God Has Chosen Jerusalem – It’s Time We Do
the Same
REV.CHERYL L. HAUER/BRIDGES
FOR PEACE
2017 marks the 50th
anniversary of the reunification of the remarkable city of Jerusalem, and
celebrations will abound in Israel and around the world.
We hope you will join us as
we celebrate! It is a unique moment in history, just as Jerusalem is unique
among all the cities of the world.
The very name evokes an
emotional response. It is God's city, His holy mountain! He chose it for His
earthly dwelling place, and those who love Him are drawn to His home.
"Great
is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in His holy
mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on
the sides of the north, the city of the great King" (Psalm
48:1-2).
As
believers, when we think of the LORD our King and the fact that He chose
Jerusalem as His habitation, perhaps we can begin to recognize the eternal
importance of this incredible place.
Millions visit the city
every year, many coming to seek the face of God in His holy habitation.
Others
come with a different heart.
Historically, many have
sought to destroy this city that God claims as His own and others continue in
their determination to divide it. They may not realize it, but those who
conspire against this place make themselves opponents of the LORD of the
universe.
There is a spiritual war
over Jerusalem as the forces of the enemy would destroy that which God holds so
dear. That same war is also experienced in the natural realm.
During its long history,
Jerusalem has been attacked 52 times, captured and recaptured 44 times,
besieged 23 times and destroyed twice.
During the 1948 war for
Israel's independence, Jerusalem was again attacked and torn apart. The
Jordanians occupied half the city until the Six-Day War in 1967, when it was
miraculously restored to the Jewish people.
What a glorious day it was
when the city God chose to be Israel's eternal and undivided capital was
reunited and once again under Jewish sovereignty!
At
Bridges for Peace, we are sponsoring a worldwide celebration to rejoice with
those who rejoice over Jerusalem!
You can be part of this
celebration without ever leaving home, and we will help to provide resources
and ideas to make your Jerusalem party a success.
Everything is free, and if
you host or attend a party, you might even win a free trip to visit this
incredible place.
But most important, your
voice will join with others around the world, declaring into the heavens that
this city is indeed God's city and the eternal and undivided capital of the
State of Israel.
Imagine
the incredible spiritual power that will be unleashed when thousands or even
millions of Christians around the world all join together to praise and honor
Jerusalem within the same two-week period!

What a blessing you will be to the God who claims Jerusalem as His own!
