Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

(Music in The Bible)

Isaiah (The Servant Songs) Chapter 52

    Awake, awake, Zion,
    clothe yourself with strength!
Put on your garments of splendor,
    Jerusalem, the holy city.
The uncircumcised and defiled
    will not enter you again.
2 Shake off your dust;
    rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains on your neck,
    Daughter Zion, now a captive.
3 For this is what the Lord says:

“You were sold for nothing,
    and without money you will be redeemed.”

4 For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“At first my people went down to Egypt to live;
    lately, Assyria has oppressed them.

5 “And now what do I have here?” declares the Lord.

“For my people have been taken away for nothing,
    and those who rule them mock,[a]”
declares the Lord.
“And all day long
    my name is constantly blasphemed.
6 Therefore my people will know my name;
    therefore in that day they will know
that it is I who foretold it.
    Yes, it is I.”

7 How beautiful on the mountains
    are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
    who bring good tidings,
    who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
    “Your God reigns!”
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices;
    together they shout for joy.
When the Lord returns to Zion,
    they will see it with their own eyes.
9 Burst into songs of joy together,
    you ruins of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted his people,
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm
    in the sight of all the nations,
and all the ends of the earth will see
    the salvation of our God.

11 Depart, depart, go out from there!
    Touch no unclean thing!
Come out from it and be pure,
    you who carry the articles of the Lord’s house.
12 But you will not leave in haste
    or go in flight;
for the Lord will go before you,
    the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

New International Version (NIV)(End of Scripture Passage)

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Oh LORD,
Our God,
How Excellent is Your Name over all the Earth!
How Marvelous,
How Glorious,
and How Magnificent!
It is You Who created the Bright and Dark Stars,
The Galaxies and the Singularities,
The Quasars and the Star Clusters,
That man in his hubris are only now just discovering!
They are Your Artwork,
Your Passing of the Time,
Your Creation For The Pleasure of Your Eternal Mind!
You See the End From The Beginning,
And the Beginning From The End.

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

Yesterday, we talked about the Good News/Bad News Idiom in our language. Since much of Hebrew Poetry consists of contrasting couplets, we can see where this idiom perhaps got its start. Isaiah is full of Good News/Bad News scenarios, and the Servant Songs are a primary example.

Yesterday, the Prophet sang of the wickedness of mankind and the Judgement of God. That was the Bad News.

Today we hear about the Good News. The Servant of God, The Redeemer, brings this Good News, which is so lovely that even the feet that carry Him are Beautiful.

Some scholars go so far as to call Isaiah's Servant Songs as a "Fifth Gospel". The word "Gospel" is from a old English word that means...you guessed it..."Good News".

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