What is coming Saturday, July 28,2012 ?

Many thanks to Chuck Missler, one of my mentors ( even though he doesn't know it) for his research, which was sourced for this article.:

Tisha B'Av
Tisha b'Av is Hebrew for the 9th day of the month of Av ( by God's calendar)  (man's wayward calendar calls this date July 28th, 2012).

Many disasters have befallen the Jews on the 9th of Av throughout history. According to Jewish tradition, this was the day that God told the Children of Israel they were prohibited from entering the Promised Land because of their  disbelief and resulting disobedience. They were forced to wander in the desert forty more years until that adult generation had died out. That  was just the beginning…

On the 9th of Av in:

• 586 BC, Solomon's Temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, and the Babylonian captivity began;
• AD 70, the Second Temple, which stood during Christ's ministry, was destroyed by the Romans precisely as Jesus predicted in Luke 19;
• AD 135, the famous Bar Kokhba revolt was squelched when Bethar, the last Jewish stronghold, fell to the Romans;
• AD 136, the Roman Emperor Hadrian established a heathen temple to Jupiter on the site of the Jewish Temple. Hadrian rebuilt Jerusalem as a pagan city, and renamed the land as Palestina, to distance its Jewish heritage. The date when the Temple area was plowed under by the Romans was the 9th of Av.

The day continued to be filled with grief for the Jewish people throughout history. Pope Urban II declared the Crusades on the 9th of Av in 1242, resulting in the torture and murder of countless Jews. According to the Alhambra Decree, the Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492 on this day (the same day that Columbus left on his westward route to the Indies - It is believed by many that Columbus sailed to America to find a land of refuge for his Jewish brothers and sisters, there is much physical evidence to indicate that Jews were established in America long before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth).

 On the 9th of Av in 1942, the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto were mass deported to the Treblinka extermination camp in Poland. Thus the 9th of Av, Tisha B'Av, has become a symbol of all the persecutions and misfortunes of the Jewish people, for the loss of their national independence and their sufferings in exile. Above all, it is a day of intense mourning for the destruction of the Temple, which Jews believe brought the Presence of God on earth.

A Day of Mourning.... And Future Joy
Tisha b'Av is marked with sadness and fasting from food and drink.  Observant Jews avoid bathing or washing clothes or participating in  entertainment like music or movies.  On this day the Jews are reminded of their tragic history.

Yet, this day is also expressly linked with Israel's glorious destiny.  The Jews also look forward to the ultimate rebuilding of the Temple, to a time when Tisha b'Av will become a day of joy and gladness (as it was foretold in Zechariah 8:19 - "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth months will become joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts for the house of Judah; so love truth and peace.).

We do know that the Temple will be rebuilt because Jesus, John, and Paul all make reference to it (Matt 24:15; Rev 11:1, 2; 2 Thess 2:4). We also know that a future Temple will be desecrated by the Coming World Leader when he sets himself up to be worshiped (2 Thess 2:3-4 - ...the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.).   From all end-times signs, it is obvious this event will occur in the not-too-distant future, could it be on Tisha B'Av?
