Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father,
Who Art in Heaven
How Awesome is Your Most Holy Name!
You Alone Are Worthy of Worship and Praise,
For You Alone Are The One True God,
Glorious In Majesty,
And Magnificent beyond Understanding!
You Are Our Strength and Our Song,
Our Refuge and Our High Tower,
Our Rock and Our Redeemer,
Our Sword and Our Shield!

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.

As I sit typing this, with Tippy-The-Blue-Heeler at my feet, I am reminded of a post I wrote over two years ago when I first adopted her. Since we are talking about The Holy Spirit, and His Role as Communicator, the story seemed to be relevant, as it is about Language. Here goes:

A week ago I adopted a Aussie Cattle Dog named "Tippy". She is two years old, allegedly housebroken, and was originally rescued in Houston, TX. She's a very sweet, lovable, curious, and active pup who is very smart, but I can't seem to get her to "do her business" outdoors. Every morning, it's walk walk walk, for what seems to be miles (4 laps around the park is one mile, and we do MUCH more than that), and she enjoys herself, chasing ducks and geese, squirrels and bunnies, and having a grand time. We even get a little training done, but no "business".

I shared my frustration with a neighbor, and he suggested that maybe she knew her commands, but in Spanish, since she was from Texas. As her Foster Family had been Spanish-Speaking People, this was a possibility, so I tried "Siete" (Sit!) to see if that worked. Tippy sat. But she already knew how to sit on command, so that wasn't a good test. Even though I lived in Florida 16 years, I didn't know the commands for Tippy to perform her bodily functions, so I abandoned that idea. It will be just walk walk walk until she does something, and have a reward ready when she does.

An older lady who had a lovely soprano voice once sought me out for Vocal Coaching, as she was going to do a solo in her church choir. The song was in Latin, and was very traditional. She wistfully remarked that she wished the whole service was in Latin, as it was in her youth. I asked why she preferred a service that was in an ancient language that really isn't in use anymore. Her answer was not theological, political, or religious, but was actually quite practical:

"I want to be able to walk into a Catholic Church anywhere in the world and be able to understand what's going on. If all the churches use the same language, then it doesn't matter what country I'm in or what language they speak."

Well, that made more sense than some of the other arguments I have heard on that subject. It's probably more complicated than that (changes in the Liturgy and so forth) but her reasoning made sense.

The Three Angels of Revelation 14 bring their Message to the Entire Earth. This is in accordance with the Great Commission, to bring the Good News of Salvation to every People, Language, and Tongue. The Gift of Tongues bestowed on Pentecost was a Reversal of the Dispersion of Tongues at Babel. The Good News is MEANT to be understood by everybody!

St. Jerome translated the Bible into Latin,which was, at the time a living, working language of ordinary people. That's why Latin was called "The Vulgate", not because it was "vulgar" but because it was common.

By translating the Word of God into the Vulgate, St. Jerome was making it available to everybody.

Unlike arcane, secret, occult books open only to the initiated, the Bible is meant for every People, Tribe, and Language. Unlike other religious books that supposedly only make sense in their original language, the Bible works great in any language as long as it is translated correctly from the original Hebrew and Greek. Now, with the Internet and Communications Satellites circling the Earth, there are much fewer people who have not been reached.

What seemed to be a total impossibility in John's time is not so far-fetched anymore.

While this excerpt was from my commentary on The Book of Revelation, it is also relevant to Today's Passage from the Book of Acts. The Gift of Tongues was bestowed upon the Apostles to Communicate the Gospel, not to confuse people. Yet, here is Peter stating that this Gift is for all of us, even "those who are far off". There are some very excellent Bible teachers who take every verse in Scripture literally, except this one. There are others who go to the opposite extreme, and use the Gift in an unseemly and embarrassing manner. Neither of those extremes are indicated in this simple Promise.

When we get to Paul's Letters to the Early Church, we will see that these extremes are nothing new. In the Meantime, remember that God is the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever.

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

For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. (Mark 4:22)

Great lessons here.

Like Greek was the universal language of the Roman Empire, Latin was the universal of the Holy Roman Empire.

Psalm 1

1 Happy are those
who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
or take the path that sinners tread,
or sit in the seat of scoffers;
2 but their delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law they meditate day and night.
3 They are like trees
planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season,
and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.

4 The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
