“These were leaders of fathers’ houses through all their generations, leading men who lived in Yerushalayim.”
1 Chronicles 8:28 CJB
What is Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)? It’s mentioned over 800 times in scripture, it’s the center of three major religions and a controversial place throughout history! Simply put it is God’s holy city, now and forever, also it is the capital for the nation of Israel! Also it’s the only city God says to pray for!
“Pray for shalom in Yerushalayim; may those who love You prosper.”
Psalm 122:6 CJB
Praying for shalom or peace is what we are called to do and we are called to pray for Yerushalayim, God’s city! Why? It is the city that makes the world stagger, but it will be the city we will all journey to one day!
“I will make Yerushalayim a cup that will stagger the surrounding peoples. Even Y’hudah will be caught up in siege against Yerushalayim.”
Zechariah 12:2 CJB
As we see the world around us getting angrier and more anti-semetic than ever, should lead us to pray and pray more!
Have a blessed day in praying for peace!
