eBook of Eicha (Lamentations)

Excellent!

exact---easy to follow---meaning given that is new to me

Me too, I believe the Messiah will return while I am alive and reading this my hopes are really strengthened. What a joy to end these Lamentations over Israel as a nation, over Jews as God's people and over Jerusalem as God's holy city when Messiah returns! Come back Lord, Come back! We lament together with Jews all over the world. Won't You remember mercy and come back!

I feel so encouraged to know that Jews still mourn for the destructiuon of the temple to date.

I'm a 70 year old Christian, I have never heard that Jewish tradition teaches that the Messiah will be born on the 9th of Av, this is absolutely amazing to know, I have to ask other people if they know about this. I have felt since I was a young boy that I would be alive when the Messiah returned, the older I became the stronger that feeling has been, some how I just knew that He would return in my life time. After reading this article I know that His return could be even closer than I realized.
