Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father
We Know You Are The One True God The Mighty One Of Israel
You are The Refining Fire
You Restore The Years That The Worm and The Locust Have Eaten
How We Hunger and Thirst For Your Righteousness
How We Long For Your Restoration and Your Peace!

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.

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)

God Bless America.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Hallelujah and Amen

Today's Scripture is sung by the Bass as a Recititve followed by an "Air" or "Aria". They go together, and you can listen to it HERE.

I would like to take this moment to describe something very special about Handel's treatment of Jennins' Lyrics. Handel uses the music to paint a picture. Here, the text is describing "Darkness covering the earth". A very dark voice (not just a baritone, but a BASS!) wavers between two low notes that are very close together on the scale, a half-step. This is the same interval used by Composer John Williams in his iconic Shark Theme in JAWS. (Residents of Boston know this theme very well, as Williams was conductor of The Boston Pops for years). Remember, Handel did it 284 years ago, and it is very effective in conveying Darkness.

As we go through this Wonderful Work bit by bit, we will see many more of these "Musical Paintings" as we go along. In fact, even though I have listened to it hundreds of times, I am still discovering new ones.

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)

God Bless America.

Amen to your word and lovely pictures. It is dark, may there be a great awakening in this darkness.
