Shalom brothers and sisters,

There is a very dark day on our doorstep. In our calendar, it lands on Saturday this week.  In the Hebrew calendar, it’s the 9th Av - a day dreaded among the Jews.

The 9th Av (Tisha B’Av) has become the anniversary of several big disasters which all hit on, or very close to, that specific day.  Strangely, there is no reason for this detailed in Scripture to explain why - although the Sages have theories.  Nevertheless, when Tisha B’Av rolls around each year, the Jews mourn for the past and prepare themselves for the worse.

Take a look at some of the events that occurred on, or very close to, Tisha B'Av:

  1. Israel cowardly refused to enter the Promised Land under Moses and were subsequently designated to die in the wilderness.
  2. The First Temple built by King Solomon was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 BC.
  3. The Second Temple built by Ezra and Nehemiah was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
  4. The Romans subsequently crushed Bar Kokhba's revolt and destroyed the city of Betar, killing approximately 580,000 Jewish civilians, and plowed the site of the Temple in 135 AD.
  5. The First Crusade officially commenced on August 15 1096, killing 10,000 Jews in its first month and destroying Jewish communities in France and the Rhineland. 
  6. The Jews were expelled from England on July 18, 1290.
  7. The Jews were expelled from France on July 22, 1306.
  8. The Jews were expelled from Spain on July 31, 1492.
  9. Germany entered World War I on August 1–2, 1914, which caused massive upheaval in European Jewry and whose aftermath led to the Holocaust.
  10. On August 2, 1941, SS commander Heinrich Himmler formally received approval from the Nazi Party for "The Final Solution." As a result, the Holocaust began during which almost one third of the world's Jewish population perished.
  11. On July 23, 1942, began the mass deportation of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto, en route to Treblinka.
  12. The AMIA bombing, of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, killed 85 and injured 300 on July 18, 1994.
  13. The Israeli disengagement from Gaza began in the Gaza Strip, expelling 8000 Jews who lived in Gush Katif; August 15, 2005.

A very strange and interesting topic in Jewish History.  It seemed timely to share it with all who may not know about it, seeing as it’s just around the corner! 

Hopefully, the news will be quiet this year on Saturday, Yahweh willing.

Love & Shalom

Just a sidenote, of something I'm seeing prophetically.  It was in 1979 that the "Iranian" hostage crisis began ... leading to the rise of the Ayatollah Khamenei.  With the "capture" of the oil tankers ... we're entering a 40 year cycle.  The fast of Tammuz which begins 3 weeks prior, with the breaching of the walls before Jerusalem fell ... this was nearly on the same day as the first tanker was seized.  

Just something to ponder ...

I am just waiting for the other shoe to fall. There is many a foolish action now stirring the pot by countries and administrations that have not learned much from history. I wait with bated breath...

Sorry they are a collection of dates widely spread through history with a very thin thread that collnects them and that is Jews. There is no pattern no comonality.

It is just supersition. If there review of their lives and actions brings anyone into a saving relationship with Jesus it has some purpose otherwise it is supersition.

Remember that the Jewish Calendar is based on the lunar calendar, and each of these dates on the "Gregorian" calendar based on the solar cycle will be different than the lunar calendar.  This is why Passover, Sukkot, etc are different times each year.  So the dates are all on the 9th of Av on the Jewish calendar.  This is why its significant.  :)

If you dont believe that means something let me show you a very amazing connection about Abraham and Israel's independence which is not just a coincidence.

And.

If one looks for coincidence then one will find them.

Do you think God is interested in a secular, read atheistic, society?

Salvation for Jew and gentile is only through Jesus.

God may well be honouring his promises to abraham, but those promises are also conditional that Israel keeps the covernant.

Is Israel keeping the covernant? I don't think so. So all Israel can expect is judgement for not keeping the covernant.

"All Israel" is a curious thing to say because Saul (St. Paul) calls 'all Israel a theological thing' when he says "all Israel will be saved".

Do not for one moment consider that the Lord High God has forgotten His Covenants. He is also well aware of times and seasons and keeps weather eyes on all the world and His Heavenly Hosts all the time.

He will take His (Hosea) 'no people' and amalgamate all of His people (Israeli, non-Israeli) into One Israel at the end of the age.

Do not be quick to judge Israel. That is God's job and as Revelations shows us, is going on right now and has been for a very long time and will be into the future. God's Throne Room (Court) is not in our time and space but is Heavenly.
