So the time is coming, declares the Lord, when no one will say, "As the Lord lives who brought up the Israelites from the land of Egypt." Instead, they will say, "As the Lord lives who brought up the descendants of the people of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where he has banished them so that they can live in their own land." (Jeremiah 23:7-8 Common English Bible)
"For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you back. (Isaiah 54:7 BSB)
Today is the 9th of Av (evening of 2022-08-06 Saturday till evening of 2022-08-07 Sunday), also called Tisha B'Av. How shall we greet a Jew on this day? Happy Tisha B'Av or sad Tisha B'Av?
Maybe it should be "Happy Tisha B'Av!" because every Tisha B'Av is an opportunity for God to prove that Israel is indestructible. All Palestinians please take note.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me," declares the LORD. (Isaiah 54:17 BSB)
Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar - the Lord of hosts is his name: "If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the Lord, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever." Thus says the Lord: "If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the Lord." (Jeremiah 31:35-37 ESV)
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Malachi 3:6 KJV)
