Is it sin to not support modern Israel and not pray for the peace of Jerusalem now like the Zionist would have you believe?  Or is there more to Psalm 122 which the Zionist shills on Christian radio, television, and in the pulpits are covering up when they quote Psalm 122:6 and parrot: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem”?  There is indeed more.  

The command to pray for the peace of Jerusalem was given when God’s worship was centered there and His Temple (His house) stood there.  That is the entire basis for the command given in Psalm 122:6.  Look at how Psalm 122 proceeds after the often used out of context verse 6.

Psalm 122:6-9: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.  Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.  For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.  Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.”

If you didn’t know, the Temple at Jerusalem was destroyed not once but twice.  The first time by the Babylonians in the sixth century BC; and the second time by the Romans in AD 70.  The Temple has never been rebuilt.  

Jesus even made it clear in the Gospels that earthly Jerusalem’s last opportunity to remain in God’s favor would be lost when it rejected Him.  He even made it clear that His presence would be taken away from the city through its rejection of Him as the Messiah (see Matthew 23:37-39 and Luke 19:41-44).  Remember also that He is called “The Prince of Peace” in Isaiah 9:6.

He forsook the earthly Temple at Jerusalem- and it is now gone.  Don’t pray for the peace of earthly Jerusalem now then lest you oppose Christ by justifying Jerusalem’s rejection of Him.

Consider that when Jerusalem was about to be judged for its wickedness through the Babylonians, the Prophet Jeremiah was told by God that His peace was taken from Jerusalem’s people.  

Jeremiah was even expressly warned not to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.   

Jeremiah 7:16: “Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.”

Jeremiah 16:5: ‘For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, even lovingkindness and mercies.”

Psalm 122:6 had already been written in Jeremiah’s time.  Do you really think that the Lord was in any way commanding Jeremiah to go against His Word (when His Word is rightly divided and properly applied)?

There are thousands of large cities in the world now.  No other currently existing city is precisely rebuked as harshly nor blatantly described so negatively in the Bible like Jerusalem in its rejection of Jesus is.  

In Revelation 11:8 Jerusalem is labelled as “the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.”
