Day 1 - Counting Btwn The Straits!

Lamentations 1:1-7,  Exodus 32:19,  Psalms 30:1-5.

 

Lamentations 1:1-7.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Jerusalem in Affliction. .                       Lamentations! \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

How the city sits solitary, that was full of people!  She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations!  She who was a princess among the provinces has become tributary!
2 She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks;  among all her lovers she has none to comfort her:  All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they are become her enemies.
3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude;  she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest:  all her persecutors overtook her within the straits.
4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly;  all her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh:  her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
5 Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper;  for YHWH has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions:  her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.
6 From the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed:  her princes are become like harts that find no pasture,  they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old:  when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and no one helped her,  The adversaries saw her, they mocked at her desolations.

 

Event: Moses saw golden calf & broke Tablets.

 

Exodus 32:19.

19 It happened, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.

 

But The Most High transforms defeats into Victory:

Psalms 30:1-5.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the house of David.. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

  A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.    I will extol you, YHWH, for you have raised me up,  and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 YHWH my ELOHIM, I cried to you,  and you have healed me.
3 YHWH, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.  You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing praise to YHWH, you holy ones of his.  Give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment.  His favor is for a lifetime.  Weeping may stay for the night,  but joy comes in the morning.

Counting Between the Straits - The Three Weeks

 

The fast days of 17 Tammuz and 9 Av, and the time between them, commemorate the tragic process of the destruction of the two Holy Temples in Jerusalem.

The Three Weeks or Bein ha-Metzarim (Hebrew: בין המצרים, "Between the Straits" cf "In Dire Straits") is a period of mourning commemorating the destruction of the first and second Jewish Temples. The Three Weeks start on the seventeenth day of the Jewish month of Tammuz — the fast of Shiva Asar B'Tammuz — and end on the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av — the fast of Tisha B'Av, which occurs exactly three weeks later. Both of these fasts commemorate events surrounding the destruction of the Jewish Temples and the subsequent exile of the Jews from the land of Israel. According to conventional chronology, the destruction of the first Temple, by Nebuchadnezzar II, occurred in 586 BCE, and the second, by the Romans, in 70 CE. Jewish chronology, however, traditionally places the first destruction at about 421 BCE. (See Missing years (Hebrew calendar) for more information.)     From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
