Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
I have eight bookmarks in my Bible for my Daily personal Bible Study, which I read before publishing this Thread every day. Today's Bookmarks were as follows:
Bear in mind these bookmarks have been rotating through my Bible for FIFTEEN YEARS, and were NOT Planned!)
1. The Torah: Genesis 40. Joseph has been falsely accused of sexual impropriety and lands in jail. While he is there, he interprets the dreams of two corrupt officials, one of whom is reinstated, and the other of whom is executed.
2. History: 1 Samuel 29. David is falsely accused by Saul, and has sought refuge with Saul's enemies, but they don't trust him either, even though he has been a faithful servant to both.
3. Poetry: Psalm 2 (OK, I DID plan that one!)
4. Prophets: Jeremiah 10. The prophet pleads with the People of Israel to NOT learn the ways of "the Nations", or to be "terrified by the signs in the Heavens"
5. The Gospels: Matthew 24. Jesus tells His Disciples about the End of Days, and tells them not to be afraid of "Wars and Rumors of War, and "signs in the heavens".
6. The Book of Acts: Chapter 19. Demetrius the Silversmith incites a riot against Paul because the preaching of the Good News is interfering with his income!
7. Letters: Hebrews 5 interprets and quotes the VERY PSALM 2 THAT WE ARE STUDYING TODAY!
8. Revelation: Chapter 8, which concludes the Seven Seals and announces the Trumpets, which, in the KJV is call a TRUMP.
(I am NOT making this up!)
The United Nations have conspired together (in rage, by the way, which is the word that the KJV uses for "conspire", to rob Israel of her inheritance. The Land that has been given to them by God is STILL the subject of rage and conspiracy. The "coincidences" are just too numerous to count, and yet people STILL don't see. OR, they DO see, but because they have become so complacent and corrupt that the TRUTH will destroy their income, like Demetrius. So how do they deal with it? With false accusations, sexual innuendo, inciting to riot, conspiracy on an international scale, and the attempt to destroy the Evidence of God's Love and Provision, which is, of course, Jerusalem.
Not to mention the crazy 16th Century English PUN on our candidate's surname!
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
