Tisha b’Av: to the Jew, this is a date, the 9th of the Hebrew month Av. It is the 11th month of the civil calendar or the 5th month of the religious calendar. The month is not named in the Bible. Av usually occurs during July or August on the Gregorian calendar.
Historically, the date has resulted in heartache and pain for the Jewish people. Bad things have happened to nation Israel.
On the traditional Hebrew lunar calendar, In 2026, Tisha b’Av begins at sunset on Wednesday, July 22 and ends at sunset on Thursday, July 23.
On the Dead Sea Scroll solar calendar or the Essene calendar, Tisha b’Av begins at sunset on Saturday, July 25 and ends at sunset on Sunday, July 26.
As usual, the Temple Institute chooses the somber occasion to look forward to a brighter day and the building of the 3rd Temple.
One G-d, acknowledged by all: that is the one plan in heaven and on earth that can bring lasting peace to mankind. And the one place on earth for all mankind to gather as one and witness the awesome presence of G-d is the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. For 2,000 years we have mourned the tragedies of the past on Tisha b’Av. While we must never forget the destruction of the past, on this Tisha b’Av the time has come to build for the future!
“And in this place I will grant peace!” Chaggai 2:9
Haggai 2:9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the LORD of hosts.
By the way, still looking for the red heifer…

“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen…” — Revelation 18:2
For generations, many prophecy teachers dismissed the idea of a future literal Babylon.
“Impossible.”
“The city is a ruin.”
“Babylon is merely symbolic.”
Yet today, that objection is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
Iraq is investing billions in infrastructure. The massive Al-Faw Grand Port and Development Road corridor aim to connect the Persian Gulf with Europe, Asia, and beyond through a major commercial network. No, this does not prove prophecy is being fulfilled. But it does make a future economic hub in Iraq far more plausible than skeptics once claimed.
Commentary and analysis on the Al-Faw Grand Port and Development Road below provided by Paul Lehr.
For countries on the western shores of the Persian Gulf: United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, the Al-Faw Grand Port and Development Road will allow them to bypass the Strait of Hormuz to the north.
The road and railway go through the heart of ancient Babylon and the modern day Babylon Governorate in modern day Iraq.
And that matters because Babylon occupies a unique place in Scripture.
❖ The Bible Begins and Ends with Babylon
The first organized rebellion against God emerged at Babel.
“Come, let us build ourselves a city… and make a name for ourselves.” (Genesis 11:4)
Under Nimrod (Genesis 10:8–10), humanity united politically, economically, and spiritually in defiance of God.
~
Now turn to Revelation. The final world system is centered around “Babylon the Great” (Revelation 17–18).
The parallels are striking:
❖ Global unity apart from God
❖ Political influence over nations (Rev. 17:15)
❖ Economic dominance (Rev. 18:3)
❖ Religious deception (Rev. 17:5)
❖ Sudden divine judgment (Rev. 18:8)
The Bible’s story opens with Babylon and closes with Babylon. That doesn’t feel accidental.
As Andy Woods notes, Babylon serves as one of the great bookends of biblical history—a symbol of organized human rebellion against God from Genesis to Revelation.
❖ A Remarkable Amount of Prophetic Attention
Consider how much prophetic real estate God devotes to Babylon.
Isaiah 13–14.
Jeremiah 50–51.
Daniel’s prophecies.
Revelation 17–18.
References stretching from Genesis to Revelation. Few cities receive such sustained attention across the entire biblical narrative.
That alone should make us cautious about dismissing Babylon as a minor theme or reducing it to a vague symbol.
~
❖ The Literal Reading Is the Natural Reading
Babylon appears nearly 300 times in Scripture.
Babylon means Babylon in Genesis.
Babylon means Babylon in Isaiah.
Babylon means Babylon in Jeremiah.
Babylon means Babylon in Daniel.
Yet when we arrive at Revelation 17–18, many suddenly insist Babylon must become something entirely different.
Why? If Jerusalem means Jerusalem…
If Israel means Israel…
If Egypt means Egypt…
Why should Babylon not mean Babylon? The burden of proof belongs to those abandoning the normal reading.
~
❖ A Destruction Still Future?
Isaiah writes: “Babylon… shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.” (Isaiah 13:19)
“It will never be inhabited, nor will it be settled from generation to generation.” (Isaiah 13:20)
Jeremiah adds: “Babylon shall become heaps.” (Jeremiah 51:37)
“No one shall dwell therein.” (Jeremiah 50:39)
Yet when Persia conquered Babylon in 539 BC, the city was not destroyed like Sodom. There was no sudden fiery annihilation. No permanent overnight devastation. People continued living there for centuries. Alexander the Great even planned to make Babylon his capital.
A fair question therefore emerges: When was Babylon ever destroyed the way Isaiah described?
Many futurists conclude the ultimate fulfillment still lies ahead.
~
❖ Revelation 18 Sounds Like a Real Commercial City
Read Revelation 18 carefully. The chapter is saturated with economic language.
“The merchants of the earth have become rich…” (Rev. 18:3)
“Cargoes of gold and silver…” (Rev. 18:12)
“Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance.” (Rev. 18:17)
“In one hour such great riches came to nothing.” (Rev. 18:17)
Merchants. Cargo. Luxury goods. Shipping. International commerce. Global influence.
Many futurists see Revelation 17 emphasizing a religious Babylon and Revelation 18 highlighting a commercial Babylon.
Whether one accepts that distinction or not, the language sounds remarkably concrete.
The rise of major Gulf trade infrastructure makes such a scenario easier to envision than at any time in modern history.
~
❖ The Same Pride, The Same Judgment
Genesis 11 records mankind saying: “Let us make a name for ourselves.”
Revelation 18 records God answering: “In one hour your judgment has come.” (Rev. 18:10)
The first great rebellion.
The final great rebellion.
The same spirit.
The same pride. The same desire to build a world without God.
And the same Judge.
No one should set dates.
No one should claim every construction project fulfills prophecy.
But believers should watch. Because the city that launched humanity’s rebellion against God may yet play a role in its final rebellion before the return of the King.
“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen…” (Revelation 18:2)
Welcome to part 9 of the series, Debunking Replacement Theology.
The church is not the nation Israel. Members of the church are to rule and reign with Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself makes it very clear, the church and Israel are different. The followers of Christ will judge Israel.
Matthew 19:28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
2 Timothy 2:12a if we endure, we will also reign with him…
The reminder of ruling with Christ is the last message He gives to the churches in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 3:21 He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
The church will even judge angels as well as the world. Paul explains this in his first letter to the body of believers in Corinth.
1 Corinthians 6:2-3 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?
Until these things happen, our destination as a member of the church is one of two places. Obviously, believers in Christ who are alive are on earth. If we die before the Lord comes for His bride, then we go to be with Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
Members of the body of Christ who have physically died are said to be “asleep”. Sleeping is not an eternal state. At some point, we get up and awake. A physically dead body is resting. The soul and spirit are with the Lord as noted in the verse from 2 Corinthians. Bodily death is not eternal. A section in 1 Thessalonians 4 captures the concept of sleep and order of events for members of the body of Christ. This section is addressed to the church, not Israel. Notice, the letter is written to those “in Jesus”. Israel was not and currently is not “in Jesus”.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

Numbers 19:1-2 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.

So let’s take the other side of this verse.
Where there is no Lord and no Spirit, there is no freedom.
Introducing the Democratic Socialists of America… This movement is gaining traction in the Democrat Party. Their stated goal is Communism.
Communism, theoretically, ideologically, and historically, opposes God and all forms of religion. From the time of Karl Marx to today, communism is based on the abolition of religion. In 1844, Marx wrote, “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.”https://victimsofcommunism.org/curriculum-chapter-3/

There are politicians and citizens who want to take money from one group of people (the rich as defined by others) and give money and material goods to another group of people (the poor or in need of more as defined by others). There is nothing voluntary or free will about this. It is “legally” mandated.
So much for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
What happens if the rich (as defined by politicians) or the tax base moves away because of these government mandated policies? Remember, the rich are free to live their lives and make their choices too. They don’t have to stay and take it.
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” -Margaret Thatcher, British Prime Minister
These demands fly in the face of Biblical precepts. Let’s take the free will social contract of labor.
~
Deuteronomy 24:14-15 Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns. You are to pay his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
Notice, labor is involved and required. There is no free check, no free lunch, no free health care, no free house, or no free education.
This is a free will agreement. In exchange for labor, goods or a wage are earned and traded. The Bible has a higher standard than 21st century, modern day companies. The worker is paid daily. Western society has a pay check every two weeks or monthly.
It is considered oppression and theft, if the laborer is not paid after working. Biblically, the wage is to be paid by sunset of the day of labor.
This concept with labor and immediate wage is even extended to animals.
1 Timothy 5:18 For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
Again, this is a free will agreement between two parties. What if a company or a boss does not value its work force. What if the company does not pay a fair wage or benefits? Is the boss a jerk? God has a term for these folks, sinners.
The employee has a choice. There are other places to work. One can even start their own business and provide services directly to the population.
Labor is valued by God. The Creator has expectations for the employer and the employee relationship.
~
Exodus 20:15 You shall not steal.
Theft implies personal property owned by the individual. People own stuff.
~
Exodus 20:17 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.
The mental attitude of coveting is at the core of Communisms and Socialism. These people see other’s belongings and they want it!
The atheist wants to define morality instead of God. They want to determine who gets what and how much. They do not trust their fellow man to be charitable.
Communists and socialists call others “greedy” when others oppose their will.
“It’s not fair you have all these things!” They want to legislate how much is a fair share.
Their battle is against God. The battle is real and it is spiritual.
Don’t kid yourself, the godless have a plan and they are intentional.
Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.
A series of powerful earthquakes struck around the globe within a 12-hour span on Wednesday, with significant quakes recorded in California, Venezuela and off the coast of Japan. 🌎 pic.twitter.com/ecuxUiUBT3
This is different. For those of you who are new to the website, we only cover quakes 7.0 or greater because the frequency of 5.0 – 6.0 is too numerous to covers.
Yesterday, we had three 7.0 or greater earthquakes on planet Earth.
On June 24, 2026, two powerful back-to-back earthquakes struck northwestern and central Venezuela, causing significant damage, casualties, and widespread disruption.
First quake (foreshock): Magnitude 7.2 (initially reported as 7.1), occurring at approximately 6:04 p.m. local time (22:04 UTC). Epicenter near San Felipe in Yaracuy state (about 15–23 km northeast of San Felipe or related areas like Morón in Carabobo), at a shallow depth of around 20 km. en.wikipedia.org
Second quake (mainshock): Magnitude 7.5, striking just 39–40 seconds later. Epicenter also in the Yaracuy region (e.g., near Yumare or Morón). This was Venezuela’s strongest earthquake since 1900. nytimes.com
Casualties: At least 188 confirmed dead, over 1,500 injured, with hundreds more trapped under rubble and thousands feared missing or unaccounted for. The death toll is expected to rise significantly as rescue operations continue. aljazeera.com
Estimates range from 10,000 to 41,000 people missing.
Damage: Widespread building collapses in Caracas and surrounding areas (e.g., Chacao, Altamira, Los Palos Grandes), damage to infrastructure like Simón Bolívar International Airport (cracked walls, debris), power outages, and telecommunications failures. Many people were left homeless. Oil infrastructure reportedly sustained minimal damage. cnn.com
Response: Venezuela declared a state of emergency. International aid and search-and-rescue teams (including from the US) have been deployed. Tsunami alerts were briefly issued for Caribbean coastlines but lifted. reuters.com

Obadiah 1:20a And the exiles of this army of the sons of Israel, Who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath…
I suspect the immediate outcome in Lebanon with Israeli security of land could provide us clarity where we are on God’s prophetic timeline.
If Israel steps back and gives Lebanon responsibility of security south of the Litani River, the prophetic can has been kicked down the road.
Prophecy tells Israel will eventually have control of southern Lebanon up to ancient Zarephath, essentially the Litani River. When that occurs, we are one step closer to His coming…

Revelation 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east.
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – The Green Iraq Observatory warned on Monday that aquatic life in the Euphrates River is “not suitable” for human consumption and that the river remains heavily polluted, citing record-low water levels and declining environmental conditions.
Scripture is clear: “I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid!” (Romans 11:11). God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Yet some theologies openly teach that the Church has fully replaced Israel in God’s plan and promises. If that sounds familiar, these might hit close to home.
If you read “apple of His eye” in Zechariah 2:8 and immediately apply it to the Church instead of Israel, you might be a Supersessionist.
If you call God’s treasured possession in Exodus 19:5 a “temporary title” that’s now been transferred to your denomination, you might be a Supersessionist.
If you prefer the rotten fruit of Augustinian allegory over the plain promises God made to the descendants of Jacob, you might be a Supersessionist.
If you believe the specific land promises in Ezekiel 36 are really just poetic language about heaven, you might be a Supersessionist.
If Justin Martyr is your hero for declaring the Church the “true Israel,” you might be a Supersessionist.
If you think the word “Israel” in the New Testament always secretly means “the Church” except when it’s a rebuke, you might be a Supersessionist.
If you claim the Church is now God’s treasured possession while smirking and calling modern Jews “Christ-rejectors,” you might be a Supersessionist.
If Augustine’s City of God convinced you that the millennial kingdom is simply this present Church age, you might be a Supersessionist.
If “one new man” in Ephesians 2 means ethnic Jews disappear into the Church like salt dissolving in soup, you might be a Supersessionist.
If you celebrate Replacement Theology but rebrand it as “fulfillment theology” so it sounds less heretical, you might be a Supersessionist.
Bonus Time: If you read “all Israel will be saved” in Romans 11:26and immediately start explaining why it doesn’t actually mean what it says, you might be a Supersessionist.
We are not to boast against the natural branches. As Paul warns in Romans 11, the root supports us — we do not support the root. Our calling is not to replace or dismiss Israel, but to walk in such joyful obedience and genuine love that we provoke the Jewish people to jealousy, stirring them to recognize their Messiah through the beauty of a grafted-in people who honor God’s irrevocable gifts and calling.
Charles Spurgeon declared it powerfully: “I think we do not attach sufficient importance to the restoration of the Jews. We do not think enough about it. But certainly, if there is anything promised in the Bible it is this.”
May we heed the Word, reject boasting, and live as a blessing that draws God’s ancient people back to their Messiah.
Drop your own “You Might Be a Supersessionist” lines in the comments, let’s keep the sharpening going!
I understand the reservations of the Israelis here.
The wheels of this bus have to come off very publicly if the conservative movement can have a “Don’t ever ask us to negotiate with these mutants again” moment. Nothing in the MOU is irrevocable. I worked on MOUs at the State Department often. They have weight around the discussion table and before cameras. That’s it.
I am going out on a limb with my three readers here that we are struggling with William F. Buckley’s “In Search of Antisemitism”. I wish that they’d take a look at who in (and out of) the USG is pushing this abomination. Make no mistake the strategic imperative deserve a serious answer. But we have fundamental questions to answer definitively, and this conflict is a good proxy for doing so.
Are we children of (thus brothers under) the same Lord? As peoples, do we not honor the name El Shaddai?
Answer, yes, we honor the one God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.
So why would we entertain these notions that Israeli and American interests as divergent? In some small picayune matters, almost certainly that will happen. These are ripe for diplomatic working-level chats. But the larger questions require us to examine greater questions of common destinies, and thus common causes, and that must be answered and fixed upon our hearts. They must be mutually agreed upon as historically and biblically fully answered questions.
In the course of that, we must dismiss arguments that President Trump faces from members of his own political house. It is painful as it is to watch this “deal” unfold, but there is an element of theater. My prayer is that it is designed to be an exhibition of diplomatic folly. My fervent hope is that the gambit works in order to show the level of compromise within the conservative movement. One will likely find a river of mainly (though not exclusively) Qatari money there.
In so doing, we might be able to clean our own house within the conservative community and finally answer the Israel question for good so as to guard against future accretions. Only then can we clean up with overall American outlook. My hope is that it will offer the Israeli national outlook a similar opportunity because a larger issue looms.
In watching Levin last night, he discussed cold war issues with a level of gravity implying the existential questions involved. The conservative movement has roundly declared victory over the defeat of the Soviet monolith, largely at Reagan’s doing. As men/women of the right we see communism’s discredit as final.
What was deeply troubling of communism is that it was a political philosophy of “man without God”, to quote Whittaker Chambers. It is what gave us all a pit of foreboding in our collective gut during the cold war. That shared tacit understanding by many, gave gravity to the task of confronting it, and thus the purity of our intent was clear. Some of our countrymen opted to sniff the airplane glue of accommodationism.
The red monolith was defeated by ideas of freedom born in Judeo-Christian Biblical principles.
In our sedentary post-cold war world, ‘Man without God’ was quietly and stealthily usurped by a far more insidious threat embodied by the Iranian threat: Man against God.
That is what we are against in this fight against Iran. Yes, Iran is nothing compared to the Soviet Army. But that cold calculus of national power falls away to those on the receiving end of Iranian satanic fury. When brought back to human proportion, the distinction of the scope of the threat is irrelevant when its intentionality is made clear. Imagine the heart stopping urgency of a pair of newly-weds rushing a precious newborn to a shelter in Haifa amid the seemingly endless whales of the klaxon.
My friends, Trump knows what he is doing. he has to clear the division within his own house. Prime Minister Netanyahu must also do like. I argue that by his action Ehud Barak has shown himself to be as hostile to God as anyone. My long years in the wilderness have taught me that Man against God is real. Let’s fortify our President by prayer, that the foregoing is understood.

Welcome to part 8 of the series, Debunking Replacement Theology.
The body of Jesus Christ (the church) and Israel are two distinct, separate entities with two different destinations.
Every Old Testament prophet except Jonah discusses the restoration of the nation of Israel. This promise is not made to the church. The Abrahamic Covenant is for Israel. Keep in mind, the church was not on the scene when the prophets spoke to their people, Israel and their city Jerusalem.
Isaiah 65:9 “I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, and an heir of My mountains from Judah; even My chosen ones shall inherit it, and My servants will dwell there.”
Jeremiah 30:3 For behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, “when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.” The Lord says, “I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.”
Ezekiel Chapter 34
Daniel 7:14 And to Him was given dominion, glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.
Hosea Chapter 2
Joel 2:19 The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine and oil, and you will be satisfied in full with them; and I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.”
Amos 9:14 “Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, and they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; they will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, and make gardens and eat their fruit.”
Obadiah 1:17 “But on Mount Zion there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. And the house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
Micah 2:12 “I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in the fold; like a flock in the midst of its pasture they will be noisy with men.”
