“Grieving the Wrong Ruins" (Tish B’Av) - Shabbat - 08/02/2025

Grieving the Wrong Ruins: Tisha B’Av | A Prophetic Wake-Up Call for the Body of Messiah

Tisha B’Av—the 9th of Av—is remembered for the destruction of the Temples, exile, and centuries of Jewish tragedy. But are we grieving the right ruins? In this powerful and deeply prophetic message, we recognize that the true devastation wasn’t just the fall of stone buildings—it was the departure of God's Presence long before the first wall crumbled.

From Genesis to Jeremiah, from Ezekiel’s visions in exile to the promise of restoration, this teaching uncovers how God's purposes were already at work while the exiles wept, how stones don’t matter when the Presence departs, and how God is planting again—even when the future looks lost.

If you’ve ever wondered why God allows suffering, what to do when the familiar is stripped away, or how to discern when religion has become empty ritual—this message is for you. And if your heart breaks for those still wandering in spiritual exile, this will stir you to action.

📖 Key Scriptures: Lamentations 3, Genesis 3, Deuteronomy 30, Jeremiah 7 & 24, Ezekiel 1, 10, 11, 33, Isaiah 1, Micah 6, Acts 4, Ezra 1

🔥 Let this Tisha B’Av become more than tradition—let it become a holy confrontation with our own hearts, our nation, and the presence of the Living God.
