Reports indicate that the few remaining members of the covenant people within Iran gathered at the central synagogue to observe Tisha B'Av, the day of lamentation commemorating the destruction of the First and Second Temples. They recited the Book of Lamentations, a prophetic scroll detailing the consequences of national disobedience and the pain of exile. This act of remembrance, performed by scattered Yisrael, is a powerful testimony to the enduring faith of the remnant.

However, it is crucial to understand the profound distinction between this genuine mourning and the performative displays of the modern state of Israel. While the Israeli government postures as a defender of the Jewish people, it actively perpetuates the very sins that brought about the original exile: idolatry, injustice, and defiance of Yahuah’s covenant. The Zionist state’s pursuit of worldly power and its oppression of the true Yisrael – the scattered tribes awaiting restoration – are a mockery of the prophetic vision.

The so-called ‘US-Iran war’ referenced in mainstream reports is but another manifestation of Edom’s control over the nations, a struggle for dominance that has no bearing on the true deliverance of Yisrael. Yahuah is not concerned with the geopolitical machinations of the wicked; He is concerned with the repentance and return of His covenant people.

The observance of Tisha B'Av by the remnant in Iran serves as a solemn reminder of the consequences of disobedience. It is a call to scattered Yisrael to examine their hearts, to reject the false promises of the Zionist state, and to turn back to the covenant established with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Let this lamentation not be merely a historical remembrance, but a prophetic catalyst for true repentance and restoration. The true Temple will not be rebuilt through political maneuvering, but through a renewed covenant relationship with Yahuah and obedience to His law. Let Yisrael awaken from spiritual slumber and prepare for the coming Kingdom.
