Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem




The Prophet Amos
Chapter 8



Vision of the Summer Fruit

1. Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2. And He said, “Amos, what do you see?”

So I said, “A basket of summer fruit.”
Then the LORD said to me:

“ The end has come upon My people Israel;
I will not pass by them anymore.
3. And the songs of the temple
Shall be wailing in that day,”
Says the Lord GOD—

“ Many dead bodies everywhere,
They shall be thrown out in silence.”
4. Hear this, you who swallow up[a] the needy,
And make the poor of the land fail,

5. Saying:

“ When will the New Moon be past,
That we may sell grain?
And the Sabbath,
That we may trade wheat?
Making the ephah small and the shekel large,
Falsifying the scales by deceit,
6. That we may buy the poor for silver,
And the needy for a pair of sandals—
Even sell the bad wheat?”
7. The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob:

“ .Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall the land not tremble for this,
And everyone mourn who dwells in it?
All of it shall swell like the River,[b]
Heave and subside
Like the River of Egypt.
9. “ And it shall come to pass in that day,” says the Lord GOD,

“ That I will make the sun go down at noon,
And I will darken the earth in broad daylight;
10. I will turn your feasts into mourning,
And all your songs into lamentation;
I will bring sackcloth on every waist,
And baldness on every head;
I will make it like mourning for an only son,
And its end like a bitter day.
11. “ Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord GOD,

“ That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the LORD.
12. They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the LORD,
But shall not find it.
13. “ In that day the fair virgins
And strong young men
Shall faint from thirst.
14. Those who swear by the sin[c] of Samaria,
Who say,

‘ As your god lives, O Dan!’
And, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives!’
They shall fall and never rise again.”

Footnotes:

[a] 1. Amos 8:4 Or trample on (compare 2:7)
[b] 2. Amos 8:8 That is, the Nile; some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac, Targum, and Vulgate read River; Masoretic Text reads the light.
[c] 3. Amos 8:14 Or Ashima, a Syrian goddess

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed Be Your Name!
How We Long For Your Kingdom,
and That Your Perfect Will Be Done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
You Alone Are Worthy,
You Alone Are LORD,
You Alone Are The One True God of the Universe.
Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent,
There is No One Like You.

Abba Father,
As things get worse in our fallen world,
We struggle with the thought that You Shall Not "strive with man" forever.
We see the dishonesty in business and government.
We see the oppression of the needy.
We see the greed and the subterfuge.
We see the lies and duplicity of the media.
We see the corruption of our beloved institutions,
The trampling of our Constitution,
The duplicity of our leaders,
The greed and destructive manipulations of people like George Soros,
The degeneration of our entertainments,
And the complete co-opting of our Educational Systems.
We see good and decent people destroyed by lies and calumny.
We see trained and talented people out of work for years.
We see our free Enterprise system hamstrung and laid waste by those who worship the earth instead of You.
We see Your Gifts and Bounty lie fallow in the earth due to those who would regulate our Beloved Nation into a Third World Economy.
We Have seen YOUR Precious Name abused, besmirched, and Banned by those in authority, academia, and the media.
And those who do not know You, would have us think that they can go on like this forever.
Open Our Eyes to The Spiritual Warfare that Is Taking Place,
So That We Will Be Armed properly,
And not take these attacks personally.

And now, indeed, there is a Famine in the land.
A famine, not of weather, but of Your Holy Word.
Although Your Word is available to us at the click of a mouse,
In thousands of human languages,
the enemy has managed to have Your Word banished from the Public Square,
From Education, Entertainment, and Government.
The result has been the kind of corruption that Amos decries in this Chapter!

Thank You, Father, For Your Prophetic Word,
Your Holy Prophets,
Your Insight, and Your Discernment.
Thank You For Giving Us Guidance For What Lies Before Us,
And Hope For Your Blessed Appearing!

Scatter and Confuse the Enemies of Israel,
Who are also Our Enemies.
Make their nobles and all their princes,
Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.”
O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
Like the chaff before the wind!
As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
So pursue them with Your tempest,
And frighten them with Your storm.
Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek Your name, O LORD.
Let them be confounded and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD,
Are the Most High over all the earth.

LORD, We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We pray for an END to Lies,
Slander, Blood Libel,
Propaganda,
And Antisemitism against Your Beloved.
We Pray For An End to Slavery,
Hostage-Taking, and Piracy
Wherever it is Practiced Around the World.
We Beseech You on Behalf of Our Captive Brethren,
Christians and Jews,
In Bondage in Hostile lands.

We Plead For Your Control
Over All the Holy Sites in Israel,
Especially The Temple Mount, Rachel's Tomb, The Garden Tomb, The Cave of Machpelah,and the WHOLE TOWN of Bethlehem.
May Anything that Defiles Your Holy Name Be Removed.
We Pray For Bibi Netayahu,
May he receive Wisdom from You
To do the Right Thing.
We Pray for Our Own Leaders in America,
May They Speak Comfort to Jerusalem.
May We NOT be Numbered Among Israel's Enemies, God Forbid!
We Pray For The American People,
May They NOT be Deceived by the Media.
May Their Eyes be Opened
With regard to God's People Israel.
We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.

Now this is my message to them who call themselves The Children of Israel
but in reality are the Children of Perdition.

You have not the Soul of Israel, yet you claim it.
As a thief claims the spoils of his burglaries and tries to sell them as his own,
you claim our heritage to sell us once again into slavery
even unto our death.

As Joseph's brothers imprisoned him in a pit,
bloodied and rent his garment to bend Israel with mourning,
so you try to imprison your brethren
and send Israel once again
into The Valley of the Shadow of Death.
You betray us with your deeds and your words.
You hate us and have abandoned The L-rd
but WE have not.

Therefore, I say into you, o false ones;
you who have risen up your voices aganst us;
you who have dishonored us;
you who have betrayed your brethren
to the evil entities you worship;
you who have injected our blood with poison
which you accepted from those who wish us dead;
you are become as a sickness in our body,
perverted and blasphemous,
a devourer of souls
and murderers of innocents.

You who claim to speak for us do not.
You lie.
There is no Commandment you have not broken;
no evil you have not perpetrated whilst claiming Jew is thy name.
Jew you might be, but ISRAEL, you are NOT!

WE, who are ISRAEL, reject you with every fiber of our being!
HaShem, G-d has chewed you up and spat you out
and though you breathe,
you are dead.

HaShem has judged you and named you with your own name which we will never speak.
Your previous names have been stricken
and we see and heed you no more.
You might raise your voices,
but only those who are like unto you will hear.
We reject you now and forever.

WE, who are ISRAEL, reclaim our heritage from you, thieves.
WE take back what is rightfully ours and G-d is with us.
G-d is with the Remnant and WE are that Remnant.
WE know who we are.
And WE know who YOU are NOT!

HaShem, My G-d, G-d of my Father,
hear our prayer this day and every day.
YOU are our Witness,
our Judge,
and our Jury.
We plead with Thee to remember Thy People, ISRAEL,
and the Righteous people in all the world who hearken unto You
and keep Thy Commandments
which You gave unto us from Thy Holy Mountain.

We know there are dark days ahead,
but Your Light is strong within us.
We will not walk away.
We will not bow down.

Like ISRAEL with whom You affixed Your Covenant,
Moses on the Mount,
and like our Founding Fathers
who bequeathed unto us this country on which You shed Your Grace,
WE hold these truths to be self-evident;
YOUR truth that resides in each and every one of us.

Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. And Forever.

Amen.

By way of a small explanation, orange is the color Israelis used for their banners, shirts, hats,and logos during the expulsion from Gush Katif, where we watched Jews herding Jews into truck containers reminiscent of the cattlecars in Hitler’s Germany.
This message is for the liebermans, the schumers, the weiners, the franks, boxers and feinsteins, jstreet, false rabbis, adl traitors, soros, et al.

The battle is still raging and the most powerful weapon will be used until ordered to cease.

Psalm 94

God the Avenger of the Righteous

1 O Lord, you God of vengeance,
you God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth;
give to the proud what they deserve!
3 O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?

4 They pour out their arrogant words;
all the evildoers boast.
5 They crush your people, O Lord,
and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the stranger,
they murder the orphan,
7 and they say, ‘The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.’

8 Understand, O dullest of the people;
fools, when will you be wise?
9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 He who disciplines the nations,
he who teaches knowledge to humankind,
does he not chastise?
11 The Lord knows our thoughts,*
that they are but an empty breath.

12 Happy are those whom you discipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,
13 giving them respite from days of trouble,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;
15 for justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 If the Lord had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
18 When I thought, ‘My foot is slipping’,
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
19 When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who contrive mischief by statute?
21 They band together against the life of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He will repay them for their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.

Heavenly Father may you continue to bring an overwhelming, crushing defeat on the forces of darkness in our nation, may you smash every crooked deed they try to hold onto power and may this be so convincing that everyone knows that your hand is in this. Then we may bring the light of your Gospel to the nations as you did this time in history:

http://jn1838.blogspot.com/2010/02/battle-of-lepanto-battle-that-saved.html

May you block and undo every policy and piece of legislation they have passed that is harmful to this nation. This day we shatter the clay jar of Jeremiah 19 in their faces. May you punish those in our government who are lawless traitors and also enemies of Israel by exposing them and deliver them into our hands for justice

And this we humbly ask in Jesus name.

Psalm 37

Exhortation to Patience and Trust
Of David.

1 Do not fret because of the wicked;
do not be envious of wrongdoers,
2 for they will soon fade like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so you will live in the land, and enjoy security.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
6 He will make your vindication shine like the light,
and the justice of your cause like the noonday.

7 Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices.

8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath.
Do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For the wicked shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look diligently for their place, they will not be there.
11 But the meek shall inherit the land,
and delight in abundant prosperity.

12 The wicked plot against the righteous,
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he sees that their day is coming.

14 The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to kill those who walk uprightly;
15 their sword shall enter their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken.

16 Better is a little that the righteous person has
than the abundance of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous.

18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
and their heritage will abide for ever;
19 they are not put to shame in evil times,
in the days of famine they have abundance.

20 But the wicked perish,
and the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures;
they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.

21 The wicked borrow, and do not pay back,
but the righteous are generous and keep giving;
22 for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land,
but those cursed by him shall be cut off.

23 Our steps* are made firm by the Lord,
when he delights in our* way;
24 though we stumble,* we* shall not fall headlong,
for the Lord holds us* by the hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
26 They are ever giving liberally and lending,
and their children become a blessing.

27 Depart from evil, and do good;
so you shall abide for ever.
28 For the Lord loves justice;
he will not forsake his faithful ones.

The righteous shall be kept safe for ever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
and live in it for ever.

30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,
and their tongues speak justice.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;
their steps do not slip.

32 The wicked watch for the righteous,
and seek to kill them.
33 The Lord will not abandon them to their power,
or let them be condemned when they are brought to trial.

34 Wait for the Lord, and keep to his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land;
you will look on the destruction of the wicked.

35 I have seen the wicked oppressing,
and towering like a cedar of Lebanon.*
36 Again I* passed by, and they were no more;
though I sought them, they could not be found.

37 Mark the blameless, and behold the upright,
for there is posterity for the peaceable.
38 But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;
the posterity of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
he is their refuge in the time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and rescues them;
he rescues them from the wicked, and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.

Justice, Justice shall you pursue.

Thank You, MestaMachine, for your Prayers for the Peace of Jerusalem, and our beloved Nation. Thank You For that stunning graphic and Your Powerful, heartfelt prayer! I can feel your anguish over those who go by the Name of the L-rd, but who do not "practice what they preach". I have experienced this so much in my own Faith Journey, so the sin is not confined to one group of people. Your prayer articulates my heart's cry for the people of G-d.
