Summary

Siyum Rambam Hilchot Ta'aniyot.

Three levels in nullifying fasts in the Future,

The unique significance of Asarah B'Tevet and the hint in Parshat Vayigash.

All these [[commemorative] fasts will be nullified in the Messianic era and, indeed ultimately, they will be transformed into holidays and days of rejoicing and celebration, as [[Zechariah 8:19] states: "Thus declares the L-rd of Hosts, 'The fast of the fourth [[month], the fast of the fifth [[month], the fast of the seventh [[month], and the fast of the tenth [[month] will be [[times of] happiness and celebration and festivals for the House of Judah. And they shall love truth and peace.'
