Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

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

LORD, We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Beseech You on Behalf of Our Captive Brethren,
Christians and Jews,
In Bondage in Hostile lands.

We Pray For Our President,
And other Leaders of Our Beloved USA
May They Receive Wisdom from You
To do the Right Thing.
We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The idea of the Psalms forming a "Virtual Menorah" is not original with me, but it is not "official doctrine" either. It is something I came across in my studies years ago, and it made sense to me. The arrangement of The Psalms as music gives us a symmetry and rhythm that fall into place when we study them that way.

Psalm 113 is a perfect example of symmetry and balance. It has Three Stanzas of Three Lines each, and is metered (in Hebrew, of course!). It is also framed, beginning and end, by "HALLELUJAH".

The First Stanza is an exhortation to Praise.

The Second Stanza Praises God for WHO He is.

The Third Stanza Praises God for WHAT He does.

The answer to the "riddle" in the Original Post is the "Virtual Menorah" in the very first line of the Torah:

"In the beginning, God (Aleph-tav) created the heavens and the earth.

It takes fewer words to say this in Hebrew, and they are lined up on each side of the Aleph-Tav, just like a seven-branch Menorah.

So, what does "Aleph-Tav mean? It means "A-to-Z", Alpha-to-Omega, The Beginning and End.

And I think that is simply AWESOME!

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

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)

God Bless America!
