Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Book of Psalms

Psalm 148

Psalm 148

1 Praise the Lord.[a]

Praise the Lord from the heavens;
    praise him in the heights above.
2 Praise him, all his angels;
    praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon;
    praise him, all you shining stars.
4 Praise him, you highest heavens
    and you waters above the skies.

5 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
    for at his command they were created,
6 and he established them for ever and ever—
    he issued a decree that will never pass away.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
    you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
    stormy winds that do his bidding,
9 you mountains and all hills,
    fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle,
    small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings of the earth and all nations,
    you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and women,
    old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
    for his name alone is exalted;
    his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
14 And he has raised up for his people a horn,[b]
    the praise of all his faithful servants,
    of Israel, the people close to his heart.

Praise the Lord.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father in Heaven,
Magnified and Sanctified is Your Most Holy Name!

1. Praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
2. Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!
3. Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!
4. Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,
And you waters above the heavens!

From The Rising of the Sun,
To its Setting,
You Name Shall be Praised.
For You Alone Are Worthy;
You Alone Are LORD;
You Alone Are Holy,
You Alone Are The One True God of The Universe!

5. Let them praise the name of the LORD,
For He commanded and they were created.
6. He also established them forever and ever;
He made a decree which shall not pass away.

We Come into Your Presence With Singing
And Into Your Courts With Praise,
For Your Are Eternal,
Omnipotent,
Omniscient,
Omnipresent,
Just And Righteous,
Our Creator,
and The Creator of All That Is!

7. Praise the LORD from the earth,
You great sea creatures and all the depths;
8. Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
9. Mountains and all hills;
Fruitful trees and all cedars;
10. Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying fowl;
11. Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
12. Both young men and maidens;
Old men and children.

It Is You That Command Nature and All It Contains,
The Earth is Yours,
and All of It's Creatures.
You can Make them Swarm or Die off;
It Is Your Will.
Even The dust of the earth is at Your Command!

13. Let them praise the name of the LORD,
For His name alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
14. And He has exalted the horn of His people,
The praise of all His saints—
Of the children of Israel,
A people near to Him.

Praise the LORD!

Almighty Father, We Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem,
according to Your Will and Your Word.
We Pray for and End to the evils of hatred,
Slavery, Piracy,
Antisemitism,
Idolatry, and Slander,
wherever it is today.
We Pray for Jews and Christians
languishing in Bondage in Hostile Lands.
We Pray for Messiah To Come Quickly
and Set All Things Right.
And if there is but a Remnant of People
who are in Your Will when that happens,
Dear LORD, let me be among them,
I pray with all my heart.
We pray For the peace of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will,
Your Word,
And Your Promise.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Mandated to wash, sort, and separate her "recyclables", Joe and Mary Citizen dutifully complied. All the glass (thoroughly rinsed and sorted according to color and type), plastics (sorted according to the code numbers on the bottom), and cans (washed and collected separately) were put in their appropriate bins on the sidewalk for a separate collection. Newspapers and corrugated cardboard were in a separate pile.The water and energy used to clean and sort the recyclables was considerable, but not taken into consideration, because Joe and Mary knew that they were doing it for "Mother Earth". A separate diesel-chugging truck poured all her nicely cleaned, sorted, and separated trash into a single stream and made it's way to the Recycling Center, Manned by the mob-connected union workers, who told the truck driver that they were full, so just take the load down the street to the town landfill, and mix it in with the rest of the trash.

And Joe and Mary said it was GOOD, and that THEY were Good People, because they were Doing the Right Thing.

Though this is an extreme case, Things like this have happened. It is the foolish end result of letting Nature-Worship take precedence over Common Sense.

God's handiwork is so amazing that it is easy to get distracted by it. Nearly all cultures have some form of "Nature Worship", which is, in fact Idolatry. Paul explains this quite forcibly in the First Chapter of his Letter to the Romans, and calls it "worshiping the Creation rather than the Creator." This huge mistake is not only the Bailiwick of primitive or ancient peoples. Our own "Enlightened" Twenty-First Century Culture has adopted a form of Nature-Worship called "Being Green" and it is everywhere. Littering is disgusting, Pollution is Awful, and Waste is a bad habit. But let's not fall into the trap of worshiping the creation. This Magnificent Psalm tells us that NATURE worships GOD, not the other way around.

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

God Bless America!

[Ezekiel]

Your tale of the Gaia-worshipers is excellent.

Note that “Gaia” demands trash for sacrifices, whereas the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob insists on the best of the best of the animals, the exact opposite of trash.

Gaia *wants* trash sacrifices, with some feeble show of appearances by expecting it ‘cleaned’. Pretty low standards there.

Who would want to work for Gaia? The smell for one thing. Horrid. Compare that to loading up steak on the BBQ. *Inhale*

Again with the concept that it is no work if it is love.
