Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem







The Names and Titles of God (Avenger)

Romans 12:19

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord..

King James Version

God Bless America.

A friend of mine made to to be on JEOPARDY!. As you know, I have been trying for years, but her name finally came up. She did very well, and had the highest score going into Final Jeopardy with the category:

OLD TESTAMENT.

"Ha Ha! she mused. "I'm Jewish! I'll know the answer! I'm sure glad it wasn't NEW Testament!"

She placed her bet...ALL or Nothing.

Then, after the commercial break, the Final Clue was revealed:

"These are the two books of the Torah in which The Ten Commandments are listed."

Uh Oh. She knew the first answer was Exodus, but what was that second Book? Aha! Numbers! It's got to be Numbers. After all, "TEN" is a Number, isn't it?"

And so, she carefully wrote out

"WHAT ARE EXODUS AND NUMBERS?",

and LOST Everything.

I felt so bad for her! I knew the correct response should have been WHAT ARE EXODUS AND DEUTERONOMY?",

because that's what "Deuteronomy" means...the "Second Reading."

Today's Name for God is "My Avenger".

There are at least One Hundred Verses in the Bible about taking Revenge. As far as the Commandments of God are concerned, in my opinion, ONCE is enough to make it valid, but even the Ten Commandments are given twice.

Knowing that we have an "Avenger" releases us from the onus of taking our own Revenge. It is not a denial of the injustice and evil that exist in our world. It is not a prohibition against self-defense, crime and punishment, or justice being served.

It is for us who personally have been wronged. Even if the issue is unresolved, we are not to take revenge just for the sake of "getting back" at someone.

Establishing Justice and "Getting Revenge" are two entirely different things.

Like I said, there are at least one hundred verses in the Bible about God being Our Avenger. If that's not enough, well, I hardly know what to say!

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

For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. (Mark 4:22)

God Bless America.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Hallelujah and Amen

Amen !!! <><

Psalm 7

A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjaminite.

1 O Lord my God, in you I take refuge;
save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,
2 or like a lion they will tear me apart;
they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this,
if there is wrong in my hands,
4 if I have repaid my ally with harm
or plundered my foe without cause,
5 then let the enemy pursue and overtake me,
trample my life to the ground,
and lay my soul in the dust.
Selah

6 Rise up, O Lord, in your anger;
lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;
awake, O my God;* you have appointed a judgement.
7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you,
and over it take your seat* on high.
8 The Lord judges the peoples;
judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness
and according to the integrity that is in me.

9 O let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous,
you who test the minds and hearts,
O righteous God.
10 God is my shield,
who saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judge,
and a God who has indignation every day.

12 If one does not repent, God* will whet his sword;
he has bent and strung his bow;
13 he has prepared his deadly weapons,
making his arrows fiery shafts.
14 See how they conceive evil,
and are pregnant with mischief,
and bring forth lies.
15 They make a pit, digging it out,
and fall into the hole that they have made.
16 Their mischief returns upon their own heads,
and on their own heads their violence descends.

17 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,
and sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High
