122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. I am well aware that their are different view points as to the importance of Israel to the Christian and to the calendar of God. However, the Bible is clear that we need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and that we are to bless the seed of Abraham.
12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
With Iran flexing it's muscles, once again the Middle East Region has become a tinder box waiting to explode. Radical Islamic states and organizations such as Iran, Hezbollah, Syria are bent on Israel's complete and utter destruction. Support and sympathy for Israel over recent years has diminished and with a new president of the United States, we might even see a shift in the United States relationship with Israel. Leaving Israel with few friends and even more enemies. I believe that God's calendar of events is wrapping up and we will soon be seeing some more events that line up with Biblical prophecy. I encourage you to pray for Israel for 2 things. 1. For their protection from their enemies. 2. That their eyes would be opened and that they might look on Him whom they have pierced and in faith as a nation receive their Messiah Yeshua/Jesus.
I came across this video and I think it will be a blessing to you and a reminder to pray for Israel. http://www.acwitness.org/psalm83english.html
