The King has come to Jerusalem, the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Peace. At this time the prediction of Isaiah will be fulfilled, “O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD: and great shall be the peace of thy children” (Isa_54:11-13).
Psalms 147:20
The nation of Israel is unique. They are the only people given the title “Chosen People.” They are the only ones made custodians of the revelation of God. In His Word God says He has an eternal purpose for them. We are to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for the time that God will fulfill His promise to them.
