“and Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.”
Genesis 31:49 KJV
Laban called it Witness Heap and Watchpost, for he declared, “May Yahweh keep His eyes on us when we are absent from each other..”. Mizpah means Watchpost, or the one who looks out for our peace. Jesus is our Mizpah. Our reconciling “Peace” is Jesus! He has made Jew and non-Jew one in Christ. By dying as our sacrifice, He has broken down every wall of prejudice that separated us and has now made us equal through our union with Christ. Jacob, the father of Israelites, and Laban, a Gentile, find peace at Mizpah. The sacrifice of Jesus is for all humanity, whether Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Sikh, Parsi, Jain, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, Secular, Animist, Tribal - every wall of separation has been removed to unite us to Almighty God, through Christ Jesus. Amen!
