From Mourning to Miracles: AV, 2025 and the Return of the King<\/h2>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\t\t

We have entered into perhaps one of the most polarizing and crucial months of the year\u2014the month of Av<\/strong>. Av lasts from July 26th to August 24th<\/em>. The word Av translates to \u201cFather.\u201d As this month begins, it traditionally starts with a period of mourning, ending on the 9th of Av<\/strong>\u2014known as the Three Weeks of Sorrow<\/em>\u2014the date when both the First and Second Temples were destroyed. Av is therefore seen as the most calamitous month of the year.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As Believers, however, while we are aware of these divinely timed disasters, we must ask why Adonai allowed them in the first place. As temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19),<\/em> this is a time to look inward and examine whether we are repeating the mistakes of the past that led to the destruction of the Temples.<\/strong> It is a season to ensure we are walking according to the heart and timing of Yahweh.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This month, we must remember who the real enemy is (Ephesians 6:12), and who truly fights our battles (Exodus 14:14). Don\u2019t give the enemy an open door through unforgiveness<\/strong> or let him prod at the self-destruct button in your life. Are you ready for a Holy Spirit rollercoaster of trust and faith in the Most High? If you haven\u2019t jumped aboard yet, now is the time. Take that leap of faith your heart has been urging you to take, and let Yeshua show you that He is who He says He is.<\/p>\n

Welcome aboard the King Yeshua Express<\/em><\/strong>\u2014taking you farther, faster, deeper, and wider than your body, soul, and spirit can comprehend, all made possible by the blood of Yeshua.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Power in His Name<\/h3>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t

Since the name of this month literally means Father, the NAME of God is in focus\u2014something the world has long tried to keep us from saying aloud. In Israel, we say Adonai or Hashem, meaning \u201cthe Name\u201d<\/em><\/strong> or \u201cblessed be God,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> but neither is His true name. In Christianity, most say Lord, but one of the biblical words for lord is Baal, a name of a false god.<\/p>\n

The Father\u2019s name is Yahweh<\/strong>\u2014a name tradition has long banned Jews from saying, and a name many Christians are unaware of. And yet it is the name with power over all names, including Yeshua.<\/strong><\/em> Other religions have no problem naming their so-called gods, but Jews and Christians alike often avoid using the true names of the God of Israel. This grand deception has persisted for over 2,000 years in both the Body of Yeshua and in rabbinic Judaism.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There is power in the name of Yeshua,<\/strong> and there is power in the name of the Father\u2014Yahweh. Let us proclaim that the name of the Most High, Yahweh, will no longer be traded for false and powerless substitutions. In the month of Av\u2014the month of the Father<\/em><\/strong>\u2014it\u2019s time to redeem this error and stand with Yeshua, seated at the Father\u2019s right hand, declaring over the waters and the nations: \u201cLet Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A shofar is blowing as we enter the month of the Father. Spiritual rivers and highways are flowing, and the call to \u201clet the dams break\u201d<\/em><\/strong> is going out to the gatekeepers of every nation. The Father over many waters is speaking\u2014and we will answer: Let the rivers flow in Yeshua\u2019s mighty name.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3rd Temple Now?<\/h3>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t

Besides marking the end of the Three Weeks of Sorrow,<\/em><\/strong> the 9th of Av (August 3rd) is also the day Yahweh told the generation rescued from Egypt that they would die in the wilderness due to their lack of faith at the border of the Promised Land (Numbers 13\u201314). Additionally, on the 1st of Av, Aaron the High Priest died (Numbers 33:38). Pretty foreboding.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While this has long been a season for mourning and reflection in Israel, the talk this Av<\/strong> is nothing less than the rebuilding of the very Temple in Jerusalem that we traditionally mourn. There is a mix of sorrow and joy this year,<\/strong> because all signs point to this being the most opportune and feasible moment in over 2,000 years.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Should we as Believers be excited?<\/em> Yes\u2014but not for the same reasons as others.<\/strong> For Jews who do not believe in Yeshua, the Third Temple is about ushering in the Messiah for the first time. But we know that it will instead be the false messiah\u2014the Antichrist\u2014who will sit in that temple claiming to be God.<\/p>\n

So yes, be excited\u2014but understand why<\/em><\/strong>. Know where this places us on the biblical timeline so that we are neither afraid nor deceived.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Who Wants It Built?<\/h3>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t

The main supporters of the Third Temple<\/strong> are:<\/p>\n

1. The Jewish people<\/strong> <\/em>(broadly speaking)
\n2. Many Christians<\/em><\/strong>\u2014some unaware that this will be the site of the Abomination of Desolation
\n3. Sunni Muslim<\/strong><\/em> countries aligned with Israel via the Abraham Accords<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t

This last point may surprise some, but those who did not sign onto the Abraham Accords\u2014namely Iran and its proxies<\/em>\u2014are almost all Shia Muslim, and fiercely opposed to this plan. Hamas\u2019 attack on October 7th was fueled by the belief that the Red Heifers were ready to be sacrificed,<\/strong> inaugurating the first High Priest and paving the way for the Temple\u2019s construction.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\t\t

Now that Israel and its allies have largely dismantled the leadership and military capabilities of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran\u2014including its nuclear program\u2014the Abraham Accords alliance is poised to reshape the Middle East.<\/strong> Politically, economically, and prophetically, this is staggering.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\t\t

But one question rises above all:
\nWill this be the moment that the architect of the Abraham Accords\u2014beloved by Israel and the Jewish people\u2014brings about the rebuilding of the Third Temple?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Even before October 7th, Iran believed the threat of this happening was so real, they gave Hamas the green light. Now that that threat is gone, what\u2019s stopping it?<\/em><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t

For those victorious in Yeshua, these times demand discernment.<\/strong> <\/em>We must know how to pray and act according to the Word. The temple must be rebuilt before Yeshua\u2019s return.<\/em> Its construction is one of the clearest prophetic signs that the 7-year tribulation is near.<\/p>\n

Once started, the Temple could be completed in just two years\u2014everything is ready. Daily sacrifices will begin (Daniel 11:31; Matthew 24:12\u201318), and will then be halted when the Abomination of Desolation is set up.<\/strong> Yeshua warned that when that moment comes, those in Judea must flee.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let that sink in\u2014not to instill fear, but to stir hope and awe. We are living in times that generations longed to see. Let us walk boldly into our inheritance as sons and daughters of this end-time generation.<\/em><\/p>\n

The gospel is racing from the ends of the earth back to Jerusalem. Amid war and turmoil, doors to salvation are opening\u2014especially in Iran, home to the world\u2019s fastest-growing underground church. Millions, even from Israel\u2019s enemies, are now praying for her salvation.<\/strong> The world sees one thing, but what God is doing behind the scenes is masterful.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t

Few remember that the 9th of Av<\/strong> also begins the Seven Weeks of Comfort\u2014a reminder that for born-again Believers, mourning gives way to celebration and joy. We are the living stones, the living temples of the Holy Spirit,<\/strong> <\/em>worshiping the Father in Spirit and truth. The old man is dead; the new man is born of the Spirit, standing firm on the foundation of the True Cornerstone.<\/p>\n

This period ends on Yom Kippur<\/strong> (October 1st), the final day of the High Holy Days. During these 7 weeks, the Holy Spirit\u2014our Comforter\u2014reminds us that we are in this world, but not of it. We are not grapes of wrath.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cFor their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies themselves judge this. For their vine is from the vine of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes are grapes of poison, their clusters, bitter. Their wine is the venom of serpents, and the deadly poison of vipers. Is it not laid up in store with Me, sealed up in My treasuries?\u201d<\/em>
\n(Deuteronomy 32:31\u201334)<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling shaken or in free fall\u2014remember, our King is not. He is unshaken.<\/strong> As we walk in the fear of the Lord, all worldly fear must flee.<\/p>\n

Yeshua is zealous for us<\/em><\/strong>\u2014His temples. He will clean out anything in us that\u2019s not of Him if we simply ask.<\/p>\n

As we are purified, more and more people will stop looking to stones and begin looking to the Spirit. We are the living temple preparing the way for the return of the King. Disciples of nations\u2014arise!<\/em><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cats vs. Lions: Roar<\/h3>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t

The constellation of Av is Arie<\/strong> (The Lion). Yes, the Lion of Judah is roaring this month\u2014but if you don\u2019t know His roar, the enemy will try to imitate it. Satan is a copycat\u2014literally.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion\u2026\u201d<\/em>
\n(1 Peter 5:8)<\/p>\n

The key word is like. Reinhard Bonnke once said, \u201cThe devil is nothing but a kitty cat in the corner with a microphone\u201d<\/em>\u2014and we couldn\u2019t agree more!<\/p>\n

But if we\u2019re not tuned into the voice of the Holy Spirit, that kitty cat with a mic is the loudest thing we hear. It tears up what was once in order, causes chaos, and leads us astray.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n \"\"\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t

But when we hear the Lion of Judah,<\/strong> that counterfeit roar sounds off-key. If we don\u2019t hear His roar\u2014beware of the bite. We\u2019ve all been there.<\/p>\n

This month, the true roar of the Lion of Judah is being activated within you. You are being fortified in your identity as a son or daughter of the Most High<\/em><\/strong>\u2014one who inherits the roar that causes the enemy to flee.<\/p>\n

Let us roar together this month of Av<\/strong>, and send the enemies of the Most High running!<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
