Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Last Night, I happened to notice that on PBS, a Special program was going to be aired at 9:00PM called "Remembering Leonard Nimoy". I watched the time on my computer (which is in a different room from the TV) because I did NOT want to miss it. Leonard Nimoy was from my old neighborhood in Boston, MA, and his father was a Barber on Morton Street. The famous "Vulcan Salute" (Live Long and Prosper) was derived from the Priestly Blessing of Aaron in the Book of Numbers Chapter Six. Even the hand gesture is a symbol of this Blessing. Leonard first saw this gesture during the Rosh Hashana Service when he was about eight years old.
I was somewhat disappointed that the program spent more time talking about the disease of COPD and the dangers of smoking than it did about Leonard's wonderful career and family. What I loved about the early Star Trek Original Series was that it had a Sense of Wonder about the Universe. When the voice said "SPACE...The Final Frontier", you knew it was going to be BIG. Nothing was outside the realm of possibility, including Giant Amoebas, Ancient Greeks, Romans, or Native Americans, Rips in the Time/Space Continuum, or whatever. Although subsequent series became politically correct, preachy, CGI agenda-driven nonsense, The Original Series carried with it the notion that ANYTHING is Possible! Years later, The Hubble Telescope has shown that the Truth is even MORE Amazing than the Speculation.
A Prayer that Leonard recited daily as a child calls God "The King of The Universe". Not "King of the World, King of the Solar System, or King of the Galaxy. He is the King and Creator of the Universe, and we haven't seen even a tiny bit of it yet!
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
God Bless America!
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
