If you aspire to prosper and embrace prosperity, consider it your duty to offer prayers for the peace of Jerusalem. This is a practice rooted in the Bible, as indicated in Psalm 122:6. As a student of Eschatology (End Times), I know that it is Christ that will ultimately bring about an enduring peace in that region but before that time comes, we should ensure we keep praying and working for peace of Jerusalem and Isreal as a country.

Furthermore, our love and support should extend to the Jewish people. Not only did Christ come from among them, but we can also glean valuable insights from their creativity and entrepreneurship. Their remarkable ability to accumulate personal wealth and success holds numerous secrets that we can learn from. It’s astonishing that despite constituting less than 0.2% of the world’s population, approximately 25% of the world’s billionaires are of Jewish descent. Additionally, 22% of Nobel Prize laureates have been Jewish.
