"The Lord Answered the Prayers" ✡ Join a New Prayer Group!

David built an altar there to the Lord, and he offered elevation-offerings and peace-offerings. The Lord then answered the prayers of the Land and the pestilence ceased from Israel. II SAMUEL (24:25)   וַיִּבֶן שָׁם דָּוִד מִזְבֵּחַ לַי-הֹוָה וַיַּעַל עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים וַיֵּעָתֵר יְ-הֹוָה לָאָרֶץ וַתֵּעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָה מֵעַל יִשְׂרָאֵל שמאול ב כד:כה va-yi-ben sham da-vid miz-bay-akh la-a-do-nai va-ya-al o-lot u-sh'-la-meem va-yay-a-tayr a-do-nai la-a-retz va-tay-a-tzar ha-ma-gay-fa may-al yis-ra-ayl

Today's Israel Inspiration The offerings described throughout Scripture are often hard to relate to in our modern times, but the Hebrew word for sacrifice sheds light into their deeper significance. The Hebrew word for sacrifice is קרבן / kor-BON which has at its root,  ק-ר-ב meaning, ‘to come close.’ Sacrifices were meant to bring people closer to the Eternal One. Now that we no longer have sacrifices, it is prayer through which we can connect and come close to our Father in Heaven.   Join a New Prayer Group » 8 Nights of Light With over 2 million views and a White House performance, this upbeat music video by the Maccabeats will really get you into the Hanukkah spirit!   Watch here » 200 Countries Unite to Pray for Jerusalem Prayer gatherings were recently held across the globe in over 200 countries as part of the Peace and Safety of Jerusalem and Israel initiative.   Read more » Beautiful Menorah for 25% Off!
