"I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth."Isaiah 62:6,7

Why do you think Jerusalem is so significant? Let's look at a little of her legend and history. According to Jewish legend, the earth was created from Jerusalem's center, from the foundational stone on the Temple Mount called the Eben Shetiyah. And thus, on the first day, legend says, God created light, and that light came forth from the Temple Mount and illuminated the entire world. Hmmm. Very interesting. Especially being that Jesus was crucified, buried in and resurrected from Jerusalem, and He is the Light of the World. He not only departed Jerusalem, but the Bible says that His return will also be to this Holy City. It's no wonder that Jerusalem is constantly the focus of the news -- it's the center of prophecy! While we can see with our physical eyes, the restoration of the Land to her Rightful Owner, we also recognize there's much work to do in Israel spiritually. There are only about 15,000 Jewish believers out of 6 million Jews. We've barely touched the tip of the iceberg! Brothers & Sisters, the Lord is strategically placing watchman throughout the world who will attentively watch and pray over Jerusalem and those who are preparing the way of the Lord. Please continue to pray for the complete restoration of Israel -- we need it!
