🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(6/18/26)[Prayer]





Personalities

Judges 16:4-21

4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.

6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.

7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.

8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

9 Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.

10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.

11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.

12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.

13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.

14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.

15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.

16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.

18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.

19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.

20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.

21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.

( The King James Version)

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem




Oh LORD,
Our God!
How Excellent is Your Name Over All the Earth!
It Is Such A Good Thing To Praise Your Name,
Holy and Sanctified,
And Worthy To Be Praised!
It Is Fitting to Those Who Love You To Lift Up Your Holy Name,
To Exalt You, and to Exult in the Glory of Your Holiness!
For You Alone Are Worthy of Worship and Praise,
Rock of Ages,
Ancient of Days!

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.

In 1977, my husband and I stood in line for over two hours in the rain to see a new movie by George Lucas. We were not disappointed. The original Star Wars was a break from 70s Movies that had a dark, negative, quality to them. The ambivalence of the "Anti-Hero, the blurring of the line between Good and Evil, and the general pessimism of Hollywood pervaded the Movies. We had a "New Hope" that this Sci-Fi movie would be different.

When Good Triumphed over Evil, the Audience rose to its feet, cheering. I had never experienced that in a movie theater before. The movie introduced a spiritual concept called "The Force" which I recognized immediately as the Eastern Concept of "The Yin and the Yang". There was a Bright Side and a Dark Side. Good was the opposite of evil, just like the Yin/Yang Symbol so prevalent in The Martial Arts. In fact, even the Jedi costumes resembled a Karate Uniform.

Years later, though, the whole concept of "The Force" was ruined for me, by it being explained as a type of microscopic life-form that inhabited people's bloodstreams. In other words, "The Force" was a Parasite! YIKES! That just ruined it for me forever. Your opinion of this plot device may vary, but that's how it affected me.

The attribution of Samson's Strength to his actual HAIR was symbolic. The Strength came from God, and was contingent upon Samson's Faithfulness. One of God's Commands was for Samson never to cut his hair.

When a Nazarite completed his vow, and his term was over, he cut off his hair. That was the signal that his vow was complete. Samson was to be a Nazarite for LIFE. The cutting of his hair was a way of saying that his Special Relationship with God was over. Since Samson's Strength came from God, it got cut off with the hair.

The hair itself didn't contain the "nano-particles" that gave Samson his strength. It wasn't like The Midi-Chlorian. When Samson "spilled the beans" to Delilah, he was, in fact, saying that his sexual gratification was more dear to him than his relationship with the God of the Universe.

He went over to "The Dark Side".

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

Okay...
Character Studies and I’m finishing up
‘Amadeus’,What Characters in That !
Mozart a Genius dupe with Humanity...Sad.
What other Films might You like or
Dare Suggest? I Raid Goodwill for the
Buck fifty DVDs as I Can’t or won’t watch T.V. and Haven’t for 20 Years.
I wanted to ask also why you went to Samson and not Joshua,Moses Successor ?
Joshua was used in Stopping the Sun and Stars ! That really struck me as Monumental and Very Unique!
Thanks for keeping us Thinking on Jerusalem....

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.

I debated studying Joshua, but the Lord led me to Gideon and then Samson...

Maybe the Lord wanted to teach me something with these two Judges.

I have no other explanation.
