Annually on Av 9 (Month 5, Day 9) some people remember with fasting and sorrow, the destruction of the 2 Great Temples at Jerusalem of Solomon's Temple and Herod's Temple. These temples made of stones by human hands ARE NO MORE. The Scriptures inform us that there is A CURRENT TEMPLE of great consequence. Very eternally important. This temple is composed of the individual followers of Abba Father and the Messiah of Israel. The redeemed: their family, body and bride.

1 Corinthians 3:16 "Don't you realize that all of you together are the temple of Elohim and that the Ruach Elohim dwells among you?"

1 Peter 2:25 "And you are living stones that Elohim is building into his spiritual temple."

When did this Great Temple 3 of people, not stones, begin? It was when the Ruach, the Spirit of Truth, was sent to indwell the believers. Must the Rapture, the Resurrection, happen on an Anniversary Day of Shavuot? Or 50 days later on a Feast of New Wine? Or possibly on a day of remembrance of Solomon's Temple and Herod's Temple? On Av 9? WHEN will this current temple change status and BE TRANSFORMED? On The Great Day, The Great Temple 3 will be NO MORE. The believers, among the quick and the dead, will receive new bodies and be transported to the New Jerusalem. Then, people will want the 3rd Great Temple at Jerusalem. A 3rd Great Temple of stones, made by human hands.

The 4 fast days described in Zechariah 8 are promised to become days of joy and rejoicing. In annual anniversaries they are in the following order: Tammuz 17, Av 9, Yom Kippur, and Tevet 10. According to Jewish custom, the groom and bride FAST before going to the Wedding Canopy, the Chuppah. Part of the Ancient Galilean Wedding Model? In the current Age of Grace, the temple of "living stones" continues to add people, some of the12 tribes and some Gentiles, to the spiritual temple. To add to "the fullness of the Gentiles" until it is complete. Some people still want, and plan for the construction, the implementation, of a Great Temple at Jerusalem, made by human hands. Might Av 9 be The Day of The Blessed Hope? When the "living stones" temple of Abba Father and the Messiah's SPIRITUAL TEMPLE FINALLY ACHIEVES COMPLETION? "The fullness of the Gentiles?"
