Nuclear War is Scheduled for Tomorrow (or not)

I love prophecy. I respect it. But, I also don't let it rule my life in fear. God is God and I'm not.

That's why this ominous prediction from 9 years ago sourced in the BIBLE CODE folks predicting that on August 2, 2006 (Tisha B'Av) nuclear war would break out in the middle east doesn't scare me.

You can read the whole thing here.

The truth is, only you can be responsible for you. If the nukes fly are you ready? I am. That's why in the face of this prediction and it's fulfillment or lack of it I don't have any fear.

Don't run out and max out your credit cards because of this. Don't find a bridge to jump from. Don't hide in the Bomb Shelter.

There's only one shelter. Psalm 91.

I'll bet there are 10s of thousands of Jews rehearsing this Psalm today.

Tomorrow is Tisha B'Av, a day for Jewish memory: Jewish Year 5766 : sunset August 2, 2006 - nightfall August 3, 2006

Here’s what is supposed to happen:

Tisha B'Av is a fast day, and a man will not put on his tallit until midday (by that time the fire had died down in the Temple).
It is forbidden to wear shoes, bathe, wear perfume, shave, wash clothes or exchange greetings. Mirrors are traditionally covered and mourners sit on the ground, or a low stool, just as one would do when mourning the loss of a loved one. Mourners meals are eaten (boiled eggs with bread dipped in ash).
In the synagogue, the lights are dimmed and the embroidered cover of the Ark is removed; symbolizing the destruction of the great curtain which hung in the entrance to the Holy of Holies. Prayers and scripture readings are chanted in hushed, melancholy terms and Jeremiah 8 v13 to 9 v23 is read along with all of Lamentations.
"My eyes do fail with tears.... for the destruction of the daughter of my people (Jerusalem). " Jeremiah.
Tisha B'Av is not a perpetual fast - "Thus says the LORD of hosts: the fast of the fourth month, amid the fast of the fifth... shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness. ." Zechariah 8 v19. Messiah will come, Zechariah 9 v9. The holy Temple will be rebuilt and the LORD shall be king over all the earth; Zechariah 14 v9.

Ariel is the ancient name for Jerusalem, but it is also the current name of a large Jewish suburb of Jerusalem, just outside the city, proper.

It is my opinion that the description that follows is an atomic attack. The word Ariel sounds like "altar hearth" in Hebrew. In this case it will be a place of human sacrifice. If Hamas attacked Jerusalem itself, they would be attacking a holy city to three religions. But if they attacked Ariel, they would 'only' be killing Jews, thus it is a better target from their point of view.

The Israelis hold Syria responsible for Hamas' behavior, so I would expect them to retaliate by nuking Damascus. Things will go downhill from there.

Drosnin's slide, from his book "The Bible Code", says the "ninth of Av is the day of the third". WW3 is the one war in history that indeed will only take a day to start and finish.

What is most interesting is this whole thing was written in nearly 10 years ago. It seems like yesterday's headline. Will it happen, I don’t know, But I’m ready. Are you?
