THE 9TH OF AV IN UPON US

Everything in this world revolves around Israel at this time, and a date is now imminent that has had great impact on Israel in past history.  That date in the Hebrew Calendar is the 9th of Av, which, depending on how that date is translated to the present will be August 12th-14th of this year.  The reason this date is so significant, particularly given today’s world events, is that it portends very bad things happening to Israel.  For example, both temples in Jerusalem were destroyed on that date.  There are many other examples, so the Israelis take that date very seriously.

In a previous e-mail, I pointed out that Israel’s Muslim enemies, specifically Iran, like to attack Israel on holidays like the Sabbath — Saturday.  Two Saturday Sabbaths have now passed (as of today) without the promised attack by Iran, which tells me they will attack Israel on the 9th of Av, which is imminent.  Not only is Israel concerned, but this time, we in the USA should be concerned because we are Israel’s closest and most important ally.

There are already huge cracks appearing in our economy.  We just saw the Dow drop over 1,000 points in one day, but the latest banking report issued by the Federal Reserve reveals many American banks are about to collapse due to their loans on commercial property.  Nationally, office buildings in the USA are 40% vacant, which means the owners will not be able to make their scheduled payments on their loans, and that spells imminent bank failures, especially the smaller, regional banks.  We know that the USA is not a player in end-times Bible prophesy, which means that either the USA will be unwilling, or more likely unable, to come to Israel’s aid when the final Battle of Armageddon occurs.  That battle set-up has not occurred quite yet, although the major anti-Israel players like Iran, Russia and Turkey are definitely setting that stage.  Israel is in their crosshairs after Hamas leader Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran.  If Iran and its proxies do attack Israel again, the USA and several other nations will defend Israel – or at least that is what we’re being told.

Whatever happens on the 9th of Av this time will affect us all, if not the entire world.

Be prepared.
