One of the banners I saw hanging in a church in Israel said "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the L-rd". I began to ponder the meaning of that verse. The full context of that verse is Matthew 23:37-39 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say; Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." These words were spoken by Jesus. At first I believed that He we referring to Himself as one who comes in the name of the Lord, but I do not believe that is what He was saying. He does not have to come in the name of the Lord - He IS the name of the Lord.I believe this is speaking of Jews accepting Christians. One of the definitions of the word "Lord" is "Messiah". Christians not only come in His name, but are called by the name of Messiah - "Christ". They were first called Christians in Antioch according to the scripture. I believe that He cannot return until the Jews proclaim a blessing over the Christians.
In this present day of so much renewed hate of Jews and Israel, it is the Christians that are standing with them. I believe it is a very prophetic hour of solidarity that will usher in the acceptance, the blessing, and the unity of both faiths. This will put into motion the opening of the door for the Messiah, Jesus, to return.
Come quickly Lord Jesus.
