Sumerian Tablets

 

The Sumerian cuneiform tablets have been translated by AI, and an interesting verse was quoted from it, referring to the end times.

"When the machine of thought awakens, the circle will close

the words of the sky will again be heard by the clay"

Machine of thought is interpreted as referring to AI.

"the clay" means humans

An Eighth of an Eighth

"I have become unworthy through all the acts of kindness" [Vayishlach 32:11]

The Vilna Gaon was once asked to explain Chazal's statement [Sotah 5a]  "Said R'Chiya bar Ashi in the name of Rav: A Talmid chacham must have one-eighth of an eighth [of haughtiness]".  

Rashi explains that it is essential for a talmid chacham to possess this minute amount of pride in order to prevent those who are ignorant in Torah learning from making light of him and his words.  Why did Chazal choose specifically the measure of one-eighth of an eighth?

The term "one eighth of an eighth" answered the Gaon, is not a reference to a particular measure. Rather it is hinting at the eighth verse of the eighth parsha of the Torah.  The eighth portion in the Torah is Parshas Vayishlach, and the eighth verse of the parsha [32:11] begins with the word "katonti" - "I am very small".

While a talmid chacham must possess a certain amount of arrogance, it must be a "very small" amount.

Behind the Sun

Referring back to the Two Suns post, and the gas giant behind our sun.... you can clearly see it here in this video.  Now the guy talking is quite frantic with excitement or fear, I'm not sure which, and he may say a few suspect words, and there is some kind of female singing halfway, but you can turn the sound off if you want and just look at it.  He thinks it's a "mothership" - it's not a mothership, it's a gas giant.

Two Suns and a Rainbow Moon

I don't know where this was taken, but it's a genuine photo, I've checked it out, definitely not AI.

Original can be seen here.

Moon over Parkhills Missouri the other night.   Untouched, not AI, no filter.

I know people look at these photos and think they're made up.  I can assure you they are not.  This is constantly happening above our heads.  Once you have seen something with your own eyes, you'll understand.  

And here's another one we see all the time now, the giant halo around the sun and the blue line.   The halo was hardly ever seen until recently, and now it's being seen daily.  The blue line is something that's only been seen recently and that is also happening daily.

This is what is really going on.

Small in His Own Eyes

"[My merits] have become small" [Vayishlach 32:11]

When G-d shows His kindness to a person, it brings that person closer to G-d, causing his feeling of self-importance to diminish, since "everything is like nothing before G-d".

Therefore, it was precisely due to the fact that G-d had been so kind to Yaakov that he became small in his own eyes - for the kindness brought him closer to G-d, and so he felt that he was not worthy of G-d's promise to be saved.

How could Yaakov the patriarch fear that "perhaps... I have become soiled with sin" [Rashi v. 12] when surely he was aware that he had not sinned?

A tzadik is not static - he constantly grows spiritually from one level to the next.  After reaching a higher level, his previous actions are spiritually deficient compared to his current standing. They are thus considered as "sins", metaphorically speaking. [The Hebrew word for sin - chet - can also mean ''deficiency'' [see Kings 11:21]  Thus Yaakov was worried that perhaps due to such ''sins'' he was not worthy to be saved.
