"By our own tradition, the moisture at the Western Wall of the Holy Temple indicates the impending redemption of the people and land of Israel, the rebuilding of the Temple and the coming of Moshiach ben David, speedily and in our time, amen."
Gemara [Yoma 77b-78a] :
R' Pinchas said in the name of Rav Huna of Tzippori: The spring that issues from the Holy of Holies initially resembles the antennae of locust. Once it reaches the entrance of the Sanctuary it swells and becomes as wide as the thread of the warp. Once it reaches the entrance of the Antechamber, it becomes as wide as the thread of the woof. Once it reaches the entrance of the Courtyard it becomes as wide as the mouth of a small flask.
And this is the meaning of what we learned in the Mishna [Middos 2:6] R' Eliezer Ben Yaakov says: By this gate a stream of water, as wide as that which issues from a flask, will emerge from under the threshold of the Temple. From here onward [the stream] will rise unabatedly until it reaches the entrance of the house of David [i.e. Har Tzion, Mount Zion in Jerusalem - Rashi]. Once it reaches the house of David it becomes a swiftly flowing stream, in which zavin, zavos, niddos, and childbearing women will immerse and cleanse themselves from their tumah. As it is stated: On that day there will be a spring opened up for the house of David and for all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for cleaning and for purification. [Zechariah 13:1]

The Jordanian-run Muslim Waqf won't let the Israeli Jews even change a leaky faucet in the Wailing Wall washrooms without calling for a bloody riot claiming that the Jews are attempting to rebuild the Third Temple. Which is why the entire 36 acre Temple Mount structure is in such a parlous state ready to collapse given a really good storm or mild earthquake. The obliteration of the mosques is indeed a prerequisite for the fulfilment of Ezekiel 40-48!
ReplyDeletehmm maybe its just water, not that uncommon

Zechariah chapter 14 talks about an earthquake that splits Temple Mount towards the north and south resulting in the Living Waters being poured out. The earthquake is likened to His Feet standing on the Mount of Olives. HaShem will settle this for "all" to see.......oh for us to witness HaShem's omnipotent glorification of His Holy Name !!!!!
There was very heavy rain to the point of severe flooding in some areas last week.
ReplyDeleteWell, it ends up to be a burst pipe. Haval ?
