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!

Israel and Lebanon agreed to the implementation of a ceasefire. The ceasefire is contingent on a complete cessation of Hizbollah fire and the evacuation of all Hizbollah operatives from the South Litani Sector.
Israel and Lebanon reaffirmed that they have no hostile intent toward one another and committed to continuing direct negotiations to build confidence, resolve all outstanding issues, and work toward a comprehensive agreement between the two countries.

A powerful magnitude 7.8 to 8.2 earthquake struck off the southern Philippines (Mindanao region) on June 8, 2026, at approximately 7:37 a.m. local time (PST).
Key Details
Epicenter: Offshore, about 20–32 km (12–20 miles) west-southwest of Maasim in Sarangani province (near the Cotabato Trench), at a shallow depth of around 10–33 km.
Duration: Roughly 30 seconds of strong shaking.
Impact area: Strongest in southern Mindanao, especially General Santos City. Tremors were felt across Mindanao, parts of the Visayas, and as far as Indonesia (e.g., Manado on Sulawesi).
Aftershocks: Hundreds reported, including some up to M6.5–6.7, continuing into the evening.
Casualties and Damage (as of late June 8)
Deaths: At least 32–37 confirmed (reports vary slightly by source; figures are still rising as rescue efforts continue). Many fatalities resulted from collapsing buildings, falling debris, and landslides.
Injuries: Over 200 reported, with dozens more possibly unaccounted for.
Major damage: Collapsed or severely damaged buildings in General Santos (including a Jollibee restaurant, a radio station, and other structures), cracked roads, toppled homes, power outages, and a damaged bridge. A school partially collapsed during the event. States of calamity have been declared in affected areas.

I am very proud of the strong and unwaveringly powerful leadership of India and Pakistan for having the strength, wisdom, and fortitude to fully know and understand that it was time to stop the current aggression that could have lead to to the death and destruction of so many, and so much. Millions of good and innocent people could have died! Your legacy is greatly enhanced by your brave actions. I am proud that the USA was able to help you arrive at this historic and heroic decision. While not even discussed, I am going to increase trade, substantially, with both of these great Nations. Additionally, I will work with you both to see if, after a “thousand years,” a solution can be arrived at concerning Kashmir.

President Putin of Russia doesn’t want to have a Cease Fire Agreement with Ukraine, but rather wants to meet on Thursday, in Turkey, to negotiate a possible end to the BLOODBATH. Ukraine should agree to this, IMMEDIATELY. At least they will be able to determine whether or not a deal is possible, and if it is not, European leaders, and the U.S., will know where everything stands, and can proceed accordingly!

Do not be lulled into comfort by “peace and security“. There are people and countries on this planet who want war. Some people such as the sons of Ishmael just like to fight and they have for centuries and millennia.
Genesis 16:12 He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.
There is way too much money to be made by manufacturing, selling weapons and support of war. The greed of some is more powerful than peaceful existence.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you. For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

And this is the backdrop of our world today…
Israel continues with Operation Swords of Iron in Gaza.
Per Grok… Military Actions: Involves airstrikes, ground incursions, and control of strategic areas like the Netzarim Corridor and Morag Axis. Recent escalations (May 2025) include plans to capture the entire Gaza Strip.
Israel continues military action in Yemen against the Houthis.
May 5-7, 2025: Following a Houthi ballistic missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport on May 4, which injured eight and damaged infrastructure, Israel launched massive airstrikes on Houthi-controlled Sanaa airport and Hodeidah port. The strikes disabled the airport, destroyed civilian aircraft, and caused ~$500 million in damages, according to Houthi claims. Israel coordinated with the U.S., targeting military infrastructure to weaken Houthi capabilities.
Israel continues military action in Lebanon
Ongoing Operations (April-May 2025): Israel continued strikes on Hezbollah weapons sites, including a missile storage facility in Dahiyeh (April 27, 2025) and arms depots in Beqaa Valley and Srifa (May 5, 2025). These targeted Hezbollah’s efforts to rebuild military infrastructure, which Israel claimed violated ceasefire terms.
Luke 21:9 When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent.
Micah 4:1-3 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it. And many nations will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Then He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for strong nations far and wide. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war.
Coalition MKs to US Senate: “Recognize the right of the Jewish people to the Temple Mount”
“This is the place where our Temples stood, which were destroyed by the Babylonian and Roman empires about 2,500 and 1,900 years ago.”
The letter to the members of the Senate reads: “Today, while the sovereign State of Israel guarantees access to holy sites for all religions, the Jewish people are denied full and free access to their holiest site due to heavy international pressure. Official recognition by the world’s leading country and Israel’s great friend – the United States – could ensure historical justice.
“This decision is not just a symbolic gesture but a declaration of truth, a declaration of religious freedom and the restoration of historical justice. The United States has been and will always be a pillar of human rights and the protection of holy sites around the world. Especially after October 7, when Hamas and its allies declared war under the slogan ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ while desecrating the sanctity of the Holy Place, we call for support and promotion of this historic decision as a courageous and clear statement of the United States’ ongoing commitment to truth, justice, and religious freedom for all peoples.”
Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

During their visit, the Christian leaders toured the biblical heartland, including the site of ancient Shiloh, where they reaffirmed their support for Israeli sovereignty.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based monitoring group, reported over 1,450 deaths across Latakia, Tartus, Hama, and Homs provinces by March 10, including 973 civilians, mostly Alawites, killed in what they described as “killings, field executions, and ethnic cleansing operations.” By March 11, this civilian toll rose to 1,225, with specific incidents like 132 deaths in Baniyas alone.
Some estimates have the number of deaths over 22,000. There are gruesome descriptions with pictures and video on the internet including barbaric murders, kidnapping, rape, and cannibalism.

Great Britain: Sir Hamid Patel, has been appointed interim chairman of OFSTED (Office for Standards in Education). This is who the Brits have in charge of their education. This is a sea change from The Church of England.
Sir Patel is Mufti. According to Grok AI…
A “Mufti” in the context of Islam refers to a qualified Islamic scholar or jurist who is authorized to issue legal opinions or interpretations (known as fatwas) on matters of Islamic law (Sharia). The term comes from the Arabic word aftā, meaning “to give a legal opinion.” Muftis play a significant role in Muslim communities by providing guidance on religious, social, and legal issues based on their deep knowledge of the Quran, Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad), and Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh).
To become a Mufti, a person typically undergoes extensive education in Islamic studies, mastering areas such as theology, law, and Arabic language. Historically, Muftis have been appointed by governments or religious institutions in some Muslim-majority countries, while in other contexts, they earn their status through recognition by their peers and community for their expertise.
Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

CENTCOM Forces Launch Large Scale Operation Against Iran-Backed Houthis in Yemen
On March 15, U.S. Central Command initiated a series of operations consisting of precision strikes against Iran-backed Houthi targets across Yemen to defend American interests, deter enemies, and restore freedom of navigation.
Leviticus 23:23-25 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord.’”
Numbers 29:1 ‘Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall also have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. It will be to you a day for blowing trumpets.
This holiday has many names. It is called the Feast of Trumpets by Christians. It is recognized as the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. In Judaism, it is called Yom Teruah which means the “Day of Blowing”.
The directions for the holiday are straight forward.
It is to be a day of rest or a Sabbath.
The day is a holy or separate day. It is a convocation. The Hebrew word for convocation is miqra’. Per Strong’s Concordance it means: rehearsal, convocation, a reading, a calling together, or sacred assembly.
It is a memorial and reminder to blow or shout. The Hebrew word is teruah. It means: alarm, signal, a sound of tempest, shout of joy, blast of war, alarm, joy, war-cry, or battle-cry.
In the Hebrew civil New Year of 5785 or the Essene year of 5949, Israel is at war on three fronts. Is war about to break out on a fourth front?
All of the military activity Israel is engaged with are supported by Iran. Below are Iranian proxies.
Daniel 10:13-14 However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”
September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough. I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible. This is significant because Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, is because Hezbollah has been a loaded gun pointed at Israel. Iran spent the last forty years building this capability as its deterrent. President Trump would often say, “Iran has never won a war but never lost a negotiation.” The Islamic Republic’s regime is much tougher when risking Hamas, Hezbollah, Syrian and Houthi lives than when risking their own. Their foolish efforts to assassinate President Trump and hack his campaign reek of desperation and are hardening a large coalition against them. Iranian leadership is stuck in the old Middle East, while their neighbors in the GCC are sprinting toward the future by investing in their populations and infrastructure. They are becoming dynamic magnets for talent and investment while Iran falls further behind. As the Iranian proxies and threats dissipate, regional security and prosperity will rise for Christians, Muslims and Jews alike. Israel now finds itself with the threat from Gaza mostly neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north. It’s unfortunate how we got here but maybe there can be a silver lining in the end. Anyone who has been calling for a ceasefire in the North is wrong. There is no going back for Israel. They cannot afford now to not finish the job and completely dismantle the arsenal that has been aimed at them. They will never get another chance. After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned. Most of Hezbollah fighters are hiding in their tunnels. Anyone still around was not important enough to carry a pager or be invited to a leadership meeting. Iran is reeling, as well, insecure and unsure how deeply its own intelligence has been penetrated. Failing to take full advantage of this opportunity to neutralize the threat is irresponsible. I have been hearing some amazing stories about how Israel has been collecting intelligence over the past 10 months with some brilliant technology and crowdsourcing initiatives. But today, with the confirmed killing of Nasrallah and at least 16 top commanders eliminated in just nine days, was the first day I started thinking about a Middle East without Iran’s fully loaded arsenal aimed at Israel. So many more positive outcomes are possible. This is a moment to stand behind the peace-seeking nation of Israel and the large portion of the Lebanese who have been plagued by Hezbollah and who want to return to the times when their country was thriving, and Beirut a cosmopolitan city. The main issue between Lebanon and Israel is Iran; otherwise there is a lot of benefit for the people of both countries from working together. The right move now for America would be to tell Israel to finish the job. It’s long overdue. And it’s not only Israel’s fight. More than 40 years ago, Hezbollah killed 241 US military personnel, including 220 Marines. That remains the single deadliest day for the U.S. Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima. Later that same day, Hezbollah killed 58 French paratroopers. And now, over the past six weeks or so, Israel has eliminated as many terrorists on the US list of wanted terrorists as the US has done in the last 20 years. Including Ibrahim Aqil, the leader of Hezbollah’s Islamic Jihad Organization who masterminded the 1983 killing of those Marines. -Jared Kushner

The United States is approaching six weeks of bombing against the Houthis in Yemen. The Red Sea remains closed.

“I think we need to recognize that CENTCOM has been starved of the kinds of assets they need to do this work for a while… We need to make a commitment to giving CENTCOM more of these resources, and then I think they’ll be more effective in these tasks,” retired General Frank McKenzie.
The British registered tanker Rubymar was attacked by the Houthis. The event took place in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The result was an 18 mile oil slick along with 41,000 tons of fertilizer being spilled into the ocean.

Hamas and Red Heifers: How does Hamas know about the Red Heifer? Why does Hamas care about the Red Heifer? Don’t kid yourself. Hamas is acutely aware of the significance of the Red Heifer.
“We look back 100 days to remember the educated, the complicit, and the incapacitated among the world powers governed by the law of the jungle, reminding them of an aggression that reached its peak against our path (Al-Quds) and Al-Aqsa, with the start of its actual temporal and spatial division, and the ‘bringing of red cows’ as an application of a detestable religious myth designed for aggression against the feelings of an entire nation in the heart of its Arab identity, and the path of its prophet (the Night Journey) and Ascension to heaven.” -Abu Obeida, Military Spokesman, Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas
We have years of articles regarding the Red Heifer. Click on the link below for the recent journey and prophetic implications of the Red Heifer. https://paulthepoke.com/?s=red+heifer
Per oral traditions as related by the Temple Institute, a heifer is at least 3 or 4 years old. So the earliest, said red heifer could be sacrificed would be 14 months from now??? That roughly would give us a target of September 2024 for the earliest sacrifice. Rosh Hashanah 5785/2024 begins at sunset Wednesday, October 2nd.

Some of the topics discussed, but not limited to, this week in Switzerland included: Central Bank Digital Currencies, Digital ID’s, vaccines, Disease X, elimination of meat as a food source, eating bugs, climate change, war on farming, nuclear energy and of course of peace.
These people are obsessed with the world’s food sources. They want their grubby little fingers in every aspect of our lives.
Matthew 23:27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity. In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
