Psa 122:6-7
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
“May peace be within your walls,
And prosperity within your palaces.”

When examining the entirety of the Word, it becomes evident how peace will come to Jerusalem.

A day is coming.
The prophets spoke much of the day that is coming.
A day when the Lord will rule over Jerusalem and all the earth.

When we pray for the peace of Jerusalem we are praying for the coming of that day.
When we pray for the peace of Jerusalem we are praying for the return of the Lord.

It is only when the Lord returns that Jerusalem will be at peace.

The Word is clear.
Between now and the Lord’s return there will be wars, rumors of wars, division, increasing lawlessness…centered around Jerusalem.

So, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Pray with understanding.

Even so, Lord Jesus, come!
