In a graphic
materialization of the prophecy in Zechariah as explained in the Talmud, foxes
are now being seen playing at the Temple Mount.
Visitors to the area
have observed the group of about a dozen foxes in the southwestern area of the
Western Wall for the last three days in the early hours of the day.
Wild foxes at the site of the destroyed Temple are described
specifically in the Jewish Talmud.
This Talmud, which was
written 2,000 years ago as a sign that Jerusalem will be rebuilt. This precise
scenario was discussed in the Talmud (Makkot 24b). Rabban Gamliel, Rabbi Elazar ben Azaria, Rabbi
Joshua and Rabbi Akiva went up to Jerusalem.
When they reached the
Temple Mount, they saw a fox emerging from the place of the Holy of Holies.
The others started
weeping but Rabbi Akiva laughed. Rabbi Akiva asked the rabbis why they cried
and they explained that to see a wild animal in such a holy place, a place
which was forbidden to unfit men, was distressing. Rabbi Akiva noted that this
was precisely the reason he laughed. He explained that the fact that the
prophecy of Uriah related by the Prophet Micah had come to be was proof that
the prophecy of Zechariah would also come to be.
The Prophet Micah described the total destruction of Jerusalem.
Assuredly, because of you Tzion shall be plowed as a field, And Yerushalayim shall become heaps of ruins, And the Har Habayit A
shrine in the woods. Micah 3:12
The Prophet Zechariah described the return of Jerusalem to its
days of glory.
Thus said the lord of Hosts: There shall yet be old men and
women in the squares of Yerushalayim, each with staff in hand because of their great
age. And the squares of the city shall be crowded with boys and girls playing
in the squares. Zechariah 4-5
As the focus of Jewish
prayer and the site of the future Temple, the Temple Mount has frequently been
the scene of prophetic images.
In July 2018, a large segment
from one of the stones of the Wall suddenly fell, barely missing a woman.
Last year during the
morning prayers of the last
day Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), a strange mist rose from the ground and
covered the Dome of the Rock.
Just a few weeks earlier, a snake crawled out from between the ancient
stones. At around the
same time, strange sinkholes appeared adjacent to the Shaar HaRachamim which the
Palestinians later turned into a mosque. The fox video is below.
