"In truth, only desperate people pray.
When the Israelites were exiled to Babylon, they were
commanded to seek the welfare of this pagan city and to “pray to the Lord” for
its people (Jeremiah 29:7). They were to pray for their cruel captors whose
armies captured Jerusalem, killed many Jews, and for sport threw Jewish babies
against the rocks.
Let me say it again: they were to pray for their enemies! To
pray for their oppressors! They were to pray for the people who worshiped dumb
idols that allowed the population to participate in sexual orgies. The Jews
found themselves where we are in America today—a minority in the midst of a
majority pagan culture."
