Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Good Evening, Prayer Warriors! Once again, it's Saturday Night, and I will be sharing the thread tonight for Tomorrow Morning. I will be playing bass tomorrow, which involves a bit more than just walking in and sitting down at the piano, so I have to get an early start.

Zephaniah's Prophecy is directed mostly to Nineveh, the Capital City of Assyria. The Assyrians were cruel and vicious enemies of Israel, and Nineveh was a world-famous "Sin City". The people of the Northern Kingdom of Israel were particularly vulnerable to this enemy, and were conquered even before the Babylonians captured Jerusalem and destroyed Solomon's Temple.

Zephaniah was another "Bad News/Good News Prophet", as he not only foretold destruction and exile, but also promised restoration, pictured here as flocks peacefully grazing in safe pastures.

When Assyria swooped down and conquered Israel, it looked like it would never get straightened out again. The Bad News looked like it was going to be permanent.

And yet, here is Zephaniah, talking about a lovely pastoral scene.

Prophets that only give Bad News are defeatist and negative. Prophets that only give Good News are flatterers and sycophants. The True Prophet gives The Whole Counsel of God, both Warnings and Promises.

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

"He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." (Romans 4:25)

God Bless America!

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Prophets that only give Bad News are defeatist and negative. Prophets that only give Good News are flatterers and sycophants. The True Prophet gives The Whole Counsel of God, both Warnings and Promises.

Thank you for articulating so clearly that important truth. I'm reading through Jeremiah, and he was utterly fearless in bringing the bad news he'd been given, even in the face if serious and credible death threats. I expect the truth you articulated will stick with me henceforth.

So, I am pleased to add my Amen to what seems to be becoming a Never on Sunday thread. It is good to know that the Leader of the Prayer Warriors has her priorities straight.

Psalm 130

A Song of Ascents.

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications!

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with you,
so that you may be revered.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
8 It is he who will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.
