Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem





The Scriptures In Handel’s Messiah

Hebrews 1:5-6

5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

(King James Version)

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem






Almighty and Everlasting Father,
How Glorious and Wonderful is Your Most Holy Name!
You Alone Are Worthy of Worship and Praise,
For You Alone Are The One True God,
Almighty and Eternal,
Glorious and Transcendent,
Rock of Ages,
Ancient of Days,
King of Kings,
and Lord of Lords!

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.

WARNING! Execrable Pun Just Ahead!

If I say the word "Cherub", what do you see in your mind? If you think of a chubby little baby with cute little wings, you are not alone. The false image of this Powerful Spiritual Being comes to us from the Renaissance and Baroque Periods of Art History, and have adorned the ceilings of Cathedrals, Fine Art, and Christmas Cards for centuries.

However, whenever an Angel appeared to a person in Scripture, the person falls onto his face in fear and worship. The Angel always corrects the person.DON'T DO THAT! the Angel inevitably scolds. "ONLY GOD DESERVES YOUR WORSHIP!"

A proper representation of a Cherub (which is even a higher order of being than a regular angel) would not show him as a baby, and we need to repair this baroque image. (OK...that's enough!)

Many of us have an idea about angels, and what one would look like. Artists, both Great and not-so great, have been depicting their visions of angels for thousands of years.

But the Artist/Shepherd/Songwriter/King David sings of One to Whom God says, "Thou Art My Son." We were made a little LOWER than the Angels, but the Son is HIGHER.

Handel depicts this with a Tenor Recitative leading into a Jubilant Short Outburst of Chorus.

Once again, The Librettist uses Old Testament Scripture to depict a New Testament Event (The Ascension). Here's the link: Unto Which of the Angels.

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.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Amen !!! <><

Psalm 12

To the leader: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

1 Help, O Lord, for there is no longer anyone who is godly;
the faithful have disappeared from humankind.
2 They utter lies to each other;
with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
the tongue that makes great boasts,
4 those who say, ‘With our tongues we will prevail;
our lips are our own—who is our master?’

5 ‘Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan,
I will now rise up,’ says the Lord;
‘I will place them in the safety for which they long.’
6 The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure,
silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.

7 You, O Lord, will protect us;
you will guard us from this generation for ever.
8 On every side the wicked prowl,
as vileness is exalted among humankind.
