Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you (Psalm 122:6).
Are you praying for the peace of Jerusalem?
The name Jerusalem means city of peace. Jesus rides into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday; however, the people miss the significance of the Lord being their Savior (Luke 19:28, 42). John writes, “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him” (John 1:11). Both people and place experience judgment as a consequence for not believing on the Messiah.
Because the Jews didn’t receive the One who fulfilled prophecy on Palm Sunday (Daniel 9:24-25; Zechariah 9:1-9), they are the recipients of another prophecy (Luke 21:20-24). Titus, son of Emperor Vespasian, surrounded Jerusalem on April 9 in AD 70 as Jesus predicted (Luke 21:20) and several months later devastated the city. Our Lord says, “For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled” (Luke 21:22). We should pray for Jerusalem’s peace which will ultimately be established at Jesus’ Second Coming.
Employment Point: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
