9th of Av - Tisha B’Av, the 9th day of the month of Av, is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, on which we fast, deprive ourselves and pray. It is the culmination of the Three Weeks, a period of time during which we mark the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

The mourning continues until noon on the 10th of Av,

the date on which the Second Temple's destruction was complete.

July 27/28, 2023 - 10th of Muharram (Islamic) - Ashura (Arabic: عَاشُورَاء, ʿĀshūrāʾ, [ʕaːʃuːˈraːʔ]) is a day of commemoration in Islam. It occurs annually on the 10th of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. 

Among Shia Muslims, Ashura is observed through large demonstrations of high-scale mourning as it marks the death of Husayn ibn Ali (a grandson of Muhammad), who was beheaded during the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE.

 Among Sunni Muslims, Ashura is observed through celebratory fasting as it marks the day of salvation for Moses and the Israelites, who successfully escaped from Biblical Egypt (where they were enslaved and persecuted) after Moses called upon God's power to part the Red Sea.

Jews fast for Yom Kippur, on the tenth day of Tishri

The root of the word Ashura means tenth in Semitic languages; hence the name, literally translated, means "the tenth day". It is derived from the Hebrew ʿāsōr, with the Aramaic determinative ending.

Some 5 kilometers (3 miles) west of Jenin, in the northern West Bank, lies the village of Burqin. St. George Church, locally known as the Church of the Ten Lepers, is nestled on the town’s mountainside. It is built over the cave where Jesus is said to have miraculously healed 10 lepers, giving it its name.
The reason for this name is that in this very ordinary town and specifically inside a cave which used to serve originally as a Roman cistern (and currently dates back to more than 2000 years ago), the miracle of the healing of the ten lepers took place.

July 21 - Legendary crooner Tony Bennett -- who made teenagers scream in the 1950s and toured with Lady Gaga in 2014 and 2015 -- has died at age 96.
Bennett often made a point of singing one song (usually "Fly Me to the Moon") without any microphone or amplification, demonstrating his skills at vocal projection. Astoria: Portrait of the Artist
On August 19, 2016, shortly after his 90th birthday, Bennett was honored by the unveiling of an 8-foot tall statue in his likeness in front of the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. Bennett had first sung "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" at the hotel in 1961.

What happens AFTER the rapture?
I believe while we are in heaven we will be planning and training to establish the TRUE NEW WORLD ORDER - preparing for the millennial kingdom!
What are you excited to establish in God's government and world?  
Cities will be planned in a new way that benefits the earth and the people. 

Revelation 20:2–7 - The millennial kingdom is the title given to the 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ on the earth.
vs 4: Then I saw thrones, and useated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
