Dear Doves,
 
I am slow in updating you since we were welcoming into our family our new daughter on August 4th. She came early and we were not as prepared as we would have liked.
 
I updated the diagram to show the significance of the entire war with the "Days of Summer". No big event occurred on the 9th of Av, but each day on the diagram has some significance in showing that this current war is important and according to schedule. The 9th of Av was the bloodiest day up until that time. That it included 12 Israelis (8 soldiers and 4 civilians) which seemed to show the significance of 12 on this day. That God did not allow further destruction on this day of sorrow for the Jews seems to be in line with the fact that God's purpose for this war is not judgment upon their nation. Since I believe this is the stage being set for Ezekiel 38-39 and Psalm 83, then this war will actually lead to severe judgment upon the nations who attack or do not help Israel. Three plus years ago I wrote in my book that Gog-Magog would probably occur in the fall of 2006 and end in the spring of 2007. It seems that everything is on course. This war is our warning.
 
I also want to thank those who post the leads to good articles concerning what is happening so fast in the Middle East.
 
In Christ,
Daniel Matson
