Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
I perused an article this morning unrelated to this text but with an argument that I believe illustrates the point of my visit with the Lord today. The article, published by Answers in Genesis,[1] responded to some criticism they had received from a group known as BioLogos. In a previous piece, AIG accused BioLogos of suffering false teachers. This article sought to justify that accusation by defining what false teaching is. One of the definitions they gave was to claim that one or more of the writers of Scripture was wrong. It stands to reason. A Christian ought to assert that someone claiming that something in the Bible is incorrect teaches falsehood.
Every word of God is pure.
Here’s the connection I want to make with this text, was the Psalmist right or wrong? If every word is pure, then this is the truth. They shall prosper that love Jerusalem. Therefore, supporting anything or anyone who contributes to unrest for the Jews in Jerusalem is unbiblical. To teach Christians to do anything other than love Jerusalem is to teach falsehood.
I stand in support of any movement that tends toward peace in Jerusalem. I am opposed to any administration that contributes to unrest there.
