Psalm 132:13-14
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place:
14 “This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
The location was an unlikely one for David to place his capital, but it had great spiritual significance for the Jewish people because on this very mountain Abraham brought Isaac — his only son by his barren and aged wife Sarah — to be a sacrifice onto God. We read in:
Genesis 22:2:
2 Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
It then says in verse 14:
14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
Of course, God did provide a ram as a sacrifice in place of Abraham’s son Isaac, which many believe is a representation of the Lamb of God, who was given for sin. Our Lord God is Jehovah Jireh. He provides us for our daily sustenance.
Let us pray for the peace of Jerusalem. This is a mandate ordained by God for every born again believer in Christ.
Psalm 122:6
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
Have you received the free gift of salvation through Christ Jesus? It is not too late. The Bible in Acts 16 verse 31 says this:
Acts 16:31
31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household.
In Jesus precious name! Amen.
Maranatha!
