Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Character Studies From The Bible
Paul
(Paul's First Letter to The Thessalonians)
4 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
3 It is Gods will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body[a] in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.[b] The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.
9 Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. 10 And in fact, you do love all of Gods family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lords word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
A common theory about this letter is that the Christians in Thessalonica had heard rumors that Christ had already returned, taken His people with Him, and left the Thessalonian Believers behind! Not unlike our present time, the Ancient World was filled with immorality and sin, and it seemed that all the requirements for "The End of Days" had been fulfilled. Needless to say, this caused great distress, and Paul went to great lengths to reassure them that he, the Church, and the Whole World were still in the waiting mode.
Paul then explains what WILL happen when the Time comes. In seminary, this would be a course called "Eschatology", and is a cause of great controversy among Christians. Terms like "Premillenialism" "Postmillenialism", and Amillenialism", as well as "Preterism" and "Pre-Tribulation" "Mid-Tribulation" and "Post-Tribulation" are bandied about and cause some knock-down, drag-out" conflicts right here in the Religion Forum!
Paul has a solution to these controversies: Love One Another.
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

More words of great wisdom spoken 2000 years ago that should apply to our nation today!

Amen...Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, for the Unity of the Faith, for hearts to look up for our redemption draws near, for our families and friends in need of Salvation, for our persecuted suffering among the dark nations, for the fruit of their labors to be made evident, for all nations before the LORD.
