Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Genesis 36

The Rulers of Edom

31 These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king reigned:

32 Bela son of Beor became king of Edom. His city was named Dinhabah.

33 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah succeeded him as king.

34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites succeeded him as king.

35 When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, succeeded him as king. His city was named Avith.

36 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah succeeded him as king.

37 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the river succeeded him as king.

38 When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Akbor succeeded him as king.

39 When Baal-Hanan son of Akbor died, Hadad[e] succeeded him as king. His city was named Pau, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab.

40 These were the chiefs descended from Esau, by name, according to their clans and regions:

Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 41 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 42 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 43 Magdiel and Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their settlements in the land they occupied.

This is the family line of Esau, the father of the Edomites.

Our Father in Heaven,
How Blessed and Glorious is Your Most Holy Name!
You Alone Are Worthy Of Praise And Worship,
For You Alone Are The Creator of All Things,
Omnipotent,
Eternal,
Omniscient And Almighty!
It is You Who Created The Stars and the Galaxies,
and the Intricacies of the Human Heart.
It is You Who Feeds The Sparrows,
And Clothes the grass of The Field With Wildflowers.
It Is You Who Causes The Thunder and Lightening to Crash,
And It Is You Who Calms The Storm Within My Soul.

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

Psalm 57

To the leader: Do Not Destroy. Of David. A Miktam, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
until the destroying storms pass by.
2 I cry to God Most High,
to God who fulfils his purpose for me.
3 He will send from heaven and save me,
he will put to shame those who trample on me.
Selah
God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness.

4 I lie down among lions
that greedily devour* human prey;
their teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongues sharp swords.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.

6 They set a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my path,
but they have fallen into it themselves.
Selah
7 My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast.
I will sing and make melody.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn.
9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the clouds.

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.

_______________________________________________________

One of the advantages of Home Ownership is Equity. Equity happens when, through diligent payments on the mortgage, prompt repairs and improvements of the property, and changing economic conditions cause the property to be worth more than it was when you bought it. Thus, when the property is sold, after the mortgage is satisfied, and all the bills are paid, the amount left over is Profit. What gets paid off plus your profit is called the Equity that YOU have built up over the years. When you do all the repairs yourself, it is called "Sweat Equity". The money you save by not hiring contractors may be a bundle, but if you are going to "Do-It-Yourself", make sure you do it CORRECTLY. Muddled, poor construction that is not according to code can actually decrease the value of a property rather than enhance it. It doeesn't seem fair that, after all that "Sweat", there isn't any "Equity"

Modern-day Media and Academia have altered the simple meaning of "Equity" to mean something totally different. Not to be confused with "Equality", the modern usage implies that, even if one's ANCESTORS suffered an injustice (and whose hasn't?), others have to give up some of their equity (often produced with much sweat) to compensate the descendants of the alleged victims. The chain of custody of this blame-game is often quite convoluted and arcane, and frequently based upon the mere color of one's skin. Since my own Ancestors were part of the Acadian Diaspora on one side, and the Irish Potato Famine on the other, today's proponants of "Equity" should be clamoring for some payments for me from modern-day Great Britain. And, my late husband, a Jew, should have been getting a check every month from Egypt, Babylon, and, of course, Germany. But...it doesn't work that way. And I certainly don't expect any "reparations".

There are quite a few stories in the Bible that don't seem "fair" to us. If we apply our own standards of "fairness", Ishmael, Hagar, Esau, and a whole bunch of other people got a raw deal. We can rationalize all we want, but the actions that led to the rejection of these individuals from the line of Messiah seem arbitrary. Abraham should not have impregnated Hagar, and he should not have thrown Ishmael out, and Jacob should not have stolen Esau's Birthright. IT'S NOT FAIR!!!

But, as we can see from today's reading, God has a way of working things out for people who have been treated unfairly by society. Ishmael had twelve sons, and they all became princes. Hagar had obtained a bride for him, and ended up with many grandchildren. One of them ended up marrying Esau. Now, Esau, even without the Birthright or his Father's Blessing, ended up having many descendants who populate the region to this day. Even the Capital City of Jordan is named after one of his sons.

From the Scripture portion we can see that Esau was the father and grandfather of a number of kings who ruled long before the Israelites even thought of having a king.

And so, it is worthwhile to plow through "The Begats" and not skip over them. Life isn't fair, and it never was, and our poor efforts to provide "Equity" will always fail. And yet, God sees all, and knows the End from the Beginning, and the Beginning from the End. Sometimes He even offers us a glimpse of it, if we know where to look.

A note about my ancesters. I’m half Slavic as my grandparents immigrated from central Europe—from Austria-Hungary, later called Yugoslavia, then after the breakup of that nation, Croatia.

Some dictionaries make the connection that the origin of the word “slave” is from “Slav” “because Slavs in Central Europe and the Balkans were commonly enslaved in the early Middle Ages.”

Waiting for my reparations. ;)
