Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

Jeremiah 23:5-6
Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD,
“ That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
A King shall reign and prosper,
And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
In His days Judah will be saved,
And Israel will dwell safely;
Now this is His name by which He will be called:
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."

How could Israel not be waiting for a divine King to rescue and restore it to glory?
In this time of turbulence and unrest, the promise of prosperity, righteousness and "safe dwelling" should drive every Jew to beg the LORD for His coming and every Christian to beg for His return. What a glorious day it will be when Israel and the church will say in the words of Psalm 122,

¹ I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go into the house of the LORD.”
² Our feet have been standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem!
³ Jerusalem is built
As a city that is compact together,
⁴ Where the tribes go up,
The tribes of the LORD,
To the Testimony of Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the LORD.
⁵ For thrones are set there for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
⁷ Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity within your palaces.”
⁸ For the sake of my brethren and companions,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
⁹ Because of the house of the LORD our God
I will seek your good.

So in keeping with Psalm 122:6 - let us pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Let us pray for the return of the king. Amen.
