There are a few Papuan churches here fasting and praying for the nation Israel during this time of Middle Eastern conflict.
I find this troubling due to some eschatological hopes they have and their lack of prayer for the victims on all sides.
They often quote OT passages about the peace of Sion or praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
Can you help me line up some NT verses next to these OT passages to show that these petitions are made, not for a political nation-state but for the People of God or the Church?
..very irritating....
