Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Even Jesus Himself said that this was a difficult teaching on Divorce. Still, we must remember that, in the Ancient World, women were considered property rather than an equal partner in Marriage. And "Easy Divorce" made it worse for women, rather than better. This miserable state of servitude still exists in the Middle East, and a woman can be "divorced" for any reason. There are even "temporary marriages" for the convenience of the man, and the discarded wife has no recourse except to become a prostitute.
The teaching of Jesus on this subject elevates the status of women in Marriage as a Holy Estate, ordained by God since the Beginning, between One Man and One Woman, and Inviolate. Divorce is very serious, and only in extreme situations. Yet, Jesus says also that this is a hard teaching, and only for those who are called of God. Even the Disciples have a hard time with it. The idea of a woman being an equal partner in a marriage, who can't be "Thrown out with yesterday's trash" was completely alien to their culture, and was part of the birth of what we call "Western Civilization".

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

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

[NEWwoman]

Joining in prayer for all of God’s people and for the protection of marriage, which stabilizes society. Protect all those who are persecuted for standing up for marriage - especially those in England, who are hounded for taking a stand, as well as those in our country. Amen

Malachi 2:15 Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking? Godly offspring. Praying with you for the Peace of Jerusalem, for our families, for our friends, for those who are persecuted, for our nation.

"AND HE ANSWERED and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, AND SAID, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? WHEREFORE they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." Matthew 19:4-6 (KJV)
