Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Isaiah 49

1. Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken,
ye people, from far;
The LORD hath called me from the womb;
from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

2. And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword;
in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft;
in his quiver hath he hid me;

3. And said unto me,
Thou art my servant,
O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

4. Then I said, I have labored in vain,
I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain:
yet surely my judgment is with the LORD,
and my work with my God.

5. And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob again to him,
Though Israel be not gathered,
yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD,
and my God shall be my strength.

6. And he said,
It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
and to restore the preserved of Israel:
I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles,
that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

7. Thus saith the LORD,
the Redeemer of Israel,
and his Holy One,
to him whom man despiseth,
to him whom the nation abhorreth,
to a servant of rulers,
Kings shall see and arise,
princes also shall worship,
because of the LORD that is faithful,
and the Holy One of Israel,
and he shall choose thee.

8. Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee,
and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee,
and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth,
to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

9. That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth;
to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves.
They shall feed in the ways,
and their pastures shall be in all high places.

10. They shall not hunger nor thirst;
neither shall the heat nor sun smite them:
for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them,
even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

11. And I will make all my mountains a way,
and my highways shall be exalted.

12. Behold, these shall come from far:
and, lo, these from the north and from the west;
and these from the land of Sinim.

13. Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth;
and break forth into singing, O mountains:
for the LORD hath comforted his people,
and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

14. But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me,
and my Lord hath forgotten me.

15.Can a woman forget her sucking child,
that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
yea, they may forget,
yet will I not forget thee.

16. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;
thy walls are continually before me.

17. Thy children shall make haste;
thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

18. Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold:
all these gather themselves together, and come to thee.
As I live, saith the LORD,
thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all,
as with an ornament,
and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.

19. For thy waste and thy desolate places,
and the land of thy destruction,
shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants,
and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

20The children which thou shalt have,
after thou hast lost the other,
shall say again in thine ears,
The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

21. Then shalt thou say in thine heart,
Who hath begotten me these,
seeing I have lost my children,
and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro?
and who hath brought up these?
Behold, I was left alone;
these, where had they been?

22. Thus saith the Lord GOD,
Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles,
and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms,
and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

23. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers,
and their queens thy nursing mothers:
they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth,
and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

24. Shall the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the lawful captive delivered?

25. But thus saith the LORD,
Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,
and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered:
for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee,
and I will save thy children.

26. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh;
and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine:
and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Savior and thy Redeemer,
the mighty One of Jacob.

Jackv, This post and Today's text was an Imperative for me today.
Yesterday was a difficult one for me.
I was getting my hair done, and in the next chair was a seminary student from a S. Florida Church that was founded by a Late Famous Evangelical and Great Friend of Israel and the Jewish people.
Anyway, he was rattling on about how the Modern Jewish State was NOT God's People!
I said to him, "I don't know about YOU, but MY God KEEPS His Promises!"
To which he smarmily replied, "God doesn't HAVE to keep His promises, because He is SOVEREIGN!"
Suddenly Scriptures came to my mouth about the Character of the LORD and I started rebuking this dude, right in the Salon!
He was calling God a LIAR!
He was impugning the RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THE FAITHFULNESS OF THE SUPREME BEING!

I told him , that even if some guest speaker or professor in his seminary had SAID that, he should have rejected it immediately and NEVER had repeated or expressed it because it was blaspheming the character of the LORD.

I NEVER do stuff like that! I made SUCH a SCENE!I guess when it comes to messing with the Charachter of My LORD, DON'T MESS WITH ME! LOL!

The Beloved Founder of that Seminary must be spinning in his grave somewhere.

This is the first time I remember reading Isaiah 49. Some very interesting verses here.

HA!HA! I was expecting Job..

Chastisement of the LORD to Israel was over and over. I know we are still just like them. They had a form of godliness but denied the power thereof.

Over and over ... we all want to go our own way, make our own decisions, choose what we believe and ignore what we do not understand or what we do not like. MO

Father forgive us for we know not what we do. We are led astray, we are hard hearted, we are rebellious, each turns to his own way. We are in the world ... not of the world.

“There shall be no gods before me.”

Mercy, loving kindness and tender mercies LORD we cry for receiving. Help us O LORD to be pleasing to You and to walk in the light of your Word. You are a gracious God, God, full of Majesty and Magnificence a generous God, a Awesome All POWERFUL God. Thank You, Father that You first loved us. Thank you, for feeding us everyday of our lives, blessing us daily, forgive our ignorance and apathy. shine the light of Your presence upon us. Bless Israel, Jerusalem, the persecuted believers, America, and the lost, the brokenhearted, and the captives. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

_________________________________________________________ Isaiah 62
“ 1.For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

2.And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

3.Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

4.Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

5.For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

6.I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

7.And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8.The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

9.But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

10.Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

11.Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

12.And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.”
