Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






It would be a big mistake to do a Character Study of Noah and omit this embarrassing story.
This event happened long before the giving of the Law, but there are certain moral principles that should be observed by all, even without The Ten Commandments written in stone.

The most obvious one is "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother." Instead of discreetly honoring his father by covering him, Ham left him in his nakedness and gossiped about him to his brothers! That was a profound breach of respect, especially after what the whole family had just experienced!

There is also a clue as to the term "Uncovered" that is used in the opening line of this story. This does not mean "nude" but something else, and is the term that is used later in Leviticus to describe illicit sexual activity. I don't even want to speculate about what that was, as it is not recorded in Scripture, as perhaps it should not be.

The point of the whole story is that Ham was profoundly disrespectful of his elderly, weak, and incapacitated Father, who had just, a season earlier, saved his life! The Canaanites, who were descended from Ham's son Canaan were known for their sexual immorality and have been a thorn in the side of Israel ever since.

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


Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.



Hallelujah and Amen

Prayer is powerful, to the one praying and others. When we pray in faith for others, God knows and our prayer is a positive in the world. Let us sincerely pray for peace, love, kindness, goodness, healing and for forgiveness of our transgressions. We all sin and we pray to be forgiven and to be led in truth of God’s Word. Show Faith and happiness in this world where ever we are, in Jesus name amen.
