...................................................................

Israel  and the Jewish people are precious in God's sight , and so is Jerusalem.  

Jerusalem is the only capital that Israel has ever had over her long and recorded history.  In acknowledgement of the importance of Jerusalem to the Jewish people , to God and to the existence of the Jewish State of Israel , the governing body of Israel , called the Knesset , named Jerusalem as their capital on December 13 , 1949.

For those who are unaware of just how important the Jewish people ,

Jerusalem and the nation of Israel are to God , and to the whole Earth -

I implore you to study the Bible from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation.

Upon reading and studying the Bible , you will discover that

Israel's  Jerusalem was , is and will always be , an integral

part of the fulfilling of God's plans in the Earth .

Jerusalem means the City of Peace.

When God comes to reign on the Earth , forever , it will be 

done from His Eternal City that He built , and that city is called the New Jerusalem.

He has made it for His glory and for those who love Him , eternally.

His peace will reign for all time from that place , and to that we all need to proclaim ,

" Amen ! ".

 " But I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel."

Matthew 5

34 " But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;   

35 or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. "

Revelation 3 : 12 mentions the New Jerusalem , but please feel free to read the

whole chapter !

The Number 13 Series : November 13

     To many , the number thirteen ( 13 )  has plenty of negative 

connotations , but here , on BIBLE PAGES , we're going to enjoy 

the number thirteen from a better perspective.   👍

    From HISTORY , November 13 certainly has a variety of good and

bad events , but two positive dates include : [ wiki sourced info ]

1956 - SCOTUS declared Alabama's bus segregation to be illegal.

 Racial hatred has no place in a clean heart.

If you are dealing with racial hatred , then please ask God for

forgiveness , and for Him to fill your heart with His love and grace.

He will forgive you and move many mountains for you , and for 

others , too.  God bless you as you pursue a pure heart !

 

 Matthew 7:12
" In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. 

For this is the essence of the Law and the prophets."

Romans 13:8
" Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love, for he who loves 

his neighbor has fulfilled the Law."

Romans 13:10
" Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment 

of the Law. "

1982 - The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated.

To our military personnel and families , our nation owes them 

a debt and full respect , irregardless of one's opinions of  their 

assignments at that time . Our nation tried to save South Vietnam 

from the very anti-freedom ways of Communism ; and even though 

South Vietnam fell to Communist North Vietnam anyway  -  

for numerous reasons - our major objective was noble . 

Those who lost their lives due to that war , they should not be

forgotten , be they civilian or military. And neither should we 

forget the mistakes made during that era that allowed the fall

to happen. Communism is always worthy of our best fight against it !

.......................................................................................

Switching over to another topic , each month - and sometimes 

on specific days - there are food themes that have been established .

For the second week of November ( November 13 , 2020 ),

SPLIT PEA SOUP is the theme.  God blessed us with the

very healthful vegetable called the Pea , so if you can find a

way to enjoy peas in your diet , it will be an investment in your health !

 Investigate this informative page from Wikipedia about Peas ,

which includes a nutrition chart , pictures of the peas , flowers 

and even art work ; plus it has some international information related 

to God's produce, also.  Enjoy !
