Tammuz is the fourth month in the Hebrew Calendar lasting from June 14 to July 12 in the Gregorian calendar.\u00a0 It marks the beginning of the Summer season that consists of three months: Tammuz, Av and Elul which correspond to three tribes of the camp of Reuben which are Reuben, Simeon and Gad.\u00a0 The biblical month of Tammuz is the month to worship and a month of vision, as well as a month of remembrance.\u00a0 One of the questions regarding the biblical months that is frequently asked is why the Babylonian names of the biblical months are used.\u00a0 We see throughout the Word of God a consistent use of festivals, celebrations and fasting days used as a way to both remember things of the past, and also to convey God\u2019s redemptive purpose for the future.\u00a0 In the case of the names of the biblical months, they are also reminders of the fulfillment of Jeremiah 16:14-15 that says, \u201c\u201cTherefore behold, the days are coming,\u201d says the Lord, \u201cthat it shall no more be said, \u2018The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,\u2019\u00a0 but, \u2018The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.\u2019 For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.\u201d\u00a0 The Babylonian names are a constant reminder of the grace and mercy of Hashem who brought the Israelites out of exile from Babylon.<\/p>\n

Some very important events in the Bible took place during the month of Tammuz.\u00a0 It was during this month that the Hebrews, fearing that Moses was dead atop Mount Sinai, reverted back to the idol worship of the past, and created and worshipped the golden calf.\u00a0 Moses, upon seeing this after coming down from Mount Sinai and receiving the Ten Commandments, promptly threw them to the ground, shattering them (Exodus 39:19-20).\u00a0 Even after seeing all of the miracles of God, they still went right back to doing what was detested in His sight. \u00a0 Had they held out for just a few more hours for Moses to return, the result would have been much different.\u00a0 Because of this blatant act of disobedience, Elohim was about to kill them all and start over with just Moses, but instead, Moses interceded for them for 40 days and nights on Mount Sinai, and Abba forgave them (Deuteronomy 9:13-20).\u00a0 In reference to this month, the word \u201cTammuz\u201d was actually the name of a god worshiped in Babylon, and is often times condemned by many for it being used as the name of a biblical month, however, once again we see in the fine print another stark reminder of the sins of the past. \u00a0 The word Tammuz is used only once in the Bible In Ezekiel 8:13 in reference to the worship of false gods by the Israelites.\u00a0 With this false worship rampant throughout Israel at the time, The Ancient of Days was furious, just as He was in the days of the golden calf.\u00a0 \u201cAnd you will know that I am the Lord, for you have not followed my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you\u201d (Ezekiel 11:12).\u00a0 The first vision of the Glory of God came to Ezekiel on the fifth day of the fourth month, that is Tammuz, when he saw the four living creatures and the Glory of God on the throne above them, where the Spirit of God spoke to him and gave him the duty of warning the people of Jerusalem of what is to come in order that they would have the chance to repent(Ezekiel 1-3).\u00a0 In the end, the people of Jerusalem did not head the warnings of Ezekiel, the prophet of God, and paid more dearly than one could imagine.\u00a0 To this day the desolation and destruction\u00a0 of Jerusalem that ensued following the unheeded warnings of Ezekiel are commemorated with what is called the three weeks of sorrow.\u00a0 On the 9th of Tammuz was the day the walls of Jerusalem were breached by Nebuchadnezzar\u2019s army, and on the 17th of Tammuz was when the temple offerings were halted.\u00a0 To this day, the 17th of Tammuz is a day of fasting, beginning the three weeks of sorrow, ending on the 9th of Av, the day of the destruction of the first temple.<\/p>\n

This month we must seek the face of the the Lord of Hosts in adoration and worship in Spirit and in Truth lest we return to worshiping golden calves and idols in our own lives. What is your golden calf that keeps you from your appointment with Elohim? We must also not be deceived by the enemy who wishes to keep us in the cages of lies that our past sins still define who we are.\u00a0 The cell doors have been flung wide by the Blood of Yeshua, and your past sins no longer have credence on your present and future.\u00a0 The enemy has no legality over your life, and any time the fallen kingdom of darkness tries to lie to you and bring up things of the past, you can confidently say get away from me lier, for the Blood of the Lamb has nullified my past sins and you have no right to my life.\u00a0 \u201cHe sets a table before you in the midst of your enemies\u201d (Psalm 23:5).\u00a0 In this month of Tammuz it is time to see, to buy salve for our eyes from the storerooms of heaven (Revelation 3:18) so that they may be opened to the perfect plan and purpose for our lives in this season.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t

REUBEN<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tribe of Reuben is the tribe of the month of Tammuz.\u00a0 Reuben was the first born son of Jacob from his wife Leah.\u00a0 \u201cAnd Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Reuben, for she said, \u201cThe LORD has seen my affliction.\u00a0 Surely my husband will love me now\u201d (Genesis 29:32).\u00a0 The name Reuben is actually two Hebrew words put together, and in simple terms Rue means to see or notice, and ben means son.\u00a0 Although Reuben was the firstborn of Jacob, his inheritance was stripped away from him after sleeping with his fathers concubine (Genesis 35:22).\u00a0 For many people, this is the only thing that Reuben is remembered for, but there was far more to Reuben than this glaring mistake.\u00a0 When Jacob prophecies over Reuben, before telling him he would no longer excel because he had defiled his bed, he has this to say about Reuben, \u201cReuben, you are my firstborn, my might, the first sign of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power\u201d (Genesis 49:3-4).\u00a0 We also see that it was Reuben who saved his brother Joseph from being slain by his brothers, and we see in his reaction to Joseph being gone from the pit after his brothers sold him to the slave traders, that he loved his brother intensely (Genesis 37:21-22). \u201cWhen Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes\u201d (Genesis 37:29).\u00a0 When the sons of Jacob had to take Benjamin to Egypt, Reuben is the one who steps up to comfort his father saying, \u201cYou may put both of my sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him back\u201d (Genesis 42:37).\u00a0 One mistake lost Reuben his inheritance, and that is what he is remembered for, but in the end, when the tribe of Reuben was set to cross with the other 11 tribes into the promised land, we see that ultimately, his line was redeemed as Moses prophesied over Reuben \u201cLet Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few\u201d (Deuteronomy 33:6).\u00a0 We don\u2019t see Reuben give up after he lost his inheritance, but rather continued in the best way he could, no matter what had happened in the past.\u00a0 We must persevere and forget the sins of the past, because our Lord and Savior certainly has.\u00a0 \u201cAnd I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins (Hebrews 8:12).<\/p>\n

CHET LETTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

The letter associated with this month is Chet.\u00a0 It is the 8th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and is a combination of two letters, the first letter Vav and the second Zayin.\u00a0 Vav represents the Yashar, or light that descends from God, and Zayin represents the Choser or light that ascends to God.\u00a0 It is a very powerful combination of letters bridged together to make Chet.\u00a0 We see in many cases in the Word of God the descent and ascent of the light of God, but most notably in the birth, death and resurrection of Yeshua Ha\u2019Mashiah.\u00a0 The number that pairs with this letter is 8, a very significant number in the Bible, and is related to a new beginning, a new order, or new era.\u00a0 8 comes after 7, the number of completion and perfection, making eight the start of something new.\u00a0 There were 8 creative words of God in 6 days, in Genesis chapter 1, verses 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26 speak of a new order. God rested on the 7th day and the 8th day was a new beginning (Genesis 2:2\u20133). Eight people were saved from the flood in Noah’s Ark in order to have a new beginning for mankind (Genesis 7:13).\u00a0 Jesus rose on the 8th day, the first day of the week, which was a new beginning for the world. (John 20:1-21). \u00a0 There were also 8 men, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, James, Peter, Jude and Paul who were chosen by God to enable us have the New Testament in written form. The Prince of Peace presented 8 beatitudes in His sermon on the mount to new believers destined for God’s kingdom (Matthew 5:3-11).\u00a0 This is the month of a new beginning, a new order, a fresh start.\u00a0 This can either be the beginning of a good start or a bad start, but that depends on the decisions we make.\u00a0 The Israelites in the time of Ezekiel had a choice to make, and there decision led to a very bad start to something new.\u00a0 It was their end that made way for a new generation.\u00a0 It was the death of a generation that allowed for the new generation to cross into the promised land.\u00a0 We are not the generation in the desert!\u00a0 No, we will see the promise and be witnesses and messengers for the King of Heaven, until his return.\u00a0 We must first make a personal decision if it will be the path of victory through Christ or defeat through the world, then we can come together and see to the fruition of all that has been written for such a time as this.<\/p>\n

CONSTELLATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The constellation of Tammuz is Cancer (The Crab).\u00a0 We see very clearly in God\u2019s word the important role played by the stars and the moon.\u00a0 \u201cHe made the moon to mark the seasons\u201d (Psalm 104:19). And God said, \u201cLet there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years\u201d(Genesis 1:14).<\/p>\n

The Hebrew word for both cancer and most commonly crab is Sartan.\u00a0 The Bible calls crab unclean to eat Leviticus 9:12.\u00a0 We ourselves are unclean without the Blood of the Lamb.\u00a0 Now that we are forgiven and made clean, we are no longer defined by what was, but instead refined by what we have done and have gone through.\u00a0 We must be like the crab and Live in the waters of God, the Holy Spirit, the presence of the Lord that is always certain and without doubt, always comforting and without worry, always hopeful and without fear.\u00a0 Just like the crab with its natural armor, we must always put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6: 10-20) that protects us from the lies of the principalities, powers and the dark forces of this world and put our heavenly arsenal into proper use to destroy the enemy at every turn. We will not lose faith at the last minute as the Hebrews did at Mount Sinai with the golden calf, reverting back to old ways.\u00a0 We as Believers, the light of the World, are not, and refuse to be, quitters.\u00a0 \u201cBlessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him\u201d (James 1:12).\u00a0 This is your month of breakthrough, a time to come out of the dark hour into the light of the dawn.<\/p>\n

STONE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stone of Tammuz is the Red Carnelian otherwise known as Sardius.\u00a0 It is a very special stone in the Word of God that represents the blood of Jesus, forgiveness, redemption and the fire of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 It is written in Revelation 4:2-3, \u201cImmediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One sitting on the throne.\u00a0 And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a Sardius in appearance.\u201d\u00a0 The Red Carnelian is also the first stone in the breastplate of the ephod worn by the high priest (Exodus 39:10).\u00a0 The stone known in the Hebrew as \u201cOdem\u201d and in the greek as \u201cSardius\u201d.\u00a0 In ancient times the Sardius or\u00a0 Red Carnelian stone was obtained from Sardis in Asia Minor.\u00a0 The Church of Sardis is one of the seven churches spoken to in Revelation 3.\u00a0 Yeshua said of the Church at Sardis, \u201c\u2018I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.\u00a0 Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God\u201d (Revelation 3:1-2).\u00a0 If you have been sleeping, it\u2019s time to wake up and finish the race. If you are just starting the race, now is the time to take your relationship with the Holy Spirit to the next level.\u00a0 Our deeds are not hidden from the Lord, so why try to hide from the world when it is only His opinion that really matters.\u00a0 Look to the King first and the rest will fall into place.\u00a0 \u201cBut your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.\u00a0 So don\u2019t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today\u2019s trouble is enough for today\u201d (Matthew 6:32-34).<\/p>\n

MESSAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spirit of God is calling us to enter into a season of pure worship, and as it ascends to the throne of the Almighty, our worship is going to go to another level, and take us to the highest places of heaven. As we maintain that level day and night, it will keep us from the temptation of idol worship that is often times so very subtle.\u00a0 This is the month to start operating in the anointing of Daniel.\u00a0 Even though he was living in Babylon, Babylon did not effect him.\u00a0 As we operate in this anointing, we will be free from Babylonian iniquity.\u00a0 Now is when we are being called to go to a new height of intercession like Moses did atop Mount Sinai, so that the spiritual walls protecting us will always be up, keeping us from the enemy that wishes to enter and destroy.\u00a0 This month the enemy will try to come in a sneaky way, telling you that because of the things of the past you cannot be who you are created to be, or fulfill your purpose and destiny.\u00a0 When this attack comes you will be prepared, and instead of the enemy stealing your purpose, identity and inheritance, you will receive it in an accelerated way, activating you to run instead of walk, and the Lord will begin to reveal to you the secret treasures both in the natural and in the Spirit (Jeremiah 33:3). A new beginning is coming for your life allowing you to operate in the power of resurrection.\u00a0 So, if you are sick, it is up to you to make the decision to prophesy with your mouth a new beginning of healing for your body.\u00a0 If you are broke, prophecy a new beginning of prosperity.\u00a0 This is a month of war.\u00a0 The Lord is calling you not as a soldier, but as a warrior, a Mighty Man of David, so that you can start killing your thousands.\u00a0 The Spirit of God is saying, look into the eyes of Jesus, because as you see His eyes like blazing torches (like a Red Carnelian of fire), I will destroy the Baals of your natural eyes so that I can open your spiritual eyes, and you will see what no man has seen.\u00a0 I want to show you what I am doing in your family, city and in the nations of the earth.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
