Genesis 22:14-18
Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh
(which means “The LORD will provide”),
as it is said to this day,
“On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”
15 And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham
a second time from heaven 16 and said,
“By myself I have sworn,
declares the Lord,
because you have done this and have not withheld your son,
your only son,
17 I will surely bless you,
and I will surely multiply your offspring
as the stars of heaven and
as the sand that is on the seashore.
And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies,
18 and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed My Voice.”
When Solomon asked the Lord for His Blessing, the Lord was visibly active in the Temple. The Glory of God in the Cloud filled the Temple. Revelation 15 tells us we will see this repeat in The Lord's House in His Kingdom.
And our generation may have been blessed to see what the Lord saw in Creation, or the Cloud in the Temple in the Hubble photos.
Isaiah 43:1
Now thus says the Lord,
He who created you, O Jacob,
He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine."
The Christmas Narration in Luke 1 and 2
is God's Presence on earth
the arrival of God's Gift
His Only Son
Isaiah 43:1
Now thus says the Lord,
He who created you, O Jacob,
He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called You by Name, You are Mine."
“The LORD will provide”),
as it is said to this day,
“On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”
Ascension by Brian Jekel
The clouds look like people in darkness
becoming the people seeing a Great Light
Light of mankind
“By myself I have sworn,
declares the Lord,
because you have done this and have not withheld your son,
Your Only Son
17 I will surely bless you,
and I will surely multiply your offspring
as the stars of heaven and
as the sand that is on the seashore.
And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies,
18 and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because
you have obeyed My Voice.”
Jerusalem and Mount Mariah have seen millenniums of the Works of God. God is still working. Jesus traveled from the Sea of Galilee to Jerusalem, many times. And this is a 30 hour walk. The process we would love, so dearly, to see. Jesus took the time.
Christmas is the time to let go of the conflict and find the still, small voice. The one telling us
"’ereṣ hammôrā’āh", rā’āh "to see" and "the land of vision." These words name the Peace found.
Abba, Father,
I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!
Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound firmly together,
to which the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!
Peace be within your walls
and security within your towers!”
For my brothers and companions' sake
I will say, “Peace be within you!”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.
Dwell in me,
Dwell in us,
Dwell in those we Love,
Help us to seek You first.
And we will finish well, in Jesus Christ.
Help us find and bring
to become
more Heaven
to this earth.
Your Plan, Your way,
Your Son Jesus Christ brings us
Salvation. Only Jesus.
Establish us on Your path,
help keep us near You
and on the path.
Your Wonderful Plan.
You Include All in Your Plan.
Encourage us in Love
Encourage us with Your Joy.
Jesus, teach us to follow You
more closely in Your Word.
We pray for the Peace of Israel.
For those in war, to have lasting and
meaningful Peace.
The Reconciliation of Jesus
and the Unity of
the faith worldwide.
Our God is working. His Son,
Jesus is working.
In Jesus,
Amen.
We pray for a
Time of Healing
for All People
in
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Savior
God's Only Son
