The Revolutionary Guard announced that “The zionists must await our response to their crime”. Then Iranian media announced that Chief Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, stated that Israel should prepare for a “lethal lightning strike.” (Jerusalem Post) It is also reported that Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran are preparing to attack Israel.

Psalm 122

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
