Land of God’s Choosing
“For the LORD will not abandon His people,
Nor will He forsake
His inheritance.” -Psalm 94
The history of Israel and the Jewish people has developed over 35 centuries. The Bible records the first thousand years of this history, during which the Jews developed a cultural, national and religious identity within the Land of Israel. Although the Jewish people have been dispersed all around the world, there has always been a Jewish presence in Israel.
Even those living in other nations never forgot their roots or the land God promised their forefathers. In 1948, 2,000 years after the Jews were forced from their homeland, Israel once again became an official Jewish State. For thousands of years the Jews have been trickling back to their homeland from over 70 countries, and now it is a patchwork of multiethnic communities living side by side.
Over the past 50 years, the population of Israel has grown seven fold. The 6.2 million inhabitants are made up of people from every ethnic background, religion and lifestyle. Jews comprise about 78% of the population, and non-Jewish people, mostly Arabs, number about 22%.
"O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD; O house of Levi, bless the LORD; You who revere the LORD, bless the LORD. Blessed be the LORD from Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!" Psalm 135:19-21
Pray for Jerusalem
for he who touches you,
touches the
apple of His eye. -Zec.2:8
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves; And give Him no rest until He establishes And makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.” Is.62:6-7
Jerusalem, Israel’s capital (population 657,500), has stood at the center of the Jewish people’s national and spiritual life since King David made it the capital of his kingdom some 3000 years ago. Today it is the seat of the government and Israel’s largest city.
With 3,000 years of history behind it, Jerusalem is now thrust to the center of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The epicenter of the conflict lies in Jerusalem and more specifically on the Temple Mount in the Old City. The Jews of Israel are locked in a conflict with their Palestinian Arab neighbors.
Although the Temple hasn’t stood for almost 2,000 years, Jerusalem continues to be the focus of the Jewish world. The Temple may not be there, but Jews believe that the intrinsic holiness of the site always remains.
In fact, Jerusalem’s Temple Mount is one of the most revered and contested pieces of land in the world. Muslems call the site Hareem al-Sharef. It’s where the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock are located. To Jews, it is the place where Kings Solomon and Herod built the first and second Temples: the holiest place in the Jewish religion. Jewish tradition also maintains that in the End of Days, during the Messianic Era, a third and final Temple will be built on Mount Moriah.

“But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.” -Matt. 5:34-35
“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you , And give you peace.” -Num. 6:24-26
“…for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.” -Zec.2:8
“If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
If I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.”
-Psalm 137:5-6

Heavenly Father,
I come in awe of Your greatness and power. You are complete and thorough love that penetrates hard hearts and dark, evil filled places. You are aware of all the hardness of hearts and evil that is being directed by some in the world toward Israel and Jerusalem. Hear the cries of the people the world over who are responding to the message, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” You alone have the ability to fill the land with peace. You alone have the power to keep the enemies at bay. You alone have the mercy and generosity to let sinners come into Your very presence by the power of the blood Jesus shed upon the cross so many years ago. I pray for daily salvations to occur in Israel and Jerusalem as Jesus becomes fully known as the Messiah. Turn, turn, turn the hearts to Jesus. Fix the eyes in the land upon Jesus and Your Word. Put an unquenchable desire in the hearts for more of Jesus until it is recognized that His is the source of the living water that brings contentment and satisfaction. Thank You for hearing the prayers of Your trusting children. There is only One God deserving of all praise and glory and it is You, the I AM. I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen
Let us never forget to pray for ISRAEL…..
Dear Lord: Thank you so much for your Faithfulness to Israel and the ancient Covenants to your chosen people the Jews. They are great and mighty people and you call them your “Inheritance”. With the love and fidelity you show your Jewish people we join you for we love what YOU love Lord Jesus and we hATe what You hate. You hate violence to your people and your Land, Jerusalem. Praise belongs to you Lord and to the City of The Great King our Messiah Jesus. You will rule and reign there, hopefully I will be with you then as well as many other believers that are faithful to the end, for one thousand years and the Lion will lay down with the lamb. There will be peace and Your Kingdom will replace what we now have….the kingdom of Darkness. Thank you Lord for bringing our US Soldiers to fight and help our dearest Ally in the Region,,,the Great Land of the KIng: Israel. Thank you for this prayer site. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
Thank you, Lord of the Angel Armies, that you have promised in your Word to protect Israel. Thank you that the American troops are a visible sign of that protection, but in the invisible realm we know you have arrayed your angel armies flying your banners to protect Israel. We rejoice over your wonderful protection and deliverance!
THANK YOU JESUS THAT AMERICA IS STANDING WITH ISRAEL WITH OUR TROOPS HELPING TO PROTECT ISRAEL..ISRAEL’S ENEMIES ALSO WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA. FATHER, IN JESUS HOLY NAME WE ASK YOU TO PROTECT ISRALI AND AMERICAN TROOPS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR LAND.
I would like to be on a prayer watch for Israel. Thank you. Sincerely, Letitia Scheffey
How much Lord, you love your people who You have chosen of old. We declare protection, wisdom and grace over the nation of Israel and we declare peace over its boundaries from Jordan to the Sea. Be round about your people and its defenders as the walls are round about Jerusalem. Most of all we declare that in a day soon to come, the people of Israel will recognize their Savior, Jesus Christ and call upon Him in the day of trouble. We thank You that the US has decided to align itself even stronger with this nation You love. In Jesus’ Name Amen.
Praise The LORD for this union…there IS hope for the US
Thank you for this update on our military. All will be placed under the
wings of our Lord in prayer. We are also working with the military wives.
We will pray for these young men and women to beaware of This oppertunity
to walk where Christ walked. For their protection and safety.
Abba Father,
May you surround the IDF and American troops with a host of angels, as well as your love and blessings as a shield as they join together to protect and defend Jerusalem, all of Israel, and your chosen people from her enemies. May those who don’t know you as Yaweh, Lord and savior, have their eyes and hearts opened during this time. May many miracles be performed in Your land and in Your name. May all know that You are God as we give You the praise, honor and glory!
Is this a daily prayer for Israel?
Please, let us know.
Many blessings,
Renate
