Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, prosperity within your palaces.' For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, 'Peace be within you.' Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good. Psalm 122:6-9
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem . . . you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' - Matthew 23:37-39
Jerusalem, often called the epicenter of the world, is a key focal point in God’s dealing with the nations. Jerusalem is the most strategic spiritual battle front. Jerusalem is where our Lord Jesus will once again place His feet upon the earth. We join with the followers of Jesus in Jerusalem to welcome Jesus’ return saying, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Bless the people of Israel with Your promise of redemption, shield them with Your love, and bring them renewed hope for their day of salvation. Guide Israel’s leaders and advisors with the light of Your truth. For Your Name’s sake, we declare Your promises to Israel and bless the Land with peace, and its inhabitants with lasting joy. Amen.
