Please keep in mind that someday the Messiah will
return. He will turn our fast days into days of gladness. We will feast on the
fast days someday soon!
"ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'The fast days of the
fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months are to become times of joy, gladness
and cheer for the house of Y'hudah. Therefore, love truth and peace.' "ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'In the future,
peoples and inhabitants of many cities will come; the inhabitants of one city will travel to
another and say, "We must go to ask ADONAI's favor and consult ADONAI-Tzva'ot.
I'll go too." Yes, many peoples and
powerful nations will come to consult ADONAI-Tzva'ot in Yerushalayim and to ask
ADONAI's favor.' ADONAI-Tzva'ot says,
'When that time comes, ten men will take hold - speaking all the languages of
the nations - will grab hold of the cloak of a Jew and say, "We want to go
with you, because we have heard that God is with you." Zechariah 8:19-23 (CJB)
Weep for Jerusalem tonight, for there is exile until
the Third Temple is built. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6
Update 7.17.2013: We will see a Third Temple someday soon. It will be destroyed too. When? I propose Av 9, 2022. What is my proof-source of it's destruction?Amazing events occurred from 30 AD to 70 AD around the Temple. For a partial list, consult http://www.windowview.org/hmny/pgs/talmuds.30ce.html
One oddity from this time frame was that the heavy temple doors—bolted to the floor—would regularly thrust themselves open. The top Rabbi of the time, Yohanan ben Zakkai, commented:
From the Jerusalem Talmud:
''Said Rabban Yohanan Ben Zakkai to the Temple, 'O
Temple, why do you frighten us? We know that you will end up destroyed. For it
has been said, 'Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your
cedars' '' (Zechariah 11:1) (Sota 6:3).
My opinion: The soon-to-be-built Third Temple will
suffer this same fate. Shalom!
