8th/9th of Av



God is faithful!


He said that we will see the day approaching!


He won't do anything without telling us. His words will be concealed but they will be revealed at the end. We're watching for His appearance: July 26-28, the 8th/9th of Av, and this is why:


CHRIST JESUS OUR PROMISES: We will see the Day approaching:


"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." Heb 10:25


He wouldn't do anything without telling us:


"Surely the Lord God does nothing Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets." Amos 3:7


His words will be revealed at the end: “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Daniel 12:4


The Holy Spirit will teach us all things: "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." John 14:26


Jesus told the Church that we will know the hour - IF we're watching."


Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you." Rev 3:3


God's words have been revealed as we find ourselves in the time of the end. The Holy Spirit graciously is teaching us and guiding us — and only because we're watching, we can see the day approaching! God's Appointed Time:


On the significant 8th/9th of Av, a date intertwined with the day of Pentecost, which is the Feast of New Wine, many key stories unfolded. This day holds a special place in Israel's history, as it marked the moment when they were meant to drink wine to confirm the marriage covenant with God. However, as history unfolded— they missed the opportunity to partake in this divine union.


These stories serve as powerful rapture/tribulation typologies, offering profound insights and symbolism.


Genesis: On this day, Noah released the dove (symbolizing the Holy Spirit) and gently drew it back into the ark for 7 days, a reflection of the Wedding Supper (Rapture). Meanwhile, the raven was also set free on the same day, representing the burden of the curse. This moment reveals how grace opens the door for the Church, while for Israel and unbelievers, the door closes as they reject Jesus.


Exodus: On this day, as Moses descended with the tablets, he discovered the Israelites had strayed and worshipped a golden calf, breaking the sacred covenant. Ironically, it was the day meant for drinking the cup of wine to symbolize the sealing of their covenant and divine marriage with God. Tragically, they received the wine cup of wrath, and 3,000 lives were lost. Yet, God remained faithful to those who had not worshipped the golden calf, extending His grace and protection to them.


Exodus: After the golden calf incident, God instructed that for forty years, 600,000 Israelites would dig a grave and sleep in it. The following morning, 15,000 people were found dead in their graves, but 585,000 arose from their graves, every 9th of Av.


Joshua: On this day, Caleb and Joshua delivered a good and positive report after surveying the promised land.


However, Caleb, being a gentile (hint), had the honor of being the first to step into the promised land on this very day, years later. In stark contrast, those who gave a bad report unfortunately died in the desert before entering the promise land.


Judges: On this day, God poured the Holy Spirit upon Samson, granting him extraordinary strength to push out the pillars of the temple, tragically resulting in the death of 3,000 people.


Ruth: On the 9th of Av, Ruth, a gentile (hint), was united in matrimony with Boaz, a significant event that marked the beginning of a remarkable lineage, as the great-grandmother of David.


Song of Solomon: On this day, the Shulamite was gracefully escorted to the banquet house, symbolizing the glorious and joyous occasion of the Wedding Supper.


Gospels: On this day, in a moment of divine significance, Jesus emerged from the waters, baptized, restoring the Holy Spirit on this earth. It marked the beginning of His extraordinary ministry.


Acts: On this day, a miraculous event unfolded as the Holy Spirit descended upon the gathering of the apostles and the followers of Jesus for a total of 120 people, marking the birth of the Church. On this day, 3,000 souls were touched and saved, forever changing the course of history.


The 9th of Av, a day marked by both tragedy and triumph - 3,000 lives were lost in history during two events. Moses' return with the tablets and Samson's extraordinary display of power. However, in an amazing reversal of the curse, God poured out the Holy Spirit upon the earth, leading to the miraculous birth of the Church, and 3,000 souls were redeemed and saved. In His grace, God transformed sorrow into joy, extending His blessing for an incredible span of 2,000 years.


Unfortunately, many unfortunate events in Jewish history have cast a shadow on this day.


586 BCE: Destruction of the first Temple.


70 CE: Destruction of the second Temple.


130 CE Hadrian ordered Jerusalem plowed under


1290: Jews were expelled from England.


1492: Jews were expelled from Spain.


1555: Pope Paul IV forced the Jews of Rome into a ghetto.


1648: Chmielminicki massacre in Poland and Ukraine.


1914: World War I started.


1941: The "finale solution" was put into effect


2005: Jews expelled from Gaza Will this be the long-awaited, great, and terrible day?


The day when He takes His beloved bride to be with Him, as we joyfully partake in the new wine together during the glorious Wedding Supper, while His divine judgment is poured forth upon the earth during the tribulation days?


I surely hope so! We are watchful and hopeful, but praying with everything we have for the salvation of many before this happens. We are watching these three events: The upcoming UFO hearing on July 26th in Congress. Could it be a coincidence? We are aware that they may need to craft a compelling narrative about the sudden disappearance of millions of people.


BRICS Summit in August: 10 nations coming together as a new power. Are these the 10 kings forming before our eyes bringing a new currency?


UN SDG Summit in September: They recently stated, this summit "will mark the beginning of a new phase". That new phase is a phase without the Church!


Our Father is the vinedresser, Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches that bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit. We are like the new wine that cannot be put into old skins — On that day, we will be made new in the blink of an eye!


There is only one time during the year to put new wine in old skins— that is during the Feast of Wine, on the 8th/9th of Av."Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.


" Matt 9:14-17 After the Last Supper Jesus said: "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom."


Jesus eagerly awaits to get His beloved bride to be able to partake of this new wine along with her in heaven, at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb! "


He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!" Rev 22:20


MARANATHA!!! The time to get saved is right this second and get rapture ready!!


Believe Jesus is the Son of God, who died on the cross for our sins, He was buried and resurrected during the third day, according to the Scriptures, so we can have eternal life with Him.


The moment you believe in Him and that He died for your sins - you're saved, justified, sealed until the day of redemption, and rapture ready!


The Holy Spirit will come to live inside of you - He will help you, guide you, change you, and be with you FOREVER!


"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16


"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Eph 2:8-9
