Ecclesiastes 1:9 reads in the NLT, “History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new.”
We see world-wide events happen in cycles. We see from Israel’s history that the enemy’s plans seem to fall on certain times. For instance, both Temples were destroyed on the same Hebrew date, Tisha B’Av, the 9th day of the month of Av. Scientists and meteorologists understand cycles. This does not mean something ‘will’ happen, but for us to be watchful and pray.
April 19 is one of those cycle times and I am asking you to please keep our nation and Israel in prayer. Below is a chart of happenings that I have found. I hope you find it helpful.
