all will soon be dealt with by the

Lord Jesus Christ, the True Messiah

of Israel that shall come the second

time to deliver the repentant host that

were not killed in the Muslim,

Antichrist’s, United Nations and

United States war against them.

Allah is not the god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

He or it is the god of the heathen masses that know not Israel’s Jehovah Who often used the term

And now for a note about TISHA B’AV.

a.

Except for the principles of grieving and God’s mercy that Lamentations contain, the book is much more for the Jews than for the Gentiles.

b.

It is hard for us to appreciate what it is like to be a nation dispersed among the nations and whose homeland lies in desolation.

c.

To know this is to understand why, among the Jews, the Book of Lamentations has a special place in the summer when they remember the loss of the first and second temples.

1)

It is during this time that Lamentations has an annual reading.

2)

This day of remembrance is known as TISHA B’AV or in English the 9th of Av.

3)

Consider two passages that some would call proof that the Bible cannot be accepted as truth because they seem to be contradictory statements about the same event and then look at a more than reasonable explanation for the difference in the two passages. The difference lies in the day of the month and not in the month of the year. Notice the tenth day of Jeremiah 52:12-13 and the seventh day of Second Kings 25:8.

a)

Jeremiah 52:12-13 identifies the tenth day of the fifth month as the day that Jerusalem and Solomon's temple were torn down and burned.
