    I just got back from Jerusalem... my 1st visit, few days ago. The bus played this beautiful song as we entered it during the night but too dark to see...it was only the next morning as the bus drove towards Mt of Olives & I turned my eyes to the right that my heart leapt with such indescribable tearful joy when I saw for the 1st time this beloved city & Kidron valley...it was like finally coming home to a place I had only known in Scriptures & pictures...if earthly Jerusalem where my Lord & Saviour Yeshua will return to soon, can bring out such emotions, how much more the New Jerusalem!!

    Way back a number of years ago when I was still a kid in junior high school, our junior choir sang "The Holy City." At this time in my life I had little or no understanding of just what the words and message of this song expressed. As I continued to grow and mature in better understanding the message of Christ's crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and His coming again, the Holy City so well expresses the proclamation and description of just what God has in store for all of us. No matter how often I hear the singing of this beautiful message, I am literally moved to tears. These words of promise and hope constantly resonate and reinforce the certainty of His coming again. What a message, what a promise - - Hosanna for evermore!

      I am the same. The more i hear this classic hymn, the more i loved it. Its all the hope of all to be with their God n God to be with us in the new Jerusalem for ever n ever. What a blessed hope we have. Hosana in the highest will be in our mouths throughout eternity. Hallelujiah. Amen.

    I'm not a Christian ! My heritage is Jewish and I'm a Pantheist by choice. However, I have a prayer request for you who are Christians. Please pray for the IDF. That they may be successful in their fight against the most evil force that has even been brought against the nation of Israel since Nazi Europe.

    If you never get to visit the old Jerusalem that is physically located in Israel, please make your calling and election sure to the New Jerusalem that is coming down out of heaven from God's throne.

    Last night I lay a-sleeping, there came a dream so fair
    I stood in old Jerusalem beside the temple there
    I heard the children singing and ever as they sang
    me thought the voice of angels from heaven in answer rang
    me thought the voice of angels from heaven in answer rang
    Jerusalem, Jerusalem, lift up your gates and sing
    Hosannah, in the highest, hosannah to the king.
    And then me thought my dream was changed the streets no longer rang
    Hushed were the glad hosannahs the little children sang
    the sun grew dark with mystery, the morn was cold and chill
    as the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill
    as the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill
    Jerusalem, Jerusalem, lift up your gates and sing
    Hosannah, in the highest, hosannah to the king.
    And once again the scene was changed, new earth there seemed to be
    I saw the Holy City beside the tideless sea
    the light of God was on its streets
    The gates were opened wide,
    and all who would might enter,and no one was denied.
    No need of moon or stars by night, nor sun to shine by day
    it was a new Jerusalem that would not pass away.
    It was a new Jerusalem that would not pass away
    Jerusalem, Jerusalem, lift up your gates and sing
    Hosannah, in the highest, hosannah to the king

    Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have the right to come to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. 15 Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie. - end of Revelation

  • @RandallvanOosten-ln5wf
    @RandallvanOosten-ln5wf Місяць тому

    This is such a truly sublime hymn/song which takes one through the Triumphal Entry to the Cross of Calvary and, finally, to the victory of God as His New Jerusalem comes down from heaven. However, the second movement from the jubilant cries of Hosanna to the dark, lonely, and cold cross utterly melts my heart. It is at that moment that the words of the Apostle John, "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son" become a powerful reality for me On a lonely hill, Christ died for us. No other religion makes such a startling and, yet, profound claim.

    It is somewhat difficult to understand that the New Jerusalem will be on this Earth, but the Bible tells us exactly where it is going to be located in Zechariah 14: 4, 5. Revelation 21: 16, even tells us the size it will be. I get really excited when I think of what God has prepared for those who love Him. So let us do all we possibly can and hope by His grace we will be among the Redeemed.

    I Have listened Many versions of this Classical Holy City and Have always Come Back to listening this particular Artist : But then as the Camera was panning over the City of Jerusalem I focused My eyes upon the Domed Building which of Course is the Rock {a Muslim Mosque } and Knowing the History on how it was Planted there Brought me to Recalling on how and why it was Put there ! A certain religion of which Occupied Rome Had wanted to Place their Headquarters within Jerusalem But Jerusalem put up a fight against the Roman Empire and Because Rome was loosing too many Soldiers against Israel Someone from this Church was able to Have this Mohammed from Arabia to Build up and army to Fight on behalf of the Roman Church where he would receive Much wealth : Israel finally was defeated by the Army of Mohammed and when it came to Mohammed being Paid for his winning ! Rome was to congratulate him on a Job well done and was ready to hand over the Money Mohammed Realised that there was a potential in making Billions Rather than a few Millions; He told the Roman empire to stuff their Money where He now having Israel surrender He had the Rock Mosque Built : Israel was placed under the control of a Muslim Leader? Now Bible Prophecy states that Israel will one day Be able to rid themselves of this Church and to rebuild Solomon's Temple Back to its Glory This Song Jerusalem For Me one day I Believe that G-d will have Favour upon the Jews where Once again they will have victory and be able to rule without Termites eating their way through the Congress of Israel May their G-d Grant them a Speedy victory
