According to the Torah Calendar, we are in Month Four of the Spiritual Year Calendar for Israel. And Tammuz 17 is just ahead. This is the FIRST of the four minor fast days traditionally observed by some in Rabbinical Judaism. In Chapter 8:19 of the Book of Zechariah, he notes the following about the four days. "This is from the Tree of Life translation at bible gateway. "The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth month will become joy, gladness, and cheerful moadim." Their names in order in the year are the following: Tammuz 17, Av 9, Yom Kippur, and Tevet 10.  

When will these days change? In order? Soon or during the 1000- year reign? They are still observed as days of fasting and mourning from sunrise to sunset ( Yom Kippur for 24 hours). Few of those in Rabbinical Judaism will observe Tammus 17 on 6-23 to 24, a Sunday to a Monday. FIRST of the Four. Most Jews this year are following the Chabad/Hillel Calendar. It is a month behind the Torah Calendar. VERY FEW INDIVIDUALS will value Tammuz 17 in 2024 on 6-23 to 24. It is a double Anniversary of significant events in Jewish History, in Scriptural History: The Golden Calf Debacle and the Beginning of the Destruction of the 2nd Great Temple, Herod's Temple, by the Romans under Titus in 70 AD.

Will the 3rd Great Temple of the "living and lively stones" be TRANSFORMED on Tammus 17 on 6-23 to 24-2024? Messiah would indeed come for His body, bride, and family "at a time you think not" on a day important in Jewish History, but not an Appointed Time, or a Shabbat, or a Rosh Chodesh. A common and ordinary day to the many approaching it? It will seem to be an ordinary day for THE MANY. As it was in the Days of Noah and in the Days of Lot. The people experienced ordinary days before the tumult. They knew not what was just before them. Dates in Scriptural History are important to know and to remember. And it is good to remember Lot's wife. The Messiah wisely advised us. "DO NOT LOOK BACK." THE DAY of The Blessed Hope is closer to us each day...

With Love and Shalom,
