Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem








The Trees of The Bible



1 Kings 19

The The Broom Tree

19 Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”

3 Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, 4 while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” 5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.

All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” 6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.

7 The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” 8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. 9 There he went into a cave and spent the night.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






The Broom Tree is a Bush that Grows in the Middle East in arid conditions. An odd quality of the Broom Tree is that it burns Very Hot, and its embers can be fanned up into a flame very easily.

This incident comes immediately after a huge triumph for Elijah. In the Presence of all , Elijah has shown that the gods of the nations were false idols, and the priests of baal have been exterminated, in an Awesome Demonstration of God's Power and Glory. Jezebel, the queen, has put a hit out on Elijah, and Elijah flees to the desert.

But then, Elijah experiences all the classic symptoms of Depression! He actually prays for his own death and retreats into sleep. God sends an angel to give him some food, but it takes more than one awakening for Elijah to be strengthened for his journey.

Our culture has adopted the saying "Under the Broom Tree" as an idiom for Depression. Although some will look upon Depression as a lack of faith, it is demonstrated by this Bible Story that Our God is Patient and Compassionate in nurturing those who are struggling with life "Under The Broom Tree."

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

Amen, beautiful testimony of the compassion of loving kindness of our Lord and Savior. Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, for our beloved and erring nation, for those of the lost and dark nations, that the Light of the Gospel will be ignited among them.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR
THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
And for the Preservation of the Valiant Israeli Nation!






"Elijah Fed By The Angel"
Ferdinand Bol

"AND AHAB TOLD Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.

Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.

And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.

But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.

And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.

And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.

And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.

And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?"

Great lesson today, left that other site. Didn’t know about the saying - “Under the Broom Tree”

I would like some of that bread. (Reminds me of lembas bread in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.)

Joining in prayer for Israel, our beloved America, and God’s power in the lives of His people.
