Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Isaiah

Those of us familiar with the Gospel Accounts will instantly recognize that this Passage was read by Jesus of Nazareth at His home town synagogue after He had been ministering for a while. It was a reunion of sorts, as the town folk were interested in what became of the Village Carpenter who had become a Rabbi.

In modern-day synagogues, members of the community are called up to the bema (high place) to read the designated readings for that day. They are usually called up in order, first, a Cohen (someone who can trace back his family to the tribe of Aaron), then a Levite (someone who can trace back to Levi) and then an Israelite (someone who can trace back to Jacob, or "Israel"). Since ancient times, these catagories have been blurred, but usually there is something in a person's last name that would give us a hint (Cohen, Kahane, etc = Aaron, or "Priest", "Levine, Leavitt, Levi, etc = "Levite", and then all the other names would indicate "Israelite"). In any case, Jesus, of the tribe of Judah, was called upon to go up and read one of the Day's Readings. And it was Isaiah 61.

The fury of the people was unleashed when Jesus, after reading from the scroll, said Today, this is fulfilled..." What an uproar this caused! How DARE He!The people were very angry at this local tradesman saying such a thing!

Sometimes, the very people who should know you the best seem to not have a clue about you at all. And these are often the very same people who reject and scoff at some deep spiritual insight that you may have. It is very easy to feel rejected and hurt when this happens.

Just remember...You are NOT alone.

Speaking of Levites, 30 years ago exactly this year is when the Temple Institute began training the direct descendants of Ancient Hebrew Priests, then children, but soon-to-be Priests for Third Temple.

This is how close we are to everything coming to pass.

Praying for Israel and that She turns to the One they pierced (Zechariah 12:10) in whom the remnant will find everlasting Salvation.

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

HE Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.

10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
