Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Isaiah

Isaiah 4

1 In that day seven women
    will take hold of one man
and say, “We will eat our own food
    and provide our own clothes;
only let us be called by your name.
    Take away our disgrace!”

The Branch of the Lord

2 In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. 3 Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4 The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit[a] of judgment and a spirit[b] of fire. 5 Then the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory[c] will be a canopy. 6 It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Although Chapter 4 is short, it has two very important themes. The first theme is a poem about seven women latching onto one man in their desperation to be protected. The Twentieth Century, with all its mayhem and warfare, saw the development a new art genre called "The Dystopian Story". Books and movies about the world struggling to rebuild after a nuclear Apocalypse, or some natural disaster, were churned out by the hundreds. "Godzilla", "Mad Max", and "The Terminator" are examples. One that echoes this Chapter of Isaiah is "The Postman" starring Kevin Kostner. In a miserable post-apocalyptic America, the character finds a US Postal Uniform and a bunch of mail. He dons the uniform and delivers the mail to a struggling group of people. Because the uniform represents order, power, and authority, he becomes the hero and everyone clings to him for protection. The filmmaker unwittingly paints a picture of the first theme of Isaiah 4.

The second theme is prose and speaks of the "Righteous Branch" Who will be from God, and will make all things Right. This "Righteous Branch" is also mentioned later on in Isaiah, and also in the Books of Jeremiah, Zechariah, and, as a pun on "Nazarene" in the Book of Matthew. ("Nazarene" sounds like a Hebrew word for "branch"). Later, in The second section of Isaiah, we will also read the Messiah as a "sprout from dry ground" and a "shoot from the stump of Jesse". Even though the Bible was written by many people over a period of many years, it all ties together!

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

God Bless America!

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, says the Lord : I will put My laws into their minds , And I will write them on their hearts . And I will be their God, And they shall be My people. "And they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen , And everyone his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' For all will know Me , From the least to the greatest of them. Hebrews 8:10‭-‬11

Even so..Come Lord Jesus
