BEHIND THE SONG -
For a few years now, I’ve had my phone set for 12:26pm to remind me to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I pause for a moment, and offer a whole-hearted prayer, “Father, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May blinded eyes see, deaf ears be opened, and hearts of stone be replaced with hearts of flesh, beginning with my own.” Then I pray for a few friends by name, as they come to mind that day.
I’ve always believed God’s words to Abraham in Genesis 12, spoken later to Isaac and Jacob, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse…” I took those words seriously when I first read them, and started by praying blessing over Israel, especially the peace of the city David mentioned.
Even Jesus wept over the city for deep love of the people in it.
Does this mean we shouldn’t pray for Gaza and Tehran? Glasgow and Tampa?
Of course we can, and should, pray for all cities, and all peoples. But, Psalm 122 tells us to pray specifically for Jerusalem.
In Ezekiel 5:5, the Sovereign Lord says, “This is Jerusalem which I have set in the center of the nations with countries all around her.” The prophet Isaiah said, “Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem, I cannot remain silent. I will not stop praying for her until her righteousness shines like the dawn, and her salvation blazes like a burning torch.” (Isaiah 62:1)
So, I’ve been praying for Jerusalem for a long time. In August of 2023, I began to sing a pleasant little tune about praying for Jerusalem.
But, on October 7th of 2023, when Israel was savagely attacked and rocket sirens began to sound throughout the City of Peace, the melody of my heart changed to a minor key. I cried out to God, driving home from the airport, “May the Guardian of Israel arise! May His chariots of fire fill the skies!” I thought of my best friend’s daughter serving in the Israeli Defense Forces and remembered Psalm 121:7 “The LORD will protect you from all evil. He will guard your life.” I pray that over Emma. I thought of my friends Chaim and Hananya being called up to service… “For the sake of my brothers and friends, I now say, “Shalom be with you.”
I knew this song had to be recorded as soon as possible, and only with the brilliant help of my dear friends, was I able to launch this song within 8 days of writing it. Gideon and his wife Josée recorded all the strings in one afternoon off at home…Sam and Yaakov were tireless and they all felt the same weight of importance that I did. Sam even designed the gorgeous album cover! Bob Boyd, my long time Mastering Engineer, cleared his day to provide the final product practically immediately. I’m deeply deeply grateful to work with such beautiful people.
I believe that ultimate peace in the Middle East, and the world, will only be ushered in by the Prince of Peace, the Messiah. (As the old Jewish joke goes, when Messiah comes, we can ask Him, “Is this Your first time, or Your second time?”)
Until that day comes, Jewish and Christian alike, we are charged to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Shalom Shalom
Aaron

(How long, O LORD, how long?) = TheSourceOfCreation and in English or Simple Gematria: TheGuardianOfJerusalem = GodOfManifestation = ChristInMajesty. Love Is The Sword Of Truth 🗡️ and the The Dove 🕊️ is the metaphorical symbol of Love. Gods Blessings 🙏🏼
Beautiful song Aaron Shust. Yes we pray for Jerusalem and all Israel
Ja, für Israel, Jesrusalem,die betroffenen Menschen im Gazastreifen, den angrenzenden Ländern und alle Menschen dieser Welt und unserer Erde.
Jeder Mensch darf an den Gott glauben, den er für sich aussuchte - auch wenn es nur einen Gott gibt - der uns doch alle beschützt, führt und leitet.
Danke für den emotionalen Song. Wacht auf, Menschen unserer Erde.
אנחנו אוהבים אותך ותומכים בך ומתפללים בשבילך! האם ידעת שישעיהו 53 מראה שישוע הוא המשיח? ישוע הוא בנו של אלוהים והוא אלוהים. ישוע מת על חטאינו, נקבר וקם שוב כדי שלכל המאמינים בישוע יהיו חיי נצח בגן עדן. האמינו בישוע המשיח לחיי נצח! ג'ון 3:17 🫂
❤AMEIN.❤🕊🙏

Here to comment on Zion. I'm an Italian Roman Catholic, always been told Ebrews are my senior brothers and, even if I believe in the Trinity of Jesus Christ, I'll always stand for Israel and its sacred right to its Land. Gave not by humans, but directly by God to the Ebrews. Bring them home. Zion being one of the most beautiful songs I've heard. God Bless You.
Aaron, this is a stellar prayer/song from the heart of all YHVH’S people. Thank you!
