Hello John and Doves,
Add the Ukraine-Russia war
developments of last week (see my other Doves letter today
on this) to this news coming out of the Middle East - also
last week.
On the Jewish calendar, the Nine
Days of Av started July 19 right about the time the big
things started happening with Russia/Ukraine-Russia
war. And now this development with the U.S. in
response to 'threatening actions' by Iran. The Nine
Days end on Tishah B'Av - the 9th of Av, July 26/27.
I see this as a Woe is me,
time! Could this nine day period end with the
Rapture (July 26/27 Feast of New
Wine/Shavuot/Pentecost)? I think of Micah who writes
about going out to pick grapes/figs but the harvest has
taken them. The faithful, the good people have
vanished from the land...and the day of your watchman has
come; now is the time of confusion/panic. The Jewish
people are left in a world of evil people, that are out
for blood and can't be trusted. Has the Rapture
happened? Woe, indeed!
I really didn't expect to see
'much going on' during these Nine Days - but WOW!
Things are moving fast.
This article is dated July
21, 2023:
"The U.S. is deploying more
aircraft, ships and troops to the Middle East to bolster
security in the region amid a rise in threatening actions
by Iranian forces, the Pentagon announced Thursday.
This is what Israel is looking
at to the North -
Turkish forces are lined up on
the border across from Russian and Iranian forces in
northwestern Syria.
We can see how close the
Russian and Iranian forces are to Israel's northern
border.
Iranian forces make up the
most 'points' on this map - with almost all on the
western side of Syria. Syria is an absolute mess
of foreign military sites. Wow!
July 26/27 - the 9th day of Av
is coming this week - Wednesday/Thursday. Will
something big happen this year?
"The 9th of Av, Tisha B'Av,
commemorates a list of catastrophes so severe it's
clearly a day set aside by G-d for suffering." The
spies returned with a bad report. Both Holy
Temples were destroyed. The battle at Betar was
lost. The Romans plowed the Beit Hamikdash.
The Jews were expelled from England. The
Jews were banished from Spain. Both World Wars
began.

Happened on the Ninth of Av? - Chabad.org
The day the Rapture takes place
would be another catastrophe for Israel!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
