Amen, ROMT -

The IDIOTS that attack Israel WILL realize their foolishness soon, I believe.

I see the French are interceding for them.
That ought to bring results, because the French are such fierce warriors.

Psalm 122.
Praying for God's resolution to the problems.

Trust the French to look out for the French.

It's ironic that though we are told to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, we dread the one by whom Israel achieves a temporary peace.

I pray for the peace of Jerusalem. But, the only way Jerusalem will ever know PEACE is after the coming of our Lord.

The last several years I have been truly lamenting for our nation. I've also been pleading with God to destroy all the evil that has plagued the world; because I feel it can no longer be stopped (or even slowed down), by man's efforts. I've cried out to God to have mercy & give us grace for the last four years. I think God is answering ALL of the prayers & pleas of HIS people.

I now believe; (with the recent events unfolding in Israel), God is answering the prayers of His people pleading with Him- ".. to come quickly O'Lord". I think the world is in for some very difficult times in the near future. But, I also try to stay excited; "KNOWING" that the labor pains have begun.

I'm making a personal commitment to reach out to more people and encourage them to: accept Christ, receive the Holy Spirit, prepare for hardships & make way for the Lord.

Israel will know only 3 1/2 years of peace, then 3 1/2 years of horror, but not only for Israel.

Amen, tcox;
Those need to be our commitments whatever the circumstances--to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Not only Israel, but the Church at large) and the evangilism of the world.

This is why I warn people that when they see peace in the midddle east, the end is near.

+1 I pray for Israel regularly and agree with your post.

Soulwinning needs to be a priority in these end times.

We also need to prepare for hardships to come, but it should not become a religion as it has for some.
