World peace. It's always been the elusive dream, as it still us. Government leaders have invested considerable time and energy to seek it. Some have sacrificed their political careers in the process. Mideast leaders have been assassinated because of their participation in unpopular peace treaties. Activist protestors have demanded it, carrying placards emblazoned with the readily-recognized peace symbol of the sixties. But, for all the talk and effort, world peace remains an elusive dream. And yet, the opportunity for it is only a prayer away.
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you. May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces.'" (Psalm 122:6-7)
There will never be world peace until there is peace in Jerusalem. And that peace cannot come until the Prince of Peace returns - Jesus Messiah. And that will not happen until the Jewish nation embraces their Messiah, whom they rejected two thousand years ago (Romans 11:25-27). So, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and we pray for the conversion of these chosen people.
It is apparent that apocalyptic storm clouds are gathering that will usher in the final events of this age. A great financial tsunami disaster wave is rapidly approaching, which may well figure prominently in the great upheaval of nations and peoples predicted in Bible prophecy. The fragile world peace that exists today would be abruptly swept away as desperate hostilities erupted between nations. But, it will all be the storm before the ultimate calm; the peace that originates from Jerusalem to encircle the globe.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. The sooner Jerusalem knows true peace, the sooner it will be our reality as well. Pray for the peace of the Jewish people, that they might known and embrace their Messiah, Jesus (Yeshua), the only true Son of God. And pray that a people who know the significance of the phrase, "Abrahamic Faith", might be mightily used in this ultimate peace process.
May we truly be the peacemakers that Jesus desires His people to be (Matthew 5:9).
