2012 Summer Olympics and Av 9, Tisha B’ Av

This came from mbostrom's blog ... for original click HERE.

The XXX Summer Olympics will be held in London and will begin on Friday night, July 27. I saw some startling coincidences that I am using for prayer points.

• 2012 is the 40th anniversary of the Munich Massacre. This was the XX Summer Olympics held in Munich, Germany. A Palestinian group called Black September kidnapped Israeli athletes and murdered 11 of them.
• July 27 at sundown begins Tisha B’Av, the most dreaded day on the Hebrew calendar (see timeline history below). At the same time of the opening ceremony of XXX Summer Olympics, Tisha B’Av begins as Shabbat begins over Israel
• The Logo for the XXX Summer Olympics resembles ZION. In fact, Iran has threatened to boycot the Olympics because they say it ‘does‘ spell ZION.
• The month of Av is the most dreaded month on the Hebrew calendar with history repeatedly showing that if anything tragic is going to happen to Israel it will happen in the month of Av. Israel is already on high alert with all the surrounding countries in turmoil. In 2005 Iranian President made a statement that Israel ‘must be moved off the page of time’, a phrase than came to mean that Israel ‘must be moved off the map’. Today’s headlines read Iran Threatens Israel as EU Sanctions Kick In (TheStar.com 7/1/12)

NOTE: Intercessors appreciate prayer points, but I am going to leave that open so they can be led by the Holy Spirit as how to pray. My intention is to inform intercessors so they can pray focused.

The 3 week period between Tammuz 17 and Av 9 (Tisha B’Av) are called ‘bein haMetzarim’, aka Between the Straits, Dire Straits. Lamentations 1:3, “Judah has gone into captivity, under affliction and hard servitude; she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest; all her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.” Fear is strong during these 21 days because of the historical events connected with these two dates.

• Tammuz 17 this year will be July 7 (7/7/12), begins at sundown July 6
• Av 9 this year will be July 28 (7/28/12), begins at sundown July 27

The three months of Tammuz, Av & Elul are the most challenging months for Israel. History repeatedly has shown that if anything tragic is going to happen to Israel it will happen in the months of Tammuz & Av. These three summer months heat up both naturally and spiritually. The kingdom of this world is fighting against God’s plans and promises for Israel. The beginning 9 days of Av will continue prayerful struggle through Dire Straits, ending with the fast of Tisha B’Av, leading to the Love Dance of Tu B’Av on the 15th.

Av is the month that the 12 spies returned from the Promised Land, 10 with an evil report and Joshua and Caleb believing God was bigger than the giants of the land. Av is a month to hear, believe and proclaim the greatness of our God. Everyday the news will be speaking fear, but it is the time for the Church to speak faith and overcome all fear. It is high time to believe the report of the Lord!

Here are some historical events connected with the 9th day of Av

• Av 9, 1312 BC; 10 of the 12 spies brought back an evil report and Joshua and Caleb brought back a good report. Because the nation of Israel chose to believe the evil report they were not allowed into the Promised land for 40 years. (Nu 13)
• Av 9, 586 BC; Solomon’s Temple was destroyed (Jer 39)
• Av 9, 70 AD; Herod’s Temple was destroyed
• Av 9, 132 AD; Bar Kochba revolt crushed. Betar destroyed over 100,000 Jews (3rd Jewish-Roman War)
• Av 9, 133 AD; Turnus Rufus ploughs site of Temple. Romand build pagan city of Aelia Capitolina on site of Jerusalem
• Av 9, 1095 AD; First Crusade against the Jews declared by Pope Urban II. 10,000 Jews killed in the first month of the crusade
• Av 9, 1290 AD; Expulsion of Jews from England, accompanied by pogroms and confiscation of books and property
• Av 9, 1492 AD; King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella expelled all Jews from Spain and Portugal. The last boat of Jews was beside Columbus’s ship waiting for the tide to set sail. I believe at this time the mandate to bring the gospel to the world changed hands from Sapin to the new America.
• Av 9, 1914; First World War begins- Britain and Russia declare war on Germany.
• Av 9, 1942; Deportation from Warsaw Ghetto to Treblinka Concentration camp and killings begin
• Av 9, 1989; Iraq walks out of talks with Kuwait setting stage for the Gulf Wars
• Av 9, 1994; The deadly bombing of the building of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina killed 86 people and wounded some 300 others
• Av 9, 1994- Shoemaker Levi Comet broke into 21 pieces and began to bombard the planet Jupiter, which represents King David and Israel
• Av 9, 1994- Metting were taking place in Oslo, Norway regarding ‘land for peace’, Oslo Accords

Av 9 is a fasting day listed in Zechariah 8:19. “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.” Feast Days were appointed by God, but these Fast Days are appointed by man. These fasts centered on themselves, not sorrow for sin, but sorrow for thier loss. God is promising them that these days of fasting in fear and mourning will become days of gladness and joy.

Each Hebrew month has a Tribe, Constellation and Hebrew letter associated with it. For intercessors I have listed Av information below.

TRIBE- Simeon, (Shimon) Simeon’s name is the same root word as the word ‘hearing’, but means to ‘hear and obey’. His symbol is a pitcher with sword through it. His weaknesses were he was cruel and a fighter. His redeeming strengths were when he was teamed with Judah (praise) he was able to hear and receive spiritually revelation knowledge.

Historically 10 of the 12 spies came out of the Promised Land on Av 9 with an evil report and the nation of Israel heard and believed the evil report. Av is the month to correct mistakes in regard to hearing- listening to gossip, slander and lies. Remember, Simeon means ‘to hear & to obey’.

Simeon is the 2nd son of Jacob and Leah. Jacob’s parting word to Simeon are found in Genesis 49:5, “Simeon and Levi [are] brothers; instruments of cruelty [are in] their dwelling place. (6) Let not my soul enter their council; let not my honor be united to their assembly; for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they hamstrung an ox. (7) Cursed [be] their anger, for [it is] fierce; and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel.”

Dividing Simeon and Levi was action a redemptive gifting. Together they were cruel and got the Israelites into trouble, as recorded in Genesis 34 when these two brothers sought revenge for Diana’s being violated and disgraced by Shechem. Together the devised a plan that resulted in the killing of all the males in the city.

Simeon and Levi were divided by Simeon’s land being in the midst of Judah’s land and Levi not owning land, but being divided into all the territory of the Promised Land. Simeon became mighty in the army of God by being in the midst of praise, Judah. Left to himself he was a fighter, cruel, self willed, cursed with a demonic anger. But when he was teamed with Judah, he was strong in revelation, hearing and discernment.

CONSTELLATION/MAZAL- LEO “The Lion”- The lion symbolizes our encounter with raw force. The Lion is the king of the jungle and demands to rule alone. He represents pride- the collective noun for a group of lions is a ‘pride’ of lions.

As the lion roars- this is the month for God’s people to roar! When God’s people roar it creates a protective covering and unlocks what is above you. The roar brings a vibration that brings a change into the atmosphere. My prayer, “May God give PM Benjamin Netanyahu the courage and strength of a lion as he takes Israel through to God’s perfect will, peace for the city of Jerusalem.” (photo by Natalia Rubin, used by permission)

The Hebrew letter TET is the letter for the month of AV.

LETTER- TET- (ryhymes with ‘mate’) is the 9th letter in the Hebrew with the value of 9. It means ‘to surround or to twist’. The ancient meaning is of a snake and the pictograph of Tet is a snake coiled inside a basket. The classical Hebrew script below resembles a snake.

The letter Tet also resembles a womb, which represents 9 months of pregnancy and the Hebrew word womb or belly is be-ten (Bet- house, inside & Tet- surround), meaning ‘a house that surrounds life’. 

The Hebrew word for adversary or satan is sa-tan (Sheen- teeth, devour & Tet- snake), and tells us that an adversary is like Satan and is like the snake that devours life.

Tet is the least used letter of the scriptures. The first time it is used is in Genesis 1:4, “And God saw the light, that [it was] good (tov): and God divided the light from the darkness.” To me this reminds me that we are to take what the devil means for bad, and turn it around for the good by speaking, roaring and decreeing the Truth and the will of God.

Psalm 122:6, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

 they shall prosper that love thee.”

I can't think of a greater tragedy for Israel right now 

than the disappearance of every Christian on earth.

Planet-X, Nibiru, 9th of Av, Olympics, Financial Crash

US MIlitary and Agencies with Continuity of Government Notified of Incoming Solar Object That Could Endanger Earth with CMEs and Gravity Wave Induced Earthquakes and Volcanoes etc.

Ex-Military, Green Beret, now retired and an Investigative Journalist, John Moore has received intel on Nibiru. He is one of about five people who can be trusted on this subject; that is my conclusion after many months of determined research. I am satisfied that I found the truth. I've been expecting to hear this and I still firmly believe it is connected to the Rapture. And there is more. I will talk about it below the video.

A Convergence of Events Upcoming

1. Planet-X and Company can now be seen. It is a mini-solar system with the capability to do a variety of levels of damage to Earth. God, of course, is in complete control of everything in the cosmos. I believe He will - and has in the past - use PX according to His will for the Earth, and that He will use it during the next 7+ years to accomplish the earth phenomena throughout the Book of Revelation, having used it during the time of Noah's flood. Secular experts on PX also identify the Great Flood and other historical catastrophes with this mini system. No specific date is currently predictable for PX effects on earth. Estimates are for 2-12 weeks from now.

2. The "Three Weeks" between the 17th of Tammuz (July 8, 2012) and the Tisha B'Av - Av 9 (July 29, 2012) have historically been days of misfortune and calamity for the Jewish people. We are in that period right now.  During this time, both the First and Second Temples were destroyed, along with other terrible tragedies over the past 2000 years. These days are referred to as the period "within the straits" (bein hametzarim), in accordance with the verse: "all her oppressors have overtaken her within the straits" (Lamentations 1:3). Some Bible prophecy students speculate that the Rapture could occur during this time period. Nothing on earth would be more disastrous to Israel right now than the disappearance of every Christian on earth. We are Israel's only friends on earth.

3. The Olympics begin on July 27th. London has such an overkill of 45,000 military troops on hand for this event that London will look like a war zone - but virtually no security inside the games. It makes no sense, and there is much speculation about this, and an expectation of some great tragedy.

4. One of the last cards in the deck of Illuminati Card Game shows Big Ben tipping over and tragedy in London. No dates are given in the card deck.

5. The financial world is predicting a worldwide financial crash. Estimates are for 2-12 weeks away.

The Dark Time

Israel, on its festival calendar, has a period of time known as "The Dark Time."

It is always in the summer from 17-Tammuz to the 9th of Av. The 9th of Av is regarded as the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. On our calender this year the dates are June 29th-July 20th.

During The Dark Time, Tisha B'av, every summer it is traditional that no weddings or festive occasions are held or celebrated. Some do not cut their hair, and the orthodox do not take baths. It begins with a fast, and there are many rules and regulations which apply. It is a period of mourning that becomes more intense as the days go by.

The Dark Time stands out from other fasts because it commemorates the destruction of both temples in Jerusalem. Both occurred on the 9th of Av, the first by the Babylonians, the second by the Romans. This period of fasting is said by the Jews to date all the way back to the Exodus when the ten spies went into Canaan to spy out the land. Eight of the spies came back with a bad report on the 9th of Av. This lack of faith was a setback which delayed the taking of the land.

There were many tragedies over the centuries which have occurred to the Jews on the 9th of Av, including the fall of the Bar Kochba Rebellion against Rome, the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290 and from Spain in 1492. World War I broke out on Av 9. On that date in 1942, the mass deportation began of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto, en route to Treblinka.

The solar and lunar cycles also have great meaning for Israel and for the nations. It is unfortunate that we in the West are so unlearned about these things ... after all, who looks at the sky to read the signs in the 21st Century? You might be surprised to find that many people study these things which have been linked to the fate of nations for 6000 years. These signs have very specific meanings, and they are talked about in the Bible. Total solar eclipses have been a bad omen for the nations, while blood-red moons have been a bad omen for the Jewish people and Israel.

A fascinating overview of of these cycles and their significance can be found at:
http://www.watch.org/showart.php3?idx=104119&rtn=/index.html&showsubj=1&mcat=24
I highly recommend this site and think you will find the overview quiet fascinating and enlightening.

This year, 2010, Israel has been talking of a summer war. In fact, the entire world is talking about war this summer. Wars and rumors of wars seem to never cease.

Micah 7 talked about Israel being stripped naked during the summer. "Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men." Jesus himself talked very specifically about summer in the Olivet Discourse in Luke 21: "And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand."

This summer take note of June 29-July 20th, 'the dark time' for Israel. We also have a total solar eclipse on July 11th (Av 1) - a bad omen for the nations. Eight days later, Av 9 (July 20th) is Israel's saddest day. If you wonder how things can get any worse ... stay tuned. I prefer to see these things as bringing us closer to seeing our Lord, face to face.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. It will not happen without the Prince of Peace.
