Today is the Ninth of Av (5th month of the Hebrew calendar.) A day of sadness and mourning (*see note at the bottom of page), but ADONAI has spoken an encouraging word about this day in the future. A sure word. “Adonai-Tzva’ot (LORD of heavens armies) 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 *Tisha BAv (Hebrew: תשעה באב or ט׳ באב, the Ninth of Av,) is an annual day of mourning that recalls the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people over the centuries including the destruction of both the First Temple and Second Temple in Jerusalem, which occurred about 655 years apart, but on the same Hebrew calendar date.
