On the 61st Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz - the Holocaust Remembered and a Call to Prayer for Israel

Aimee Herd reporting : Jan 27, 2006  AP, FOXNews, Crosswalk.com

As European leaders gathered in Warsaw, Poland to commemorate the liberation of the Nazi death camp Auschwitz, thoughts turn to the appalling remarks of Iran's president and the recent electoral victory of Hamas.

Auschwitz Sixty-one years ago, Soviet troops marched onto the sickening grounds of the death camp Auschwitz, setting those who had endured unspeakable atrocities free from their captors. About 1.5 million people, most Jews, did not survive but succumbed to death by gassing, starvation and disease. As other camps were also liberated, the unreal horrors of the holocaust became reality to the public and the staggering truth of six million Jews murdered by Hitler's regime was exposed. Certainly it was a time to pray for God's people.

Today, Israel is still in need of prayer as some deny that the Holocaust even happened, and constant friction and violence with Palestinian radicals continues. This week the known terrorist organization Hamas used democracy to gain a foothold, winning the Palestinian election against the Fatah party which was attempting to pursue more peaceful negotiations with Israel. Will Hamas abandon their previously stated agenda of "wiping Israel off the map?" Or will this election prove to be the beginning of an even bigger conflict in the Middle East? Certainly it is still a time to be praying for God's people; Israel.

The past and present conflicts Israel has had, and is currently going through, can sometimes make it seem overwhelming when praying for them. But still, we are exhorted in the Psalms to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem." This peace, this "shalom" means much more in the Hebrew than in English vernacular. It connotes *completeness, well being, wholeness of life or body, harmony and right relationship between two parties or between a person and God. (*Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology-Baker Book House Co.)

With this in mind we can pray for God's "shalom" which passes understanding and for a revelation of the true Messiah; Who will bring that peace to Israel.
