Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem





The Scriptures In Handel’s Messiah

Zechariah 9:9-10

9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

(King James Version)

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem






Oh Lord, our God
We Praise Your Holy Name!
You Alone Are Worthy,
The One True God
King of Kings,
And Lord of Lords!

Thank You, Father,
For Giving us a Glimpse of heaven,
A Touch of Your Glory,
And A Taste of Things to Come!

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.



God Bless America.

______________________________________________

At This Point in Handel's Messiah (#18), the libretto flows seamlessly from the Gospel of Luke back to the Hebrew Prophet Zechariah. From here, it will flow back through Isaiah, and then to the Gospel of Matthew. Here is the link to this beautiful Solo Rejoice Greatly!

This juxtaposition of Old and New Testament Scriptures testifies to the skill of the Librettist Charles Jennens. While encyclopedia entries are not entirely complimentary to Jennens, and seem to portray him as a somewhat reclusive and cranky individual, he was reportedly Handel's favorite librettist. He was also very devout, but in a somewhat non-traditional way. This is shown in the respectful and masterful use of Old Testament Scriptures to tell the Gospel Story.

"Rejoice Greatly" is a perfect example of this. The Prophet Zechariah speaks of a King entering Jerusalem on a Donkey. Those of us who are familiar with the Gospels know exactly how that Prophecy was fulfilled, as the Event we celebrate on Palm Sunday.

Jennens seemed to have a unique way of uniting the Old Testament with the New and making it make sense, both to devotees of one, the other, or both. The Old Prophecys the New, and the New Fulfills the Old.

Even though Jennens wasn't entirely thrilled with Handel's adaption of his libretto to music, I, for one, don't thing ANYBODY could have done it better.

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

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

God Bless America.

Psalm 96

1 O sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples.
4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be revered above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 Worship the Lord in holy splendor;
tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Say among the nations, ‘The Lord is king!
The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved.
He will judge the peoples with equity.’
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
12 let the field exult, and everything in it.
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
13 before the Lord; for he is coming,
for he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with his truth.
