Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Meditating Upon The Names and Attributes of God



"Shield of Abraham"

(Old Testament)

Genesis 15:1

15 After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision:

“Do not be afraid, Abram.
    I am your shield,[a]
    your very great reward.[b]”

(End of Scripture Passage)







"Shield of Abraham"

Avram was given an enormous challenge. He and his wife Sarai were living out their "Golden Years" in the most affluent and cosmopolitan city of the Ancient World...Ur of the Chaldeans. A Ziggurat still stands on that ancient site, and, like the pyramids in Central America, speaks of a great and powerful civilization. But, also like the Pyramids, the Ziggurat speaks of Idolatry, Polytheism, Occultism, and Human Sacrifice.

Avram could not be the progenitor of God's Chosen People in this environment. God had to Call Him Out and bring him to a new place where Monotheism could flourish in its infancy, uncorrupted by the Lure of Babylon.

Avram had no proof that this would "work out". Yet, he gathered his family and walked away from the life he knew into the Total Unknown.

Avram Believed God, and it was imputed to him as RIGHTEOUSNESS. And God Honored Avram's FAITH by Being His SHIELD.

We pray for the Repentance, Restoration, and Renewal of Our Beloved Nation.

After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Our Lord and our God
How Blessed We Are,
To Be Able To Read Your Word,
And See Your Plan Unfold Before Our Eyes.
To See The Provision and Protection That Your Provided For Abraham.
Let us remember
That you Will Not Call Us Without Protecting Us
That You Will Not Send Us Without Shielding Us,
That You Will Not Give us an Assignment Without Providing the Means.

May the Leaders of Our Own Beloved USA
Receive Wisdom from You
to do the Right Thing.

We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

In the last few years, the Medieval Order known as the Templars have become very visible in Pop Culture. Various TV series, such as "Unearthed in America" and "The Oak Island Mystery", speculative fiction by Dan Brown, The "National Treasure" movies, and the new series called "Knightfall" are revisiting the ancient order of Knights from the time of the Crusades, attempting to make connections with the architecture of Washington DC, the Founding of America, current Fraternal Organizations, religions, and governments. Sometimes the speculation has a little ring of truth, and other times, it's just off-the-wall crazy! In any case, I find it interesting, have been to Oak Island and saw the digging first-hand (back in 1973 on my HONEYMOON! hahaha), and enjoy the TV shows without getting too wound up about it. It's Entertainment, that's all.

One of the themes that continue to pop up, whether in a stone structure in Newport R.I., a carving on Oak Island, or even the sails of Columbus's three ships, is the symbol of the Templar Cross. It is a red, equidistant cross with flared ends forming eight points. This symbol is so ubiquitous, that it lends credence to many of the TV shows cockamamie theories.

The Symbol was that which appeared on the shields of the Crusader Knights whose job it was to protect pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land. The Templars also devised a primitive form of "Travelers' Checks" so that the Pilgrims could deposit money in Europe, and cash the check when they got to the Holy Land, thus making them less vulnerable while traveling. These transactions were conducted at a special "Bench" at either end of the journey. The French word for "bench" is "banc", and it is the beginning of the world's Banking System which exists to this day. Travelers knew that when they saw that red, eight-pointed cross, that they were protected. The Shield" was their assurance.

In this Passage of Scripture, God calls HIMSELF the "Shield of Abraham". This Beautiful Name appears in the Hebrew Liturgy, and says so much. A look back at the History of the Holy Land gives us some amazing examples of how God has shielded His People, even when it looked very dark for them. It seems that, no matter what the enemy throws at them The Spirit of Israel LIVES.

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

HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR!
