The Month of Consolation and The Journeys of Our Lives

This enigmatic month is called in Hebrew 'Menachem Av,' which means 'The Consoling Father.' Ostensibly the name doesn't fit the reality of these days leading up to the fast day of Tisha B'Av, observed next week, which marks the destruction of the Holy Temple. Yet the vision of this month is the secret of the absolute Oneness of God, the vision of true reality: a loving Father calling His children back to Him with kindness and compassion. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman explore the inner meaning of the cycles of our lives that lead from destruction to rebuilding.

I am sorry you are dealing with difficult times. May this bring the family closer and some unknown chain of beautiful events comes to fruition because of this loss. It is never known why something like this happens and how this fits into the plan. Thank you and sorry. You are very strong to continue your work.

[@canadianpatriotsagainstthe7479]

Sooo..a couple of years ago things got weird. Visions of past and future and other such things. Then I had a visitor appear from a portal after I looked up and asked "who am I?". Golden breast plate, burgundy tunic underneath that ended above the knees, pale like and albino, white hair, glowing, eyes shining like stars. He replied "David, you are a son of God", and then vanished in a flash. Shortly after, a snake eyed demon connected telepathically. He quickly disconnected but I asked for help and saw his head cut off by a sword. My name in gematria stated " the name of a direct male descendant of King David". I was born May 1rst, 1976, making my birth stone the emerald. My dad was a red head; I had blonde hair and then it went reddish blonde and then dark. I had red hair when I saw myself die at Thermopylae. A gifted lady said I have apostle energy and was present at the crucifixion; my middle name is John.

Sounds like the beginnings of a fascinating novel....!

[@canadianpatriotsagainstthe7479]

@@ahavahyisrael It's amazing to me...people hope and hope and pray and pray and see and see..and then when it is in front of them like a mural....they turn away. And that is why......

[@analysisonlight605]

What are those 42 journeys?

[@sharoncarolbrand1645]

It's written in the torah try looking on the Chabad site or Aish for easier explanation

[@RandallHicks-xv8sf]

May Hashem forever bless you, Rabbi and Jim, and all your families. Brother Jim...you stated it so perfectly...you said we need Israel more than Israel needs us. That is the truth of the matter in considering Israel and the USA. From southeast Tennessee, USA...I too say...our country needs Israel more than they need us. Amein.
