a foreigner in the land, like a traveler stopping only for the night ?

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