S3 EP3 | Why Christians Should Pray for Jerusalem
Manage episode 343007783 series 2785635
If you’ve been around Christian circles that talk about Israel much, you’ve probably heard the Scripture verse today’s episode is based on. In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra talk about Psalm 122:6, where David gives the directive to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They discuss what that really means, why we should do it and some practical ways to pray.
The conversation includes such things as:
- Bumper sticker sayings about supporting Israel – what do they mean
- Reasons to focus our prayers on Jerusalem
- The context and meaning behind “pray for the peace of Jerusalem”
- But wait – Jerusalem is anything but a City of Peace today!
- Is this verse specifically about Jerusalem, or does it include all of Israel?
Along the Way
Along the way, you’ll hear a lot of meaningful and interesting thoughts, including:
- Psalm 122 is a Psalm of Ascent and what that means
- The meaning of Jerusalem’s God-given name
- How the Lord’s Prayer ties in with Psalm 122:6’s directive to pray for the peace of Jerusalem
- If this issue is important, does that make other issues unimportant?
- God has a heart and soul and feelings
- Ezra’s moving experience at the Temple Mount’s Western Wall
- The Ethiopian Jewish community’s saying that speaks of the innate love for Jerusalem
Plus:
- A really practical idea to help inspire prayers for far-away Jerusalem and Israel
- The destiny of Jerusalem that adds an essential factor to praying for her
