Shalom,


I may have shared this before, but with all that is coming against Israel in these days, I wanted to share this again! Psalm 87:


 ¹ON THE holy hills stands the city [of Jerusalem and the temple] God founded.

    ²The Lord loves the gates of Zion [through which the crowds of pilgrims enter from all nations] more than all the dwellings of Jacob (Israel).

    ³Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah [pause, and calmly realize what that means]!

    ⁴I will make mention of Rahab [the poetic name for Egypt] and Babylon as among those who know [the city of God]--behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia (Cush)--[saying], This man was born there.

    ⁵Yes, of Zion it shall be said, This man and that man were born in her, for the Most High Himself will establish her.

    ⁶The Lord shall count, when He registers the peoples, that this man was born there. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

    ⁷The singers as well as the players on instruments shall say, All my springs (my sources of life and joy) are in you [city of our God].

Notice that GOD founded Jerusalem! That is, the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible! Now, in these days, the prophecies of the Jewish people returning to the land that God gave them are being fulfilled! He has called them back from all of the nations of the earth to return to the land HE gave them so very long ago! Make sure that YOU are standing with Israel when all others turn from them! This is the promise, AND then warning! Genesis 12:2-3:



2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others]. 

3 And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves]. 

Amen! Be a blessing to Israel and God takes notice! Here is a beautiful picture I found of the city! 

Shalom in Him!
