Hiyah,
Did you know that the Jewish date of 9 AV (on which many significant things happen to Israel) 5771 happens to coincide with Singapore’s national day in 2011 i.e. 9 August 2011 ?

Amazing huh ?
One of things which happen on 9 AV or Tisha B’AV for the Jewish nation was that there was a lot of expulsion of Jews which happened on that date.
You know what?
The Separation Agreement which expelled Singapore from Malaysia was signed on 7 August 1965 !!!

Amazingly !!! That was the 9 AV for 1965 ! See the above timeanddate.com link again !
Also, the last time 9 AV coincided with 9 August was in 1981 !
Guess what ?
Singapore table tennis star Li Jiawei was born on 9 August 1981 !

That makes Jia Wei – 30 years old ! The age of where the Jewish priests would commence ministry.
Also Jia Wei ‘s name is very inspirational . I think it means beautiful and majestic / towering !
Fits in with New Creation (Psalm 65:11) Church’s CROWNED GOODNESS church theme for 2011 !
A new nation was born in tears in 1965 but she reaches by God’s Grace to maturity with the crowned goodness of God!
Recall also, that Jiawei has powered the NATIONAL (not singles) team to silver and then gold in table-tennis competitions !
Wow ! God is Good !
Shalom,
Terence YEO
Lord pull Singapore out of Malaysia for a purpose. In His Glory, Jesus shall come! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen Amen!
