Perath (Farah) Spring in Wadi Qilt

From Jerusalem Perspectives

One of the springs not far off the route to Jerusalem is the Perath spring. This abundant source of water supplied many thirsty travelers in antiquity. The LORD once sent Jeremiah to this spring as one of his object lessons (Jer. 13). Hiding his loincloth in a crevice, Jeremiah returned sometime later to find it completely ruined. In the same way, the LORD intended to bring to ruin the pride of the people of Judah and Jerusalem. A few centuries later, Jesus would weep for those descendants of Jeremiah’s hearers who too rejected the plan of God for them.

Mahx Note:

What is the meaning of Jesus | Yehoshua weeping for Jerusalem? This most moving event has been heard by some with a heart theologically hardened to the Jewish people. If antisemitism is ever to be eradicated from Gentile Christian faith, it will be through the true antidote to antisemitism, which is the weeping of Jesus | Yehoshua for Jerusalem, Yerushalayim the city of God's Presence promised to Israel.

Will it be hidden from her eyes forever? No. For the Good News of Yehoshua is the Good News of the Jews. "Salvation," he said, "is of the Jews." For the time will come when she will repent and receive him unto herself in the name of his Father. Revelation 11:13. Then she also shall be transformed and become the New Jerusalem, the city of those who have gone on before in faith coming down from heaven to meet the children of Jerusalem who embrace Yehoshua HaMashiach upon the earth.
