Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Today's Psalm 119 Stanza is "Chet~Heth", the Eighth Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. The Reason the Letter looks so Familiar is that it has been made into jewelry and worn by Jewish People Everywhere.

"Chet" is a Guttural Sound, like the "ch" in "Bach", and is the First Letter in These Wonderful Hebrew Words:

Chayim=Life
Chen=Grace
Chockmah=Wisdom
Chayah=Living
Chesed=Mercy

It is the EIGHTH Letter of the Alphabet, and Its Original Pictograph was a Courtyard, or GARDEN! Eight is a Special Number in The Bible:

Eight People Saved in Noah's Ark
Eight Times God's Covenant With Abraham Confirmed
Sons To Be Circumcised on their Eighth Day of Life
Eight Days in the Feast of Sukkot
David was the Eighth Son of Jesse
Eight Days of Chanukah

The Cave of Machpelah in Hebron was Purchased by Abraham from the Sons of HETH. In this case, the letter symbolized the OPPOSITE of Life, Yet The Names Of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob LIVE on.

I share these interesting facts and figures, not to distract us from the Truth of God's Word, but as an enjoyable exploration of the awesome coherence of the Scriptures. If a person gets too obsessed with numbers and letters, gematria, or "Bible Codes", it can take one's eyes off the Author of this amazing Book. So, I always approach this kind of thing with a sense of Wonder at Who is behind it all.

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!

We pray in particular on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya and throughout the Mideast. The members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, some of which date from the days of the Apostles, suffer under cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors, we are all "Nazarenes."
