Observance of Tisha B'Av in the Midst of ME Tragedies

As the political dust of the ill-conceived collaboration between the nuclear ambitious Iranian Revolutionary Leadership and the ill-fated European partners tries to settle, what was harder to see in the background arena of the fertile crescent was the continuing alignment of the manipulated forces trying to prepare for the invasion of Israel, being the next intifada. Comments from Hizbollah indicate it cannot be all that far off.

The human sacrifices now occuring are part and parcel to the evidence that a force of the darkest proportions are in the preliminary practices of even greater evils to come. All of this is happening as a nuclear Iranian Regime finds itself on a timeline they did not agree to (for they do not control time), but are now firmly set on a course that will lead to the conclusion already set in multiple destinies. Israel is centerfront.

Speaking of temples, (the third Temple constuction likely starting within just a few years, if that long), is central to the Scriptures that have set the upcoming stage of events. For this observance, the tragedy of Damascus cannot be all that far off, either.

In the most recent tragedy of the Kurdish deaths regarding Kobani, this nudge of keeping the Kurds off balance reminds of the situation that Israel's northern exposure is getting darker by the political moment and there is the circumstance that little more need be accomplished from that direction until the UN issues its edict to evict Israel on behalf of the 'Palestinians' (completing Psalm 83).

To be sure, you and I need not revisit the pre-mid-post-trib discussion, but for those of us who are expecting it in fulfillment (Zech 12:7-10) of the beginning of the Temple site purge (Zech 12:9) for the arrival of Israel's King/Messiah (Zech 12:10). There will no longer be the need for the trespass offering then, only the voluntary sacrificial offerings for thanksgiving and praise.

Tisha B'Av will then become a fading memory, for there will be no tears in eternity.
