Tisha B’Av: The Day the Temples of Kings Solomon and Herod were Destroyed
On January 13, 2013, Destination Yisrael wrote the following blog, titled, “Are We Preparing to Witness a New Garden of Eden as The “Latter Rain” and Snow Cascades down upon the Land of Israel.” In this article, we catalogued the vast changes that were coming upon the State of Israel that included a transformation of a higher state of spiritual conscious awareness. This included the observation the Jews in the Land of Israel were at the cusp of something great, awesome, and profound that will change the entire world as we know it to be.
It was noted that the floods and rains came down upon the Land of Israel since Succot 2012 (Jewish Year 5773) and brought 200% of the seasonal average national rainfall in Israel. It appeared to end a vast drought in the Holy Land. We dared to ask at that time, “were the days of the “Latter Rain” now upon us? Was this a divine sign that the “end days” before the “coming of the messiah” is now imminent?”
Traditionally the Mechoqeck or the leading rabbinic jurists that give definition to halakhic Torah law have been reticent understandably to give any literal times or seasons in the future that will literally spell out the last years before the revealing of the future Messianic Era. Yet, there is becoming an overwhelming testimony of ancient and modern evidence that the day of the beginning of the messianic era appears to be now upon us. As Destination Yisrael wrote:
Destination Yisrael – “The time of the Latter Rain has long been recognized by the sages of Judah as being a divine sign of the “end days” before the “coming of the messiah.” Yet, we ask, why is this important? According to the sages of Judah, when the “latter rain” does arrives, it means that the guela (redemption) that will come in bi’etah or that it’s Divinely appointed time has now arrived. Now is the time for certain actions on the part of the Jews and the Lost Tribes to begin to happen. So what are they?”
We investigated the Shemittah Week of (Seven) Years between the Years of 2001 and 2008 when the famed Sephardic Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri made the stunning announcement during the fall High Holiday season on September 15, 2005 that the year after the epic December 2004 Sumatra-Indonesian Tsunami that took the lives of over 250,000 people living on the rim of the Indian Ocean would be the beginning of epic catastrophes in the future. This announcement stated by this famed 108 year old rabbinic giant came as a call to the worldwide Jewry to return to the land of Israel because natural disasters will threaten to strike this world. As reported on Arutz Sheva (Israel National News) that is no longer active online, Rabbi Kaduri stated the following:
Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri - “This declaration I find fitting to issue for all of the Jews of the world to hear. It is incumbent upon them to return to the Land of Israel due to terrible natural disasters which threaten the world.
In the future, the Holy One, Blessed be He, will bring about great disasters in the countries of the world to sweeten the judgments of the Land of Israel. I am ordering the publication of this declaration as a warning, so that Jews in the countries of the world will be aware of the impending danger and will come to the Land of Israel for the building of the Temple and revelation of our righteous Mashiach (Messiah).”
It was one year earlier that Rabbi Kaduri sensing the great tragedies that would envelope the world in the Jewish year of 2005 beginning with the High Holiday Season and Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Succor in the prior year of 2004. Rabbi Kaduri predicted great tragedies in the world. One year earlier just two weeks before the devastating tsunami in Southeast Asia, Rabbi Kaduri was quoted in the Yediot Achronot newspaper as saying:
Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri - "We are now in the fourth year of what could be the seven-year Redemption period, according to the calculation of the Vilna Gaon. In the coming three years, uncertainty about the future will hang over our heads, unless we work and strive that the Mashiach be revealed. The Mashiach is already in Israel.
Whatever people are sure will not happen is liable to happen, and whatever we are certain will happen may disappoint us. But in the end, there will be peace throughout the world. The world is mitmatek mehadinim (or becoming sweet from strict justice). Great tragedies in the world are foreseen, that's the thing of the Jews going to the East. But our enemies will not prevail over us in the Land of Israel, 'fear and trembling will fall upon them,' in the power of Torah."
The sounding of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah during the Jewish Year 5764 on September, 2004 the act of judgment by HaShem, the Master of legions was followed by the great worldwide catastrophe called the Great Earthquake and Tsunami on December 26, 2004. This catastrophe of epic and Biblical proportions was studied by the rabbinic sages of Judaism over the next year in light of the future prophecies of the prophets of old. In grand unison, they pronounced that the coming of the messiah of Israel was near. To them, it was very soon.
Rabbi Kaduri, as the senior and most respected of the sages of Israel was reflecting these opinions that were formerly shared in secret and forbidden to be written down. These rabbinic visions of the future were now coming out boldly for the world to hear and understand.
As spoken in private in his own yeshiva and given to his students, in his learned opinion, the Sharon government would become the last Labor Zionistic government of the “old era.” Global disasters would herald the redemptive process of the future that will culminate in the arrival of the Maschiach of Yisra’el. Very soon, another wave of natural disasters will strike this planet earth heralding the culmination of this redemption process. As reported, on Israel National News, also no longer in print:
Baruch Gordon with Israel National News – “He (Rabbi Kaduri) is on record as saying that Sharon will be the last prime minister in Israel, and that the new government will already have leadership of the Messianic era.”
A year later in the fall of 2005, Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri’s grandson, Rabbi Yosef Kaduri held a private audience with his aged grandfather and asked this question, “Not many Jews are coming from over-seas. Why should they come? His grandfather gave this response:
Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri – “Because of impending danger.”…”Be extremely protective of your lives.” (Deuteronomy 4:15)
It was at this time that they both shared thoughts on the Elder Kaduri’s esoteric concepts that he called the “struggle between the oceans” or the large oceans called the Haokeanus hagodol which would strike the world. This “struggle of the oceans” first began in the year of 2004, when four mighty hurricanes plowed into the State of Florida: Charley with 145 mph winds, Francis with winds over 105 mph, Hurricane Ivan with maximum winds of 165 mph and the Jeanne with landing winds of 120 mph.
With the focus on these “acts of G-d, it appeared that a large part of Kaduri’s warning was towards the Jews in America. It was now time to begin their aliyah back to the State of Israel; their safest home on Planet Earth.
Then after the mighty 9.3 magnitude Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami into Indonesia on December 24, 2004, the world had to take notice of the disastrous August 31, 2005 Hurricane Katrina that slammed into New Orleans with the highest winds of 175 mph. It became the costliest hurricane on record with damages of > then $75 Billion.
Katrina was followed the catastrophe of Hurricane Rita with maximum winds of 175 mph and the strongest hurricane of all times with a peak gusts of 235 mph hitting Eastern Texas on September 24, 2005. These two were then followed by Hurricane Wilma (highest sustained winds of 175 mph and the most intense hurricane ever measured in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean with 882 mbar pressure, hitting Miami, Florida on October 24, 2005.
The living sages of Judah were speaking at great lengths in 2004 to 2005 of what was happening in the natural catastrophes in the world around them. The sounding of the shofar on the prior Jewish Year 5765 on September, 2004, and the act of judgment by the Lord of hosts that was followed by the Great Tsunami on December 26, 2005, gave the great sages pause.
This catastrophe of epic and Biblical proportions was studied by the sages of Judaism over the 2004 and early 2005 in light of the future prophecies of the prophets of old and the sages of Judah. In grand unison, they began speaking in unison of the “Catastrophic Preparations of this Planet for the Coming of the Messiah” and that this coming was very near. To them, it is very soon. A collection of these rabbinic testimonies were document on BibleSearchers Reflections in the sub-article titled, “Jewish Rabbis concerning the Coming of the Messiah.”
Was it not also amazing that the landing of the Super-Hurricane Katrina upon New Orleans came at the same time as the 9th of Av catastrophic disengagement and evacuation and destruction of the entire Orthodox Jewish communities in Gush Katif? This event had the hallmark of the finger of the G-d of Israel, shaking up his chosen ones of Judah and awakening the spiritual consciousness of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
The evacuation in 2005 of the Orthodox Jewish from the Decalim, or the shore of the Mediterranean Sea along the coastline of Gaza is led to the coup d’état of the Palestinian Arabs in Gaza by the Hamas chapter of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. It was they who brought to a greater reality of what oppression of the spirit, the mind and the body was all about they took control of this region. Like the ancient Philistines of old, the Palestinians became Israel’s most virulent nemesis.
The biblical significance of the judgments of G-d upon American for the Bush White House and State Department pressure to evacuate Jewish Orthodox “settlers” from their homes in the Gaza region was highlighted in the BibleSearchers Reflection article titled, “Katrina, the day G-d turned away His Face from America – the Catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina upon America”. This also highlighted how the G-d did and will in the future measure judgment down upon the nations of the world, before the rise of the messianic Kingdom of David, son of David. It also gave insight how G-d distributes judgment “measure for measure” when the American stimulated Gush Katif evacuation of 10,000 Israeli from their world renowned vegetable and flower nurseries led to the wrath of the G-d upon America in the form of American worst and most notable Hurricane Katrina that killed 10,000 Americans; lead to (Gu)sh (Kat)if à (Gu)lf (Kat)rina.
The Jewish sages over the last two millenniums have analyzed the prophetic predictions concerning the time of the end. In the Talmud, these Torah giants have recorded their collective observations, most of the time agreeing and sometimes disagreeing. While many Christians claim that the Jews worship the writing of the sages in the Talmud above their sacred scriptures in the TaNaKh (Old Testament), this view has no historical support. What it does depict is how much the Jews respect the wisdom of their sages, and how little the Christians in America and Europe respect their religious scholars.
These sages of Judah are the one who spent most of their lives in deep literal, allegoric, prophetic, mystical, and Hebrew exegetical study of the Torah “Teachings” of in the First Five Books of Moses, then Nevi’im (“Prophets” and the Ketuvim (“Writings”) hence the TaNaKh. This profound insight is what has kept the Jewish people together with a national identity during five imperial kingdoms plus two exiles.
We shall now begin to ponder the Jewish sages’ commentaries of what they predicted yearly to be the prime events in the Land of Israel and what it will be like during the last seven years before the coming of the Messiah. According to the prophecy of Rebbe Yochanan ben Zaccai of Yavneh as noted in the Talmudic portion called the “Sanhedrin 97b”, we took note that if this is the last Sabbatical Week of Years before the coming of the messiah, when we must look at the details, year by year, and see if the evidence matches with the prophetic understanding, especially through the seven years between Rosh Hashanah 2008 and Rosh Hashanah 2015. Then the following events it appears will occur in the years following those Shofar warnings on Rosh Hashanah each year. Here is a summary of that Talmudic prophecy written about 1,943 years ago by the famed Rabbi Yochanan ben Zaccai of Yavneh. Let us now look at this collection of passages in the Talmud in the Sanhedrin 97a, as they were first written:
Sanhedrin 97a – “Rebi Yochanan said: In the generation that Ben Dovid will come, talmidei chachamim, the “pupil of wisdom” known as the Torah sage or scholar, will decrease, and the eyes of the remainder will protrude from sighing and sorrow; many chastisements and many evil decrees will be renewed; one will not cease before another begins. The rabbis taught: The Shmittah period in which Ben Dovid will come the following verses will be fulfilled:
- In the first year, "And I caused it to rain upon one city, and upon another city I caused it not to rain." (Amos 4:7).
- In the second year, slight famine will be sent.
- In the third year, a great famine from which men, women, and children, pious and deed-doing people will die, and Torah will be forgotten by those who learned her.
- In the fourth year, some will be satiated, and others will not be.
- In the fifth year, there will be great satiation, with eating, drinking, and joy, and Torah will return to those who learned it.
- In the sixth year, voices (speaking of the Mashiach’s imminent arrival) will be heard, and;
- In the seventh year, there will be war [Gog u'Magog].
- In the year after the seventh, Ben Dovid will come.
Rab Yosef said, "Many Shmittah cycles have come and he (the Messiah) did not arrive!" Abaye answered, "Were there voices in the sixth year followed by war in the seventh year? Secondly, did they follow this order?" (Sanhedrin 97a)
Rebi Yehudah said: “The generation in which Ben Dovid (Messiah son of David) will come ... The wisdom of the scribes will be corrupted; men fearing sin will be hated; the leaders of the generation will have the nature of dogs; and truth will be lacking ... He who turns away from evil will be regarded by the public as being foolish.”
Rebi Nehorai taught: “The generation in which Ben Dovid will come the young will embarrass the old, and the old will rise for the young; a daughter will rebel against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, the leaders of the generation will have the nature of dogs, and a son will feel no shame when criticized by his father.”
Reb Nechemiah taught: “The generation in which Ben Dovid will come, insolence will increase, respect will be missing ... and all the governments will turn to false beliefs (minnus); criticism will be of no avail.”
Ben Dovid will not come until informers increase ... And hope in the redemption is renounced.”
As it is spelled in the discussion and dissent between the rabbis, that the “proof is in the pudding” and the evidence for the coming of the messiah must be “loud and clear.” As the above dissent from Rab Yosef was countered by Rabbi Abaye with these words:
Rab Yosef said, "Many Shmittah cycles have come and he (the Messiah) did not arrive!" Abaye answered, "Were there voices in the sixth year followed by war in the seventh year? Secondly, did they follow this order?" (Sanhedrin 97a)
According to the prophecy of Rebbe Yochanan ben Zaccai of Yavneh as noted above in the Talmudic portion the “Sanhedrin 97b”, it was noted that if this is the last Sabbatical Week of Years between Rosh Hashanah 2008 and Rosh Hashanah 2015, then the following events as they appear in the text will occur in the years following those Rosh Hashanah shofar warnings. Here is a summary of that Talmudic prophecy in the Sanhedrin 97b, written about 1,943 years ago using modern calendar dates:
- In the year heralded by the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah 2008 (Jewish year 5769): “I caused it to rain on one city, but, on another city, I did not cause it to rain.”
- In the year beginning with Rosh Hashanah 2009 (Jewish year 5770): “there will be a “slight famine” in which according to Rashi, “no place will be completely satisfied”.
- In the year beginning with Rosh Hashanah 2010 (Jewish year 5771): “famine will be great, and men, women, children, pious people, and men of good deeds will die; Torah will be forgotten by those who learned it.”
- In the year beginning with Rosh Hashanah 2011 (Jewish year 5772): “some will be satiated while others are not.”
- In the year beginning with Rosh Hashanah 2012 (Jewish year 5773): “There will be plenty and people will eat, drink, and be joyous, and the Torah will return to those who learned it.”
- In the year beginning with Rosh Hashanah 2013 (Jewish year 5774): “There will be voices which according to Rashi depict either the blowing of the shofars (war) or the hints and voices about the coming of the messiah.”
- In the year beginning with Rosh Hashanah 2014 (Jewish year 5775): “There will be war (GogUMogog or Armageddon).”,
- In the year beginning with Rosh Hashanah 2015 (Jewish year 5776), If HaShem wills, redemption will come in its fullness of time, with full revealing of the Messiah. Then;
- In the year beginning with Rosh Hashanah 2016 (Jewish year 5777), “If the Maschiah ben Dovid (Messiah son of David) is revealed, the Messianic Kingdom of Heaven on Planet Earth will be inaugurated.”
These correlations with modern dates and the potential that the Maschiah ben Dovid (Messiah son of David) will be revealed as early as Rosh Hashanah 2016, then we are sobered by its implications. The first thing we have to ask; “Is the dating system for the Sabbatical Week of Years correct and do we have the correct Jubilee Year Cycle.
Believing that Rebbe Yochanan and the Rabbinic Sanhedrin that was instilled at Yavnah in Galilee represented the hints of the future by the G-d of Israel, as we should believe, then his prophetic prophecy is right on track for the guela (redemption) that will come by bi’etah or “in its time with harsh judgments and great catastrophes”.
Yet here in 2013 in the Jewish year of 5773, might we also begin to witness the Jewish people in the Land of Israel experiencing a strange phenomenon that will rally the true pioneers and patriots of Israel and bring to them to the cusp of the era of spiritual enlightenment as their spiritual neshama souls begin to make contact with their physical bodies; created in the “image of G-d.
Then we are reminded of the recent translations of the ancient prophecy of Rabbi Judah ben Samuel, who died in the year of Jubilee year of 1217, and left this prophecy of the “Last Ten Jubilees before the Messianic Era will begin” and was written six Jubilees before the beginning of the prophecy. What it gave in evidence is profound but also anchored in when the final Jubilee will be begin the Messianic Era of Maschiah. As such, we ponder seriously this documentation by written by Destination Yisrael in December 2, 2012:
Destination Yisrael – “It was in the year of 1217 CE that one of Judah’s most legendary and prolific German Hassidic rabbis made an astounding prediction about the future of Jerusalem and the coming of the Messiah. Known as Judah ben Samuel (Judah He-Hasid or Judah the Pious, he lived in the 12th and 13th century in Regensburg, Germany.
Born in Speyer in 1140, Rabbi ben Samuel died in February 22, 1217 in Regensburg. He was one of the fathers of Chassidei (Hassidic Judaism), a movement of Jewish mysticism in Germany different than Rabbi Luria’s Kabbalistic mysticism, where the Chassids emphasized strong moral ethics and prayer.
When Rabbi Judah HeHasid settled in Regensburg at the age of 55, it was here that he wrote his seminal books; the Sefer Hasidim (Book of the Pious), Sefer Gematriyot (a book on astrology) and Sefer Hakavod (Book of Glory). The latter book is now lost and few quotations have remained by subsequent authors.
These years were the time of the Roman Christian crusades into the Holy Land between the years of 1096-1270. During that time also a flourishing correspondence was carried back and forth from Jerusalem and the Holy Land and European rabbis in Worms and Regensburg in Germany. It was in these letters that they knew about Saladin the Great and Saladin’s Sunni Ayyubid Dynasty in Egypt.”
Rabbi
Judah ben Samuel’s Prophecy of Ten Jubilees
It was in this year that Rabbi Judah ben Samuel began publishing his biblical calculations called the Gematria, plus his astronomical observations a gave us this summary which we can read today.
Rabbi Judah ben Samuel - “When the Ottomans (Turks) – who were already a power to be reckoned with on the Bosporus in the time of Judah Ben Samuel – conquer Jerusalem they will rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees. Afterwards Jerusalem will become no-man’s land for one jubilee, and then in the ninth jubilee it will once again come back into the possession of the Jewish nation which would signify the beginning of the Messianic end time.”
Once again we hold our breath and ponder the profound implications. We reviewed the past Sabbatical Week of Years especially the years between Rosh Hashanah 2001 to 2008 that ended on the Jewish calendar year of 2009, and realize that the Jewish messiah did not come, and the messianic era did now arrive in the year of 2009.
Yet, then we see a new profound thought. If the Messiah does come in the year of 2017, this will also be a Jubilee Year and the fulfillment of all the prophets will have merged together in one might prophetic vortex that will end at HaShem’s appointed time. The final battle of GogUMogog will be over in the 7th year; the Messiah will have been revealed and take his appointed throne in the Messianic Kingdom on Planet Earth after the 8th year in the last Sabbatical Week of Years.
Suddenly we realize that we are in the 5th year of this prophetic Sabbatical Week of Year cycle in the Jewish Year of 5773 in the year of 2013. Let us take another look at the prophecy of Rabbi Yochanan ben Zaccai who lived at Yavneh near the Sea of Galilee with the prophecy for year 5.
“In the year beginning with Rosh Hashanah 2012 (Jewish year 5773): “There will be plenty and people will eat, drink, and be joyous, and the Torah will return to those who learned it.”
We then ask, with Iran’s nuclear threats looming from the eastern horizon, with Egypt in a coup d’état to the southwest of Jerusalem plus the Sinai region to the south, with Syria in a civil war to the northeast that promises to bring al-Qaeda to the doorsteps of the Golan Heights to the northwest of Galilee, with Jordan’s royalty threatened to the southeast, Hizbullah threatening 50,000 missile strikes from the north; why would Jews living in Israel “eat, drink and be joyous” and return to a true Torah lifestyle that they once learned before in their earlier adulthood?
We remind ourselves of Destination Yisrael’s article titled above; “Are We Preparing to Witness a New Garden of Eden as The “Latter Rain” and Snow Cascades down upon the Land of Israel,” that we linked these graphic words, “There will be plenty and people will eat, drink, and be joyous, and the Torah will return to those who learned it” with Zechariah’s futuristic prophecy at the “end of days” that state that the days of mourning at Tisha B’Av when Israel with mourning for the destruction of the two holy temples of Judaism will transform this Festival of Mourning to a Festival of Joy.
Zechariah 8:19-23 – “Thus said HaShem, master of legions:…”Fast of the 10th Month; 10th of Tevet (December 13, 2013) – Commemorating the Siege of Jerusalem by the Armies of Nebuchadnezzar that will be to the House of Judah for joy and for gladness and for happy festivals. [Only] love truth and peace!”
Thus said HaShem, Master of legions: ‘It will yet be that peoples will come, as well as inhabitants of many cities. The dwellers of one [city] will go to [those of ] the other, saying, ‘Let us go and supplicate before HaShem and seek out HaShem, Master of Legions!’ [They will answer,], ‘I, too will go!’ Many peoples and mighty nations will come to seek out HaShem, Master of Legions, in Jerusalem and to supplicate before Hashem.
Thus said HaShem, Master of Legions; ‘In those day it will happen that Ten Men (representing the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel), of all the [different] languages of the nations, will take hold, they will take hold of the corner of the garment (tzitzit) of a Jewish man, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that G-d is with you!”
Would it be an amazing event if the following prophecy would occur in the Land of Israel in 2013, and be predicted by the Prophet Zechariah just prior to the building of Zerubabbel’s Temple in Jerusalem?
When Destination Yisrael pondered in January, 2013 the implication of the falling of the “Latter Rain” and that this could be the beginning of an era in Israel and Jerusalem when the blessings of HaShem will be cast down upon His people in Israel with abundant rain and material blessings? With the income from the gas reserves now being realized from the wells in the Mediterranean, the Arab nations crashing all around their nations in self-destruction, that the image of plenty of good food and drink eaten with joy, is a very apt description. Then we realize that this could be the year (2013) when there will be plenty, and G-d’s people will be satiated or satisfied as they partake of G-d’s blessings with joy and gladness, then we dared ask the question:
Destination Yisrael – “Are we being foolhardy to suggest that in this year of 2013, the Jewish rabbanim may call forth to all the Jews in the world that it is time to reconsider that it is time to reconsider and change the “Festival days of Mourning” to “Festivals of Joy and Gladness”. There is be only One Mitzvot; “Love Truth and Peace?” Watch for these dates, and pray for G-d’s revealing of His redemption.”
Are we on the verge of witnessing the fulfillment of the rest of this chapter which brings to us a joyous time of spiritual elevation when living the life of Torah will be seen by the populations of the world as the apex of a true and abundant life?
Would it not be amazing to hear that on the eve of the 9th of Av, such an “idea” be expressed by a notable rabbi for the first time in almost 2,000 years? As written, a new blog was posted on The Yeshiva Blogsite with the title, “Temple Institute releases sequel Video ahead of Tisha B'Av”.
As The Yeshiva Blogsite wrote on July 11, 2013 just days ahead of the Day of Mourning on Tisha B’Av, they reported that Rabbi Chaim Richman, the International Director of the Temple Institute who is dedicated to rebuilding the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was seeking to “reframe” the concept that the era of the days of mourning are about over. Is it not time reconsider that we are nearing the era of the messianic kingdom of HaShem? If so, then it is time to celebrate, quit mourning, a prepare our lives for a new temple in Jerusalem and for the coming of the messiah? As written on The Yeshiva Blogsite:
The Yeshiva Blogsite – “Following the success of the Temple Institute’s viral video last Tisha B’Av which reached an audience of over 1 million viewers, the Temple Institute has released a sequel which will begin a new genre of Jewish world videos. The Children are Ready II depicts an emotional journey that begins in a shul during the traditional mourning and recitation of Eicha (Lamentations) on Tisha B’Av and ends with a dramatic twist in which the next generation demonstrates their willingness for change and an end to the mourning. The two and a half minute video is likely to emotionally shake up Jewish communities worldwide by reframing the day, focusing away from the past and towards the future.
Last year, The Children are Ready inadvertently outraged the Arab world with the Egyptian government releasing a formal complaint and rebuttal videos made by Hamas and other Islamist organizations. The uproar was raised by a coincidental scene in which a newspaper that featured an article on Morsi’s election fell on the ground.
“The Temple Institute wants people to focus on the true meaning of Tisha B’Av” said Rabbi Chaim Richman, international director of the Temple Institute. “Tisha B’Av is not about just mourning, it is about contemplating a world devoid of the Beis HaMikdash, a house of peace and prayer for all nations, and it’s about asking: when will the mourning stop?” he added…
The Temple Institute has recreated most of the keilim and instruments for use in the Beis HaMikdash, including the half-ton golden Menorah, the Kohen Gadol’s gem stoned adorned breastplate. Through its educational programs, publications and multimedia lectures online, the Temple Institute’s International Department provides direct access to the world of the Beis HaMikdash. The International Department is headed by Rabbi Chaim Richman, a Torah scholar and world renowned expert on the Holy Temple and its significance to mankind. The Temple Institute’s English website is the largest online educational resource dealing with the Beis HaMikdah.”
After seeing the 2013 video, we invite you to enjoy last year’s premier video that had such an effect upon the Jewish consciousness. Maybe it’s time to make preparations for the redemption of All Yisrael, the arrival of Eliyahu (Elijah) the Prophet who will then prepare the way for the revealing of the Maschiah ben Dovid (Messiah son of David).

The G-d of Israel is working with imperfect people in order to restore this planet to a messianic era in which our lives can be focused on holiness, righteousness and justice. If so, you might desire to reconnect with the Biblical portrayals of what is and will be happening in your near future.
This Biblical portrayal includes Prophecies that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are about to return to the Land of their Biblical Inheritance. This is Divine Destiny in living reality as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel return to their Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.
If you want to learn more, Contact “Kol Ha Tor Vision”, the Voice of the Turtledove. Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and 10-Triber Vision to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United). This super Event of all Times will entail Establishing the Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness as part of the Land of Israel, and preparing the “Land” for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and then the Redemption of All Israel.
