“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:”
David prayed for this peace. There was a brief time of peace during his son Solomon’s reign, but the only time there will be peace in the earthly Jerusalem will be during the Millennium. Then of course later there will be a New Jerusalem with perfect peace.
“Peace be within you.” This is available to all who have the indwellment of the Holy Spirit. “Peace” according to Hebrew Word Pictures is “to destroy the authority that causes chaos”. In other words, to have peace within ourselves, we must destroy any and all authority that Satan may have in our lives.
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!”
Living in unity with brothers and sisters in Christ does not mean we will all agree on everything but we have unity in purpose, unity in Jesus Christ.
Psalm 135 gives a description of idols. Those who worship idols are just like the idols themselves…blind, deaf, and lifeless. Those who worship the Lord then must be just the opposite…eyes open and seeing, ears listening and understanding, and with an abundant life that never ends.
