Jerusalem's Good

Psalms 122:9 KJV
Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

People might have any number of reasons to support Israel as a people:
  • Their ancient and biblical heritage
  • Their historical and notable suffering
  • Their interest in alliance with America
The Psalmist says he has but one reason to pray for the peace of Jerusalem; because of the house of the Lord.

The house of The Lord has been moved since these words were penned. It no longer resides in a building in Jerusalem. God has moved from that place to the local church congregation. But this move in no way changes a believer's relationship with Jerusalem. It is
  • Because of our faith
  • Because of the Word of God
  • Because of what we learn when we are in the house of the Lord

that we, who are the most earnest believers, seek the good of Israel
