Oh, for goodness sake, is this really in breaking news?
If it’s true, it’s definitely breaking news.
Why did you stop to read it? It’s not a big thing, move along if you don’t like it. Unless of course you are the FR police dept.
To many of us, it is breaking news. If you include G-D in your life, it is Big News. If it is not important to you.... well then, fine- don’t read it. But do not ridicule those who believe that it is. You can choose to believe it or not. America, is wonderful that way (at least for now....).
As for “is it real?” Well.... if you study the scriptures and have been following the prophecies, signs, and the writings of the Holy Niviim (the Hebrew Prophets)- and there hundreds of them, then you will notice that they have been taking place, like clockwork, and exactly as written.
The Rabbis who made these announcements are not idiots. They are noted, widely respected, Rabbinic scholars. They do not make statements like this, unless there is damn good reason to.
But please show some kindness and respect for those who take this seriously.
This belongs in breaking news.
