Why must christians pray for the peace of Jerusalem?

Answer 1

Christians must pray for everyone. Especially Jerusalem and Israel. Jerusalem is God's chosen city. God told Israel I will bless those that bless you, and I will curse those that curse you.

Christ is coming soon. Time to choose sides.

Answer 2

Because there is many conflicts occurred in Jerusalem
Jerusalem is a holy city of 3 religions: Islam, Christian and Judaism.
How often do you read newspaper? everyday?
does your newspaper tell about how suffer the citizens because of war and conflicts? to many peoples killed here.
I hope you can understand why must christians pray for the peace of Jerusalem.. and not only christians but also Muslims and Jewish!

Answer 3

Jerusalem means city/place of peace. Someday it will once again be the Holy Seat on Earth, and the Messiah will "rebuild the Temple" (which is not a physical building anymore but each and every one of us) and rule from there. Christianity and Judaism are universally tied.

Answer 4

Israel doesn’t bother with low-intensity warfare anymore. It goes straight for the jugular. Day after day Israel has launched unprovoked attacks on Palestinian civilians only pausing long enough to assemble the requisite lies to fend off the media.
It’s quite extraordinary. One day they blow up a family peacefully touring in their new car; killing 3 generations with one mighty blast, and then a few days later they fire a mortar round at a beach in Gaza wiping out 7 members of another family. The entire incident in Gaza was captured on video providing a heart-wrenching visual-account of a traumatized 12 year old girl running around while the limp and bloodied bodies of her parents are carted off to the morgue.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s response to the tragedy was astonishingly bland:
”The IDF is the most moral military in the world. There has never been, and there isn’t now, a policy of attacking civilians.”
Once again, Israel has decided to invoke the familiar strategy of “blaming the victim”. Fortunately, forensic evidence has already proved beyond a doubt that the shrapnel came from a “155 millimeter howitzer shell from a land-based Israeli firing device”. On top of that, the last surviving member of the family, 12 year old Huda Ghalia, has provided a lurid description of the Israeli shelling of the beach.
“We were sitting and all of a sudden the shells just started falling on our heads,” she said. What could be clearer?
There’s no doubt that Israel is responsible. Their PR blitz is bound to fail. Never the less, Israel has drawn up 6 “talking points” that will be reiterated by government officials and agents in the media. The public relations campaign focuses on three main themes:
1 Deny everything
2 Blame the victim (Say that Hamas had land-mined the beach)
3 Create the appearance that Israel was just defending itself.

Answer 10

properly, in the beginning, because the scriptures -- the Hebrew element besides -- replaced into written in Israel, you'll actual locate distinctive passages in it praying for or asking for prayers for Israel or Judah. although, i do not quite imagine they prepare to you and me; they were written for a diverse time and position at the same time as the writers fantasized a theocratic monarchy. And the prayers were for sure no longer for present day day Israel. merely to be sparkling: Seraphim Rose knows -- or should understand -- that the textual content she post in this question is patently pretend. One is entitled to at least one's personal opinion, Sera, yet one isn't entitled to invent one's personal info out of total cloth.
