PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL

Psalm 122:6 (KJV)
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.”
“In light of what Jerusalem should be, the psalm ends by urging God’s people to seek the conditions that will make that a reality: the peace of Jerusalem will ensure its stability and accessibility, in order that God’s people might be able always to journey to the house of the LORD” (ESV COMMENTARY). This is a call to a people in that scripture of that day. W
e as Christians look to the cross just outside that city for our salvation. The dung hill of Jerusalem is where our salvation was purchased. That place is just as precious to us as the city is to the Jewish people.
At one point in Christian history there were more Christians living in Jerusalem than there were those of the Jewish faith. There was at that time a deep resentment because of this. The one thing we must keep in mind; Jerusalem is a city not a people. The people who have occupied Jerusalem have not always been those of the Jewish faith. Nonetheless, we must pray for the peace of Jerusalem. This property will become the place where Jesus will eventually rule out of for a thousand years. It is not as much about the temperature in the earth that will determine this rule; it depends upon the temperature of heaven. We cannot stop Jesus from walking through the eastern gate to the temple mount. Not enough army’s in this world or not enough technology can stop it when He gets ready to do what He has chosen to do; not even time itself.
I personally think we need to give ear to the prime minister with great respect and honor and to be in deep prayer and consecration to God in behalf of not just Jerusalem, but also for the whole world. We are all a community and we need the peace of God to rule our hearts and mind regardless of Geographic’s; the peace of God is heart-graphics. We as believers have the responsibility to point to the one and only one (Yeshua/JESUS) that can and will eventually bring peace to the city.
