Traditionally the Temple Mount Faithful attempt to set up a foundation stone for the Third Temple on Tisha Be'av, and the police routinely prevent them from doing so. The occasion for this street theater is the anniversary of the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE and that of the Second Temple in 70 CE, both said to have occurred on the same calendar date.

Tisha B'Av (the ninth day of the Jewish calendar month of Av) is considered to be a "taboo" day -- a day that we are fearful that something bad is going to happen. This feeling is justified for history has proven itself to be true.

Historical Events on Tisha B'Av
1) G-d told the Children of Israel that the oldest generation would not enter the Land.
2) The First Temple built by King Solomon was destroyed by Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BCE.
3) The Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE.
4) The city of Betar was captured and thousands of Jews were killed in 135 CE.
5) The Roman emperor made a pagan temple on the site of the Temple and rebuilt Jerusalem as a pagan city in 136 CE.

no no..there is a very very distinct process by which this will unfold,...it will NOT vary from scripture at all.
I believe an eclipse is scheduled for the 9 of Av

That 'taboo' time is soon upon us again and, no doubt, another attempt will be made to set the stones in place, but isn't it a bit early? What date will Tisha B'Av fall on this year? Isn't it usually in July or August compared the Gentile calendar?

Well I see someone bet me to the question, so I'll just second that!
