Pray for the peace of Jerusalem refers to JERUSALEM, not the church. Replacement theology is heretical garbage. You otherwise make God out to be a liar. The creation of Israel in 1948, while it may have been largely in the hands of the UN and the UK, this was GOD's doing for He promised He would bring His chosen ones, the JEWS back to their land

“For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land” (Ezek. 36:24). The passage continues, “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean…. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezek. 36:25–26).

BTW you cannot be a Jew or Christian and not be a Zionist. BTW DUMP the RSV/NRSV bible, which was translated largely by non believers and get the right one the KJV.
The Church of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ does NOT replace the earthbound, dead in sin, Israel of the flesh.

JESUS Himself is the Israel of God and we who are His Body:
= John chapters 1 -3 , Romans chapters 9 thru 11, Ephesians, Galatians, Revelation chapter 7 & chapter 21


Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
“Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you(Israel of the flesh)
and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.
- Matt 21:43

The Kingdom of God is NOT the earthbound, dead in sins, Israel of the flesh

JESUS CHRIST is the Kingdom of God = Colossians 1:13
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into
the kingdom of the Son of His love,

Israel shall be rebuilt from the ground up as was started in 1948 and it still has to be completed. Have you not read of the Valley of Dry Bones of Ezekiel 37? Your belief is heretical blasphemy for you too are calling God a liar.

John 1-3 does not call Jesus the Israel of God.

Romans 9- mentions ISRAEL the nation and how salvation comes from her

Romans 10- A Good summary for that is vs 11-13
11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 11 speaks of how God HAS NOT cast away His chosen ones, ISRAEL

Rev 7 is abundantly clear - Jesus raises up 144000 JEWS from the 12 tribes who will evangelize the world.

Rev 21 describes the New Jerusalem and doesnt call Jesus the Israel of God.

REPENT for you are spreading hate against Israel, God's chosen and you will be judged as God said unto Abraham I will bless those who bless thee and curse those who curse thee. This is ISRAEL, not Abraham directly

Isaiah chapters 61 and 62 are one sermon, they are taken together. Chapter 61 begins:

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;" (Isa 61:1-2 KJV)

Jesus quotes that and applies it to his first advent, when he came to provide the New Covenant in his blood -

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." (Luke 4:18-21 KJV)

Therefore, I do not need your help in interpretation, Jesus has already given it. As to being anti-Zionist, that does not mean anti-Jewish. Read from the Torah Jews web site where they reject the Zionist State of Israel -


For those who do not like to go to links, here are the first 3 paragraphs of that site:

"The Zionist movement began about 130 years ago, launching efforts to build a Jewish state in the Holy Land. The vast majority of rabbis fought against the new movement and discouraged Jews from joining it. Their opposition was rooted in two convictions:

1. Advocating a political and military end to the Jewish exile denies the very essence of our Diaspora existence. We are in exile by Divine decree and may emerge from exile solely via Divine redemption. All human efforts to alter a metaphysical reality are doomed to end in failure and bloodshed. History has clearly borne out this teaching.

2. Zionism not only denied our fundamental belief in Heavenly redemption; it also created a pseudo-Judaism which views the essence of our identity to be a secular nationalism. Accordingly, Zionism and the State of Israel have consistently endeavored, via persuasion and coercion, to replace a Divine and Torah-centered understanding of our peoplehood with an armed materialism."
You are talking about Jews who dont know their bible from a hole in the wall

Don't be so full of pride as i NEVER call God a liar but i BELIEVE every word that proceeds from the Mouth of God.

Perhaps it is you calling JESUS a liar? If you REJECT His words below, you are in big trouble...........

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
“Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you(Israel of the flesh)
and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. - Matt 21:43

Did i ever say Israel of the flesh is no-more? = ABSOLUTELY NOT

You are blinded by your pride and arrogance for i posted ROMANS chapters 9, 10, 11
by which i KNOW that the Second Coming of Christ will Restore the dead nation Israel back to LIFE.


Repentance for you is NEEDED = “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

My son served in the IDF in Israel at my request = did you or your children?

Talk about pride and arrogance. You look at what you wrote and how you typed it......that reeks of pride and arrogance. I stand by what I said. I do not reject the words of Jesus Christ who stands by ISRAEL FOREVER, even today

my my the pride out of your childish mouth...........
Will your pride rebuke JESUS as well???

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ” - Matt 23:37-39

Childish? I am 53 years old you silly twit, have been studying scripture for half my life and I will not be disrespected in such a manner. I stand firm in God's truth and if you want to call that pride and arrogance, then fine, I stand by that too. I also love Israel, love the Jews, love Jerusalem and know that she is facing/will face her judgment but she will be forgiven and rise again,

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls and security within your towers.'” Psa 122:6-7 NRSVue

When this is applied to this day, it refers to the church of Jesus Christ, not the UN created State of Zionist Israel -
It was to whom it was addressed. That you have an issue with modern day Israel notwithstanding. God has truly blessed His chosen nation, even in the modern day, which anyone can see if they look.

Much love!

Your words make you to be about 17 in intellect and maturity.

ALSO - i am your Elder in age, Salvation and wisdom from the Torah, the Prophets, the Gospel, the Apostles and Revelation

I also love Israel, love the Jews, love Jerusalem and know that she is facing/will face her judgment but she will be forgiven and rise again,
And i ALWAYS say the SAME

Why do you say I have an issue with modern day Israel when I have made it clear that I stand by her as we are called to? Or am I misunderstanding you here

I was replying to Arthur, who seems to reject the modern day Israel as God's chosen nation.

Get to really know me before you speak such blind stupidity. You dont know me, my maturity or intellect and maybe you have been at it for longer than I have but length of time studying Scripture doesnt make one wiser.

Do you know the definition of hypocrisy?

Here, let JESUS explain it to you:

And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye?
Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

It was you who IMEDIATELY went to insults and false accusations = your post #62

Your words reveal what is in your heart, and how you lord yourself over others.

Much love, and hope that one day you will see this!
I know I can be pretty forceful in how I approach people. But one has to ask where did Jesus say that we have to act like a bunch of limp wristed pansies? (I know your response above wasnt written to me but, you know, just sayin' anyway)

I do see clearly. I am mindful of my own sins before I call others out on theirs. I stand by what I say. I can make mistakes but when I KNOW I havent made any I will not be broken down by people like you. Look in the mirror btw........

JESUS is LORD

His words are TRUTH and when people speak against the TRUTH, like yourself, i post His words that LORD it over you.

When you reject His words and cast false accusations at me, you are lording it over the words of God.
