Pray for the Peace of European Christians (and All who Are in Christ)

Psalm 122:6 orders us to:
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.”

Apostles fulfilled this command when the prayed for the peace of the Church, and Christians, in European cities and colonies. There is NO prayer for the peace of that dusty city (called Jerusalem) in the New Testament.

The epistles were written to Christians in European cities or colonies in a European language.

Romans 1:7 “to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Cor 1:2-3. “To the Church of God which is at Corinth . . . Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

2 Cor 1:1-2. “To the Church of God which is at Corinth with all the saints who are throughout Achaia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

2 Thessalonians 1:1-2 “Tho the church of the Thessalonians in god our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Timothy 1:2 “To Timothy my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father an and Christ Jesus our Lord.” [Paul was writing from Macedonia to Timothy in Ephesus]

1 Peter 1:1 “To those who reside as aliens . . . . may grace and peace be yours in fullest measure.”

2 Peter 1:2 “Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.”

2 John 1:3 “Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.”

3 John 1:15 “Peace be to you.”

Jude: “To those who are called, believe in God the Father, and keep for Jesus Christ: May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.”

  • Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
        “May those who love you be prosper.” Psalm 122:6. YET:
  • Every Epistle is written to a European church or a Christian person, but not a single prayer for peace for that dusty city in the Middle-East.
  • “If anyone does not love the Lord, let that person be cursed!” 1 Corinthians 16:22
  • ” . . . the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars”. Rev 3:9
  • It is more biblical to pray for a curse on those who call themselves Jews than it is to pray for their peace.

One should not bless what Jesus Christ cursed.
Jesus Christ cursed the earthly city of Jerusalem. Matthew 23:37-38.

When you “pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” you are supposed to be praying for the Church of Jesus Christ, not a city in the Middle-East. Almost every Epistle starts with a prayer for peace for the Church; this is not a mistake. Example: “to the churches of Galatia, grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Galatians 1:2.

Earthly Jerusalem is a city of bloodshed.
See Matthew 23:34-36 and Revelation 18:24 below.

The Heavenly Jerusalem is the Church of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 12:22.
Those of us in Jesus Christ have already come to Mount Zion.

Matthew 23:37-38
Jerusalem, Jerusalem who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!
Behold your house is being left to you desolate.

Revelation 18:24
And in here was found the blood of the prophets and of the saints and of all who have been slain on the earth.

Matthew 23:31-35
So you testify against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up then the measure of the guilt of your fathers. You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell? Therefore behold, I am sending you propets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, so that the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the Temple and the altar.
