"First Temple: Month 4, Day 9 (Tammuz 9) 586 BCE and 3rd Temple Now"


The date of Month 4, Day 9 (Tammuz 9) is important in Jewish History. On the Torah Calendar, the Anniversary Date will be 6-14-2024. Of what? On this date in 586 BCE, the forces under Nebuchadnezzar II breached the walls of Jerusalem. This led to the destruction of the Soloman's Temple, the First of the 2 Great Temples at Jerusalem. The Anniversary Dates of Tammuz 17 and Av 9 are also important in Jewish History. Why? They are associated with the destruction of Herod's Temple in 70 AD by Romans under Titus. This was the 2nd Great Temple destroyed. So let us reflect upon something. From 586 BCE until 70 AD, only the First Great Temple's destruction was mourned. For 656 years. And Tammuz 17 is also linked to the Golden Calf Debacle, as well. 

Here are VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. Where is the Third Great Temple located now? What is the nature of this GREATEST TEMPLE. Not marble based. The component parts of this Temple are located not in Jerusalem, Israel on the Temple Mount, but all over Planet Earth!!!  Paul has declared in writing that this temple is "not made with human hands." Rather, its component parts are "the living, lively stones" of the true believers in Abba Father and the Messiah. The Redeemed, the family, the body, and the bride are composed of "the living, lively stones" among dead and living. This Temple is the MOST IMPORTANT of the 3 Temples: living, lively beings, not lifeless stones. Not granite, not marble. Not slabs of rock.

Let us look past the motifs of Shavuot, Pentecost, or Feast of New Wine. Consider another day. When will Rapture-Resurrection TRANSFORM the Third Temple of true wheat among the tares (the false converts). When will some of the dead and the living "be changed in the twinkling of an eye?" Let us consider the Third Temple, the Greatest Temple of all, thus far in human history. Might the DAY OF TRANSFORMATION be on Month 4, Day 9? This date will be unimportant to the many. Messiah has said He "will come at a time you think not." It may be on Month 4, Day 9 (Tammuz 9) on 6-14-2024. The First and the Last, the Aleph and the Tav, the Alpha and the Omega. The Third Temple Forever Transformed Day? We shall know soon.

With Love and Shalom,
