[Faith-talk] This is a day of mourning and remembrance for the Jewish people

> Dear Timothy,
> 
> Tonight beginning at sundown, Jewish people will observe Tisha B’av, the day of fasting and mourning for the loss of both Temples in Jerusalem. This day of lamentation also commemorates other Jewish tragedies that occurred on this day, most notably the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 and the razing of Jerusalem following the siege of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD.
> 
> For Bible believers, the most important scripture referring to the Temple is found in Matthew 24:1-2: As Jesus was leaving the Temple grounds, His disciples came along and wanted to take him on a tour of the various Temple buildings. But He told them, “All these buildings will be knocked down with not one stone left on top of another.”
> 
> The words of Jesus were absolutely shocking to His followers, but all hope was not lost. In that same discourse by our Lord, He predicted glorious hope for the future with His return. That return is tied in to several significant predictions that have already come to pass.
> 
> One of the most significant prophetic events was the blooming of the fig tree. On May 14, 1948, in fulfillment of Isaiah 66:8, “Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment,” Israel was prophetically reborn. This took place despite the fact that the Holy Land has changed hands twenty-six times, and Jerusalem has been leveled to the ground several times. Many of the prophecies found in Matthew 24 have come to pass, and the rest will be fulfilled. Psalm 102:16 says, “For the Lord will rebuild Zion and appear in His glory.”
> 
> Today you and I have the opportunity to be a witness of God’s love in the Holy City of Jerusalem. The Jewish people are under attack and facing threats on every side. They need to know that they are not alone, that their Christian friends around the world are standing with them. That is why we are working so hard on the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center.
> 
> We must raise the remaining half of the funds for the fourth floor and make the second payment of $411,500 by today. It is critical that we keep on schedule; the grand opening is scheduled for September 2014, and the nation of Israel is already talking about this unprecedented witness of Christian love. Your gift today will be matched dollar for dollar, so we must raise $205,750. So far 1,540 loving friends have given $166,035 which will be doubled to $332,070. That means we still need $39,715.
