Without question Israel and its capital city, Jerusalem, are of
paramount importance in the plans and purposes of God. And we know God uses
believers to work with Him in prayer for the carrying out of His plans, His
mysteries, on the earth (see 1 Cor. 14:2).
That’s why He commands us to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem”
(Ps. 122:6, NKJV). But this does not mean we are to pray
simply for the absence of war. It also means we are to pray for Jerusalem to
fulfill its prophetic destiny.
