Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes,
who will both bring
to light the hidden things of darkness
and reveal the
counsels of the hearts.
Then each one’s
praise will come from God.
1 Corinthians 4:5
And now you know what
is restraining,
that he may be
revealed in his own time.

…who are kept by the
power of God
through faith for
salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:5
I must work the works
of Him
who sent Me while it
is day;
the night is coming
when no one can work.
John 9:4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old,
called the Devil and Satan,
called the Devil and Satan,
who deceives
the whole world;
he was cast to the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him.
he was cast to the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation

serve to mark the seasons and days of years."
Unlike our,
Western - Gregorian, calendar the biblical calendar dates
can not be predetermined, but are fixed by
observation.
5th Month - Av (2016 calendar) ~~~~ 9th of Av
The Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar, with 12 lunar months of 29 or 30 days, which is about 10 days short of a solar year, so 7 years in every 19 have an extra month. This ensures that the seasonal feasts keep to their correct season.

Tisha B'Av, the 9th of Av, is regarded as
the saddest day in the Jewish calendar and it is thus believed to be a day
which is destined for tragedy. Tisha B'Av falls in July or August
in the Western calendar.
Five specific events occurred on the ninth of Av that warrant
fasting (other calamities also followed on or near this date):
1.
The twelve spies sent
by Moses to
observe the land of Canaan returned from their mission. Only two of the
spies, Joshua and Caleb, brought a positive
report, while the others spoke disparagingly about the land. The majority
report caused the Children of Israel to cry, panic and
despair of ever entering the "Promised Land." For this, they were punished by God that their generation would not enter the
land. Because of the Israelites' lack of faith, God decreed that for all
generations this date would become one of crying and misfortune for their
descendants. (See Numbers 13; Numbers 14).
- The First
Temple built by King
Solomon and the Kingdom of Judah was destroyed by the Babylonians led
by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 BCE (Anno Mundi
[AM] 3175) after a two-year siege and the Judaeans
were sent into the Babylonian exile. According to the Talmud in
tractate Ta'anit, the destruction of the First
Temple began on the Ninth of Av and the Temple continued to burn
throughout the Tenth of Av. (Jeremiah
52:12)
3.
The Second Temple built
by Ezra and Nehemiah was destroyed by the Romans in August 70
CE (AM 3830), scattering the people of Judea and commencing
the Jewish exile from the Holy Land.
4.
The Romans crushed Bar Kokhba's revolt and destroyed the city
of Betar, killing over 500,000 Jewish civilians
(approximately 580,000) on July 8, 135 CE (Av 9, AM 3892).
5.
Following the Bar
Kokhba revolt, Roman commander Turnus Rufus plowed the site of the Temple and
the surrounding area, in 135 CE.
