Psalm 129 Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion's Enemies A Song of Ascents
These verses can perhaps be extended just a bit. Remember that there are two quotes from Jesus, one saying that if the people in question are not against Him, they are for Him. The other says if the people in question are not for Him, they are against Him. Add to that, the Revelation admonition about being lukewarm. Believing Jews absolutely and passionately love Zion. Jerusalem takes on an iconic existence in their minds and hearts. It's not magical, but a supernatural gift given by Father that we should fall in love with the city that He has chosen. We don't have to understand it. It's not enough, in my opinion, to simply not "hate Zion". God wants us to love what He loves just as Christians are to love the unlovely and the unsaved and the sinner, just as He loves them. Instilling that love of Israel/Jerusalem/Zion is a difficult thing. We cannot build that house, either. We can pray and share, but God really plants the seeds of love and grows them. Sometimes through divine appointments, we get to be a messenger or a waterer. |
