Fast Days Reversed and Tu B'Av's Joy

So, let's reverse the, we're not going to reverse the curse, but Messiah will reverse the curse in the millennial kingdom during Messiah's 10,000-year reign on David's everlasting throne in Jerusalem, the curse of the fast days, including the ninth day of Av, will be reversed. So, this is what's written in Zechariah, chapter 8: "Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts: "The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth shall be joy and gladness and cheerful feasts for the house of Judah. Therefore, love truth and peace."'" My friends, this is beautiful. But like I always say, if we don't know the biblical calendar, then we're not going to understand what Zechariah 8 is even talking about. Zechariah 8 is not talking about the fast of the fourth being April, the fast of the fifth being May, the fast of the seventh being July, and the fast of the tenth being October. I mean, that would be reading it from a Roman American standpoint instead of a Hebrew Jewish standpoint of understanding what he was saying through his calendar. So, that's just one of the understandings that we can get. And I hope that makes sense that if you read this, there's no way to understand it unless you do understand the biblical calendar. And history with the ninth day of Av and Tammuz 17th, the golden calf, the 10 spies. What am I trying to say? Torah. Because all of those things are in the first five books of the Bible. The calendar is in the first verses. It goes through the calendar. Genesis 1:14. That's how important it is. And then you talk about the golden calf, which is obviously Exodus 32. And then you have the 10 spies, which is Numbers 13-14. If we don't understand that and understand the calendar, we're not going to be able to understand the prophets. That's why people don't understand the prophets because we're not understanding how to read them appropriately to get the right understanding. So, that's a huge point that I would love to make to people who's not understanding that God has given us prerequisites to understand the foundation of the way, and that is the biblical calendar, the feast days, Leviticus 23, the covenants, Abrahamic, Davidic, New Covenant, and the Table of Nations, Genesis 10, to understand how to read the prophets, how to read the end of the age war, Armageddon, and all of these things. We have to realize these things, or that's why you get into false theology and false eschatology. And you want to plug everybody under the sun into these biblical world. It's very clear the prophets were talking about Genesis 10 only, the biblical world, not talking about China, Russia, America, and everybody under the sun on the outer nations. He's talking about the biblical nations, the 70 nations. Gog Magog in Gematria equals 70. Genesis 10 has 70 nations. Gog Magog comes down to Jerusalem, the 70 original nations. There won't be 70 because the way they're chopped up, but the Islamic nations is what they're talking about, everybody. So, we've got to realize Gog, Magog, and all of those 70 nations right now are Islamists. Most of the majority of them are Islamist. And that's what's going to come against the people. I think that's pretty obvious if one just looks at the Middle East. But my friends, this is a beautiful scripture, but we have to understand how to read to understand the scripture. The fast of the fifth is where we are. The fifth month. It's not the month of May. It's the month of Av's month. Aba's month. So, we've got to really understand that sovereignly during Messiah's millennial kingdom, the ninth day of Av, along with the other fast days that's mentioned in Zechariah's prophecy, will explode with joy and gladness and become a cheerful feast day. Isn't that amazing? A mo'ed. Remember, feast means a divine appointment. A mo'ed. All of the mourning, sadness, and lamentation on this day throughout history will be replaced with this beautiful and amazing declaration by the prophet Zechariah. Amen.

In this month, we also, right after we get through the three weeks of sorrow, just like God does, He gives us a day of love, right? So, you just think about it from a trajectory standpoint, my friends, from the biblical calendar. Look at the process that He has us on. Rosh Chodesh, Nisan 1, the beginning of the biblical calendar. It's very important. Passover, crucifixion of Yeshua, the Exodus from Egypt. Unleavened Bread, laid in the tomb. First Fruits, He was resurrected. 50-day journey, divine appointment, Leviticus 23, to Shavuot. That's where the Torah was given. That's where the blessed Holy Spirit was poured out the same day, 1500 years apart. And then we go on the testing stage of Shavuot to Tammuz 17th, the 40 days where they made the golden calf. He wants to test us as well with our eyesight. And then the month of Av, our hearing. He wants to test our hearing during the month of Av. And then look at what happens after the three weeks of sorrow: the Day of Love, Tu B'Av. So, He's got it. It's a beautiful trajectory if we receive it. But this is Tu B'Av. It's the middle of the biblical month of this month, Av, the 15th. So, you've got two weeks. And it's not August the 2nd, everybody. I'm sorry about that. That is from a slide a long time ago. I'm not sure when that is. July 23rd is the 9th day of Av, so it would be July 29th, I believe, would be Tu B'Av. So, not August 2nd, July 29th of this year. So, in this month, Tu B'Av, or the Day of Love, occurs on Elohim's calendar. This is when the anointing of the month from tragedy and mourning transitions into an explosion of joy, happiness, and contentment. So, this is really interesting, my friends, as you have this three-week period of reflection. Some sorrows, dire straits, you know, depends on the individual. But again, this is a three-week process of reflection of why He did destroy the Temples because of the disobedience of the people, the golden calf, the not enough faith in the Lord to overcome the giants in the promised land, etc., etc., or whatever we're dealing with in our life. So, after we go through this three weeks of reflection, some people fast, let God lead you on that. But once we get through that and the ninth of Av, then six days later, we have a beautiful day of love. You can kind of think about it like Valentine's Day without the paganism. So, this is really beautiful. So, the sages proclaim that Tu B'Av is one of the most joyous days on the biblical calendar, including the divine appointments of Yah. Historically, Tu B'Av, the day is the date that Elohim granted Israel permission to intermarry between the tribes. We can correlate this biblical holiday to Valentine's Day on the Roman calendar without the paganism, as it is the day of love. Let us sing a love song to Elohim every day, but also on this day as well. Psalm 89:1: "Your love, Yah, is my song, and I will sing it; I'm forever telling everyone how faithful You are." Amen.
