Restoring the City of David

Posted: Sat 6th March 2010 10.15 AM  | Author: IFI

The mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, proposed a plan that would help restore the City of David, which is the oldest part of Jerusalem.

The plan called for building new apartment buildings for Jews and Arabs who live there as well as building a new park.

The world immediately condemned this plan saying that Israel was trying to occupy Palestinian East Jerusalem.

From international pressure, PM Netanyahu asked the mayor to put the plan on hold. The world does not see Israel's presence in East Jerusalem as legitimate even though "East" Jerusalem is biblical Jerusalem whose historical Jewish presence is well documented.

Prayer points:

• Thank you Lord that this city is one and that You see it as united.

• Reveal the truth of the situation in contrast to what is being concocted in the media.

• Overrule this international intimidation and give the mayor Nir Barkat strength to move forward.

• Hold Netanyahu to the truth of Your Word so that he would release this work to go forward.

• Help PM Netanyahu carry out those things that he has said in the past about Jerusalem being restored and built up.

• Bring a desire in the Israeli public to see Jerusalem stay united and rebuilt.

• Bring to nothing the plan to rewrite history which seeks to blot out the legitimacy of a Jewish presence in East Jerusalem.

• Fulfill Your purposes for this part of the city.
