P043 The Fifth Month
Jer 52:12 In the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was also the nineteenth year of King N'vukhadretzar, king of Bavel, N'vuzar'adan, the commander of the guard and a close associate of the king of Bavel, entered Yerushalayim.
Jer 52:13 He burned down the house of Adonai, the royal palace and all the houses in Yerushalayim — every notable person's house he burned to the ground.
The fifth month should be a month of grace. To most people from the seed of Avraham it has become a month of terror. We see that the first house of Adonai was burned to the ground on the 10th day of the fifth month. In this message, we will explore the fifth month and what Adonai is trying to say before the fall Holy Days arrive. In the fifth month these things occurred;
1. In 586 BCE the First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians, led by Nebechadnezzar. 100,000 Jews perished, and millions were exiled.
2. On the same day 656 years later, in 70 CE the Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans, led by Titus. Again many Jews died and were exiled.
3. 65 years later, in 135 CE, the Bar Kochba revolt was crushed by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. over 100,000 Jews were slaughtered.
4. The Temple area and its surroundings were plowed under by the Roman general Turnus Rufus. Jerusalem was rebuilt as a pagan city access was forbidden to Jews.
5. Pope Urban II declared the First Crusade. Tens of thousands of Jews were killed, and many Jewish communities were obliterated.
6. In 1290 this day marked the first nation-wide rejection of Jews when the official decree expelling them from England was signed.
7. On the same date in 1492 one of the greatest upheavals in Jewish history occurred when the large Jewish community in Spain was expelled.
8. Jews were first ordered into a ghetto on this date in 1555 when the Jews of Rome were ordered to live in a district near the Tiber.
9. W.W.I broke out on Tisha B’Av in 1914 when Germany declared war on Russia. German resentment from the war set the stage for the Holocaust.
10. In 1941 on the same day Reinhard Heydrich was ordered to carry out the “final solution” for European Jewry.
