Home › Teachings › Yah's Times & Seasons - The Fast of the Fourth (Tammuz 17)…
In this segment: Chadwick clarifies the Tammuz 17th fast as dawn to sunset, contrasting it with the full fast of the Ninth Day of Av, which commemorates the destruction of both temples. He connects Jeremiah's prophecies to end-time events, drawing parallels between Nebuchadnezzar and the Antichrist, and concludes with Daniel 12, emphasizing that the wise will be purified and shine like stars, living forever through faith and obedience.
Okay, Miss Linda, "Is it now Tammuz 17th since sundown has occurred?" Yes, ma'am. So, wherever one may be at sundown today, yes, that is Tammuz 17th starts now. The fast itself, unless somebody can correct me from my knowledge, the fast is from dawn tomorrow to sunset. You know, it's not a full fast like the Ninth Day of Av is. The Ninth Day of Av is a full fast. So again, it's a buildup. Tammuz 17th, idolatry, the golden calf, all the way to the Ninth Day of Av, which will be a full fast for those who are led to do that, to truly remember why both temples were destroyed on that one day. Can you imagine the odds of that? Just the odds of that happening on one day, both temples being destroyed about 600 and something years apart. Truly amazing in a bad way. Okay. Mr. Skro, the Hebrew, great to see you again, my friend. We hope all has been going well. We hope you've been enjoying the beautiful summer and these beautiful days that we're in. We hope you have a great Fourth of July, and thank you again for joining us, my friend. And let me just read that. Excuse me. "Baruch Hashem Yom Yom." Blessed be Hashem day by day. Amen. And amen. Thank you very much for sharing that. "I need to rewind. Sorry for being late." That's okay, my friend. Thank you so much for joining us. I know we're all busy these days. Time slides by all of us, for sure. So, we just really appreciate everybody for being with us whenever you can, for a couple minutes, 10 minutes, an hour, replay, whatever it may be, we really do appreciate it. And thank you very much. And yes, if this has blessed you, if you could like it, that would be great. And also, if you haven't subscribed, please do. And again, we'd love to see you on the website. You can go on there for more information and more understanding as well with everything. So, we look forward to seeing everybody on there as well.
And Mr. Michael, "I cannot fast, and that is okay." You know, God understands that as well, and a lot of people cannot fast for whatever that reason may be, and that is okay. The main thing again is fasting with our heart posture, and what Moses was doing, his heart posture. People don't realize Moses didn't eat a lot of food and drink a lot of water for about 120 days. 40 days and 40 nights he was up on the mountain receiving the tabernacle instructions. No food, no water. When he came down, it doesn't say he ate; he brought the sword when he came down. But I guess he might have ate a little bit; we'll give him a little bit of credit there. And then he went back up for 40 days and 40 nights. No food, no water. Came back down. Maybe ate something. Who knows? Went back up. No food, no water. So people don't realize that 120 days. And he could have only done that in the presence of Elohim, of Adonai. But people don't really put that together. Remember, he was 80 years old when he did all this. Please understand that is supernatural strength to hike up Mount Sinai that many times with no food, no water. Only the strength, or what did Yeshua say? "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that Moses was getting from Adonai." Live by every word of the mouth of Elohim. Amen. So again, that is a mystery within itself to look at that. It's pretty amazing.
Okay, Monster Ball, thank you so much for joining us. Great to see you again. We hope all has been going well. We hope you have a great week, and we hope you have a great Fourth of July weekend, and also the three weeks of sorrow as well. And just because it's a half-day fast doesn't mean you have to only fast half fast. Let me read that again. Trying to get my tongue tied, right? So, not too hard to do, of course. "Just because it's a half-day fast doesn't mean you have to only fast half fast." That's right. That's right. And thank you very much. I think I'm getting what you were putting down. So, thank you so much for that. I really appreciate it. Very good. Thank you so much. And we hope you enjoy this beautiful season that we're in as well, my friends. We are in a beautiful season. As you can see on the calendar, we're in these summer months, which are awesome months to, you know, spend time with your family and friends and things like that. But it's also to understand purification as well, you know, because that's what it truly is about when it's all said and done. And again, you can have both. You can have a great time, but you can also go through purification as well. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Okay? So, when I talk about these things, when I say stuff like "ain't life grand" and all that, please enjoy your life. I'm just being sarcastic or whatever, facetious sometimes with it, because sometimes that's what it seems like in other religions, but we're not about religions here, right? So, we're about observing the Word of God as Yeshua is our King, and the Holy Spirit is our Guide and our Leader and our Comforter and our Healer. You know, that's what we're about here. So, again, my friends, we really appreciate everybody for being with us tonight. We'll be going through again this journey, this journey that Moses warned us about, and also what the prophet Jeremiah. So, in the next three weeks, during this three-week journey, we'll be going through Moses' warning in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 through 30, which is hardcore, very hardcore, when we read it literally and what He said to the people who live in the land. And then also, we'll go through the book of Jeremiah. We'll have three videos, three kings in the book of Jeremiah that we'll go through, and three videos to understand God's wonderful attributes when He loves the people, but they're in disobedience, right? And what happens when we don't listen, when we don't listen to the prophets, when we don't listen to what the book has said, the Bible, and we act in disobedience, what occurs? You know, and again, my friends, one of the reasons why I want to do the book of Jeremiah is because it's going to bleed into the end of the age. People just look at Jeremiah's historical, and that's the problem that we're having: is they're looking at it historical, and then they're taking the Day of the Lord scriptures for right now, and both are in error. The historical, the historical portion of Nebuchadnezzar, I will show you when we read it, it bleeds into the second coming events. Leviticus 25 is a perfect example of that. It talks about Nebuchadnezzar destroying the Middle East, basically, but then at the end of the chapter, just talking about the second coming. It's talking about the Day of the Lord. So, what does that mean? Nebuchadnezzar is going to come again. Because again, the Antichrist is going to do pretty much what Nebuchadnezzar did with the Middle East. When you look at what he does, conquering Egypt, conquering Libya, conquering Sudan, he rocks them. And the Antichrist will rock him as well. That's Isaiah 19, tells you that. Turns him over to a cruel master, the Antichrist, Nebuchadnezzar, whoever. So, we've got to really understand the book of Jeremiah. He bleeds into the end of the age with it. And I think the things that we're seeing our brothers over there get involved with in the promised land that are not kosher, that are in disobedience, that's the same thing that Jeremiah would come against. And Moses would come against as well. So if we love the Israelis, if we love the Jewish people, which I know everybody does, then we need to help whoever wants to listen to understand this, because again, things are not going to be good for the land of Israel or the world. Really, the Middle East, the world, everybody. And that's the point of Jeremiah. Jeremiah was a priest and a prophet. Goodness, what an anointing this man had on him. A priestly anointing and a prophet, a prophetic anointing. And what he told the people was not very popular. But he did get the New Covenant. He got the New Covenant. Jeremiah 31, Jeremiah 30, the time of Jacob's trouble. I said that backwards. Time of Jacob's trouble. Jeremiah 30. He will be saved out of it into the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31. But we have to understand, and our Jewish friends need to understand, our Israeli friends need to understand that this is not deliverance time. This is judgment time for all of our Jewish friends to come to Yeshua or not. It's time for our Christian friends to come to the truth of worship or not. And that's why the time of Jacob's trouble is coming, not deliverance right now. Time of Jacob's trouble, then he will be saved out of it. The covenant with death, then it will be annulled. Once repentance occurs with the remnant. So my friends, that is the message. It's a hardcore message, but that's what the prophets have said. And again, everybody wants to be the prophet. So let's prophesy through the prophets. Let's prophesy through them in context, in love, to the best of our ability. It's tough sometimes because of the zeal, and when we see some of these things going down with the abominations, the detestable idols, what Jeremiah warned about, the fishermen and the hunters. This man got a lot of great revelation. That is for today, everybody, not just for history. It's for today. The fishermen and the hunters today. Please look around at anti-Semitism. Please look around at all the Jewish people being murdered in Europe, in Australia, etc., in America. Please realize that's where we are, the hunters. And the fishermen. Please understand the time of Jacob's trouble that he prophesied about as well. The fishermen and the hunters, Jeremiah 16. Jeremiah 30, the time of Jacob's trouble. Jeremiah 31, the millennial kingdom, the New Covenant. So again, he got a lot of great revelation. And then what does he get? He's a prophet to Israel and to the nations. When I say that, that's to the table of nations. That's to the biblical nations in Genesis 10. If you read them, he explains that when he talks about each nation drinking their cup. So everybody's going to drink their cup over there because God's going to make them drink it. Is what Jeremiah says. So that's Jeremiah 25. Israel will fill up their cup. The Islamic nations will fill up their cup and they will drink it. That's what the prophet says. So we've got to declare that. We've got to proclaim that so the remnant will wake up and understand this. In Israel, in the Islamic nations, there's a remnant. I mean, goodness, there's three or four million Iranians who've come to Yeshua in the last 5 to 10 years. Isn't that amazing? For the nation of Persia or Iran. Saudi Arabia seeing an underground church. All these Islamic hardcore nations, who's going to be the beast kingdom, they're going to have believers in the remnant come as well. All tribes, tongues, and nations will have a remnant. And we cannot forget that. It's not to go murder everybody and kill everybody. No, it's not. It's to do the Great Commission. Let the governments be the governments, man. Let the governments do what they want to do. Well, got to deal with them. But we've got to be the Great Commission. We've got to do that for all people, our enemies, our friends, and whoever else. And that's the commandment of Yeshua, by the way, is to love our enemies and to go to the Great Commission to all nations, including these hardcore Islamic nations who definitely need the love of Yeshua, just as well as our Israeli friends as well. So friends, a very important time we're living in right now, a very, very perilous time, as we know, but it is an awesome time. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I really wouldn't. If there's any other time I, there's no other time that I would rather be living in. Maybe the first coming events, but I think the second coming events is where people, I just love it. I want to be a part of it. I want to do my part in God's kingdom during this time because this is what it's all about. My friends, if you love God, if you love Jesus, if you love the Holy Spirit, if you love believers, if you love people, this is what it's about. You could have been born at any other time in history, and God chose to birth you right now to live in this world right now for a reason. Because the times are getting nigh. He's pouring out His Spirit on the remnant, and the remnant needs to shine like the prophet Daniel has commanded us to. And we'll read that before we get off here tonight. And I really appreciate everybody for being with us. But this is what one of the greatest revelations and the greatest love postures that we have is this right here. And let's read it from what the prophet recorded: "Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness, all of you during this time, you will shine like the stars forever and ever. Because many will be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do understand." And my friends, I'd like to leave you with that tonight, my friends. What a great revelation. Shine like the firmament. Shine like the stars in heaven. And my friends, it doesn't get any better than that. This world is passing away, but the Word of God will live forever and ever. Yeshua the Messiah. And since He is living forever and ever, and Yahweh is living forever and ever, that means anyone and everyone who puts their faith and trust and love and obedience to Him, they will live forever and ever as well. In the name and blood of Yeshua, Bashim Yeshua HaMashiach. Amen. Amen. And amen.
