It may be the same one. This is, however, the first I saw of this story.

Wow...interesting video clip. The stone was already cracked and crooked in the wall before it fell.

So someone estimated 100 kg (220 lbs) for that boulder? I’d guess more like at least double that. That was a close call with death for that woman.

I’ve wondered in the past why they don’t clear out the vegetation, which causes deterioration, from the cracks in the wall. Maybe they will start now, and apply some fresh mortar.

[Third Temple Now!]

Careful what you wish for, FRiend. There are other things that shall come when that Third Temple exists. Things that will mark (pun not intended but appropriate) the 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy.

It WILL come. That is for certain.

No offense is intended. Simply to inform. :)

"...I’d guess more like double that..."


Exactly. I had to rewatch the video to realize it was a HUGE boulder that fell. Way more than 100 kg / 220 lbs for sure.

There’s a blood moon eclipse and Mars directly below it on Friday. But it will only be seen from the “old world” not the new so no show for us.

Not that anything can be proven by it, but is it visible in Israel? Just curious TIA.
