Loving the city of Jerusalem

Cities have always held a special place in the heart of God. Yes, they can be a place where there is so much crime and evil, which in all reality simply reveal they are places of great great need. Cities have governments that are either for the people or they are against the people. Some are small. Some are large. Some are considered mega. They are places of history and places desiring a great future. Of all the cities in the world, one stands out above them all - Jerusalem. Even today it has such significance, for the Jew, the Muslim, and the Christian, it is an important city.

This week there has been a turn in our current administrations view of Israel and the land that is rightfully theirs, promised and given to them by God. It is a dangerous thing to be against Jerusalem. If you do not believe me, listen to the prophet of Zechariah. I don't know where you stand on Jerusalem, but I hope you pray for its peace and long to see the Jews come to faith. Look at the words of Zechariah and let them speak for themselves.

"I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people, and all that burden themselves with it will be cut to pieces.." Zechariah 12:3
