Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Dear Father In Heaven,
How Hallowed is Your Most Wonderful Name!
We Love You With Our Whole Heart
With Our Whole Soul
With Our Whole Strength
And With Our Whole Being.
You Alone Are Worthy of Worship
You Alone Are The One True Holy and Righteous God.
Rock of All Ages,
Our Creator,
You Have Made Us,
and All That Is.
Teach us day by Day
That it is Not by Might,
Not by Power,
But By Your Spirit That We Shall Overcome.

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.

”The Greatest Of these Is Love.”

If you would like to be on or off the Daily Ping List, please let me know.

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.

One of my cherished memories of Jerusalem was my self-guided solo walk along the ramparts. I had wanted to walk the entire perimeter, but, like the road around Kauai, the path abruptly ends at one point, and you have to turn around and go back the way you came. On Kauai, this is due to Sea Cliffs. In Jerusalem, it is because of The Temple Mount, parts of which are restricted against non-muslims. Imagine my delight at finding this VIDEO. (The tour is in "Real Time" so give yourself an hour and a half.)

The most interesting features of the Walls of Jerusalem are the Gates. Climbing up gives you a commanding view of the City and beyond. There are interesting Historical Markers along the way.

One Gate, however, is not accessible. That is the Eastern Gate, through which The Messiah is expected to enter the City. It is most probably the Gate through which Jesus made His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, since it is directly across from The Mount of Olives. Suleiman the Magnificent believed that the Jewish Messiah would be entering Jerusalem by this gate, so he had it sealed up in 1540-1541AD. Then, the area right in front of the gate was made into a Muslim cemetery, to prevent the Messiah from attempting to pass through. The blocked gates are there to this day, and so are the graves.

Psalm 24 is the Text for today's CHORUS.

Psalm 24 is especially beautiful, and can have a number of different meanings. Here are a few:

1. The Entry of the Ark of the Covenant: During King David's reign, he longed to build a Temple on the area he had purchased from Aruna the Jebusite. It had been a Threshing Floor, so it was on a nice flat area on top of a Mountain. The Ark, which had been housed in various places since the Exodus, had been moved around, captured by enemies, recovered, and guarded for years in various places. David wanted it to have a permanent home. As David brought the Ark into Jerusalem through the Gate, he danced with Joy, praising God. It is theorized by some scholars that Psalm 24 is the Song David wrote for this Special Occasion.

2. The Triumphant Entry: In Matthew 21:10, Jesus is described as entering Jerusalem (presumably through the Eastern Gate), riding on a donkey. This is in direct fulfillment of Zechariah 9, which describes a King, riding on a donkey, entering Jerusalem. Some scholars speculate that Psalm 24 just happened to be the Liturgical Reading in the Temple that day, but, who knows?

3. The Ascension into Heaven: This is the context in which Charles Jennens placed Psalm 24. He envisions the Gates of Heaven opening up to receive the Risen, Glorified Jesus (Acts 1:9-10)

4. The Gates to the Soul: OK...this is my own interpretation, so you can take it with a truck full of road salt. Our eyes, ears, and other senses are the gateways to our soul. Jesus calls them "Windows" (Matthew 6), and He also refers to Himself knocking on the door of our hearts (Rev. 3:20). Some of us, though, block up that door like Suleiman the Magnificent, and some even plant corpses (distrust, resentment, unforgiveness, the occult, anger, revenge, etc) in front of it to keep Him from passing through the Gate. Some keep their eyes (and heart) focused downward onto worthless things, that keep us from Joy and Inner peace. The Psalmist tells us to "Lift Up" those gates, gaze upward, listen intently, and be eager to receive from God what He has for you.

Lift up your heads...so that The King of Glory may enter.

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

AI Overview The Golden Gate of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem – Ritmeyer ...

In 1969, archaeologist James Fleming discovered an archway and a mass grave in Jerusalem outside the Eastern Gate of the Old City, but subsequent analysis suggests he found a stairway leading to the gate, not the original lower gate itself. This Herodian-era arch is now believed to be part of a staircase, as the bedrock level and the gate's stone type are inconsistent with a lower, older gate.

Fleming's discovery: While investigating the area after heavy rainfall, Fleming fell into a hole and discovered an archway and a mass grave outside the current Eastern Gate.

Initial belief: Initially, it was thought that Fleming had found the original, lower Eastern Gate.

Current interpretation: Reputable archaeologists now believe that Fleming's discovery was an arch of a Herodian-era stairway that led up to the gate.
