Pray for Peace of Jerusalem

Pray for Peace for Jerusalem!

"I was glad when they said to me: 'Come to the house of God.' Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact. Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of GOD. For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. PRAY FOR PEACE OF JERUSALEM; prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. BECAUSE OF MY BROTHERS AND FRIENDS, say: PEACE IS IN IT. BECAUSE OF THE HOUSE OF GOD, seek thy good "(Psalm 122. 1-9).

We would like to share our love for Israel, a love that seems ever born and raised with us. The Lord has prospered us so much ,as he says He would, he granted us. For the grace we visit in 2001 to the Holy Land. Recalling that prosperity is not material wealth, but the abundance of spiritual grace that grants us the mercy to be happy in any circumstance. Watching the film on the story of King David and seeing how he conquered the area that would become the future city of Jerusalem, our love was awakened again because it was asleep. Our churches, mostly lacks the observance of this biblical commandment, because they think it is things from "old testament"! Jesus, as He Himself says did not come to abolish the Law but fulfill there! Then we must pray for Jerusalem as the Old Testament says!

THE CHOSEN PEOPLE

Originally God chose Israel to be His chosen people, but His people rebelled against Him time and again. The door to salvation was open to the Gentiles. Throughout the history of 6,000 years, God kept His promise and never completely rejected the Israelites. 70 years after Jesus' death, Israel did not exist at all and the nation became a nation once again in 1948 after the Second World War. History shows that the great empires that once flourished were lost for ever, never to revive again, the Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Islamic empires were history. The chosen people of Israel existed for 6000 years, and 4000 years of existence later, they were scattered around the world, and Israel did not exist for nearly 2000 years. Now Israel is slowly getting together again in this century.
God blessed Abraham, the ancestor of David, His chosen king. In Abraham, all who believe in the God of Abraham would be chosen and saved. Jesus Christ came from the line of David.

ISRAEL: SEVEN SPECIES HONEY

 

Honey from dates

Before the Israelites entered the Promised Land of Israel, God told Moses to warn the Israelites to keep the commandments of the Lord God for He was bringing them into a good land with food ready to sustain them during the drought. Seven species were mentioned and they were wheat, barley, vines, figs, pomegranates, olive and honey. If they disobeyed God and worshiped other gods, they would surely perish.

Deuteronomy 8:6-11:

• Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
• For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills.
• A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive and honey;
• A land where thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; ..
• When thou has eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
• Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day.

From the land of Egypt where the Israelies were in servitude, God brought them to a land of seven species of food which would make them survive in drought. However, they must not forget to keep the commandments of the Lord, or they perish.

ESTHER: BEAUTIFUL, OBEDIENT, COURAGEOUS

According to the Bible, very few women were accorded a written book in the history of the Jewish nation. Jewish women were seen to be less active but Esther shaped the Jewish future. This responsibility fell to her because Jews have always seen women as more spiritual and open to religious ideas than men, and therefore as closer to God.
The biblical concept of obedience could be defined as humble compliance to God’s commands. The two sisters, Mary, Martha and Lazarus were friends of Jesus Christ. Mary was the one who sat listening to Jesus's feet. The Greek word for obedience involves listening or hearkening.

What does "12 Tribes of Israel" mean?

  

Throughout the Bible we read much talk about the 12 tribes of Israel. But who are these tribes? Where did they come from? What do they represent in the Bible?

The origin of the 12 tribes of Israel is described in Genesis 29, 30 and 35. 16-22. There we see described the births of 12 children of Jacob who was also named Israel. These twelve sons were: Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asser, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin.
But these 12 names does not correspond exactly to the 12 tribes of Israel.

Later, after the escape of the Israelites from Egypt, God states that the tribe of Levi would be a separate tribe to serve in the temple(especially as priests and in various ministries in the worship of God), and that would not have a specific territory in promised land. In its place and in place of Joseph, assumed the post of Israel tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim (see image below).

From there, the people of Israel is organized into 12 tribes (people), as follows: (1) Rubén, (2) Simeon (3) Judah, (4) Dan (5) Naphtali (6) Gad ( 7) Asser, (8) Issachar (9) Zebulun (10) Manasseh (11) and Ephraim (12) Benjamin. Within that organization people of the Levi tribe live among their brethren, fulfilling the orders of God to be set apart for the Lord's ministry. So they are not counted among the 12 tribes.

It is based on these 12 tribes throughout the Promised Land is divided (this story is in the book of Joshua. See map above). Later, in the Book of Kings, we have the story of how these 12 tribes have united under a monarchy, which reigned Saul, David, Solomon.

After Solomon's death, the 12 tribes split and formed two kingdoms: the Southern Kingdom (Judah and Benjamin), which had as its capital Jerusalem. And northern kingdom: (the other 10 tribes), which had as its capital Samaria. Each of these kingdoms had its own king. After this division never hear a unification of the 12 tribes of Israel. The two kingdoms (Northern and Southern) have always had enmity problems.

Briefly would be that the story about the 12 tribes of Israel.
