In Iran today, July 14 is Appointment of the Prophet Day, a national holiday.

Maybe Israel will assist Iran in meeting their prophet head-on.

There is a bridge very near us here called the July 14th Bridge. It crosses the Tigris River in central Baghdad.

However, in Baghdad, it is July 15th. ;-)

"In Iran today, July 14 is Appointment of the Prophet Day, a national holiday."

Interesting point. Another observation, for what it's worth is that July 13th was 17 Tammuz on the Hebrew Calendar. This is noted for four great tragedies that occurred in Israel on that date:

1. Moses broke the tablets with the ten commandments after returning to find Israel worshipping the golden calf. (1313 BCE)

2. Temple service disrupted. Daily sacrifice was discontinued in the First Temple three weeks before the Babylonians destroyed it. (423 BCE)

3. Jerusalem walls breached by Romans, leading to the destruction of the Second Temple some three weeks later. (69 CE)

It will be interesting to watch how this pans out about three weeks from now. August 3rd is the end of the three weeks. On that date, Jews mark the destruction of both temples and the condemning of the Exodus generation to die in the desert. There might be some significant events coming our way in the next few weeks.

The calendar info comes from http://www.chabad.org.
