Tonight’s Spectacular Meteor Shower and Asteroid “Appear Immediately Before Messiah”

“Before the great and terrible day of Hashem comes, I will set portents in the sky and on earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.” Joel 3:3 (The Israel Bible™)



An especially spectacular meteor shower seen around the globe this week and a near-miss by a potentially apocalyptic meteor are just a few of the pre-Messianic astronomical signs that are to be expected in the near future, said a prominent kabbalist rabbi from the holy city of Tzfat.

“The prophecies, the Talmud, and the Zohar all explicitly describe astronomical phenomenon that will appear immediately before the Moshiach (Messiah) arrives,” Rabbi Eyal Riess, Director of the Tzfat Kabbalah Center, told Breaking Israel News. “Asteroids and meteors are clearly among them as signs of change and as elements that bring about the change.”

The Geminid meteor shower will be visible around the world on Wednesday night, with as many as 120 meteors appearing per hour. A waning moon will facilitate viewing, and because of the darker sky, the meteor shower will be brighter than most.

The Geminid shower occurs when the Earth passes through the debris of an asteroid, a small rocky planet generating brighter meteors. The asteroid, known as the 3200 Phaethon, will also make an appearance along with the meteor shower, passing very close to the earth in astronomical terms.

Phaethon is the third-largest asteroid ever discovered and was first observed by a NASA satellite in 1983. The asteroid will reach its closest point to the Earth on Saturday night, coming within 0.069 astronomical units — about 6.4 million miles. According to NASA, this encounter with Phaethon is the closest since 1974, and the closest it will be until 2093.

Though these astronomical appearances are not uncommon, Rabbi Riess believes they are taking on a new significance.

“Using Jewish sources, we have determined that according to the calendar, we are objectively coming to the end-of-days,” Rabbi Riess told Breaking Israel News. “In kabbalistic terms, we are one hour before sunset. Very soon, the Sabbath of Messiah will begin.”

With a diameter of about three miles, Phaethon is half the size of the asteroid scientists believe struck the earth and led to the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. It has an eccentric orbit which crosses the Earth’s, leading NASA to classify Phaethon as “potentially hazardous”.

Even its name pays tribute to its destructive potential. Scientists named the asteroid after the son of the pagan Greek sun god Helios, who legend holds pulled the sun across the sky, losing control of the sun and nearly destroying the Earth.

Despite the NASA warning, Rabbi Riess believed that any astronomical event connected to the Messianic process would bring with it healing and not harm.

“Everything that is happening today, politics and natural phenomenon, they connect one part of the world to all the others, and connect the beginning of time to the end of days,” Rabbi Riess said. “Messiah is part of creation, not destruction, and this is the specific message in these celestial signs.”

The rabbi cited a verse from Isaiah to illustrate this point.

And the light of the moon shall become like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall become sevenfold, like the light of the seven days, when Hashem binds up His people’s wounds and heals the injuries it has suffered. Isaiah 30:26

There does not seem to be any danger from Phaethon this week, but in 20193 it will pass within 1.85 million miles of the earth. That may sound like a wide margin, but in astronomical terms, it will be a very close call.

Jim Willie Worldwide Collapse Has Begun!

North Korea missile launch this WEEKEND

Fears the despot could be gearing up for another military provocation have been heightened in recent days after the DPRK’s supreme leader called his top army and government officials to a meeting yesterday.

And an ominous visit to Mount Paektu – often a place used for contemplation by Kim before he launches attacks on his detractors – further raised suspicions of an impending threat.

Now highly regarded North Korean experts at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington DC have warned a test is likely to take place soon.

Analysis carried out by CSIS last month claimed there was an “elevated chance of provocations” in December, while an international expert from the think tank said a “ballistic missile test” was “expected on 17th of December”.

GETTYNorth Korea have long used anniversaries as excuses to test fire weapons of mass destruction

The date coincides with the death of the hermit kingdom’s former autocratic rules Kim Jong-il – the current ruling Kim’s father.

North Korea have long used anniversaries, including the founding of their military and key dates for the Kim dynasty, as excuses to test fire their potentially deadly weaponry.

It comes after an escalation in tests as Kim looks to secure his legacy by making North Korea a World War 3 ready nuclear state.

Kim’s regime have fired 23 missiles in 15 tests since February – three of which were ICBMs.

PROPHECY ALERT JERUSALEM 7 YEAR COVENANT

Artificial intelligence is now so complex its creators can’t trust why it makes decisions

Artificial intelligence is seeping into every nook and cranny of modern life. AI might tag your friends in photos on Facebook or choose what you see on Instagram, but materials scientists and NASA researchersare also beginning to use the technology for scientific discovery and space exploration.

But there’s a core problem with this technology, whether it’s being used in social media or for the Mars rover: The programmers that built it don’t know why AI makes one decision over another.

Modern artificial intelligence is still new. Big tech companies have only ramped up investment and research in the last five years, after a decades-old theory was shown to finally work in 2012. Inspired by the human brain, an artificial neural network relied on layers of thousands to millions of tiny connections between “neurons” or little clusters of mathematic computation, like the connections of neurons in the brain. But that software architecture came with a trade-off: Since the changes throughout those millions of connections were so complex and minute, researchers aren’t able to exactly determine what is happening. They just get an output that works.

The World Is About To Change And Those Who Are Sleeping Better Wake Up

Former Facebook executive, who has banned his own children from the site, says social media is ripping society apart

A former Facebook executive has spoken out against the social network he helped to create, saying it is 'ripping society apart'.

The comments were made by Chamath Palihapitiya, who joined Facebook in 2007 and became its vice president for user growth.

He says he feels 'tremendous guilt' for the influence Facebook has had and its ability to manipulate users, suggesting users take a break from using social media altogether.

The venture capitalist, who has banned his own three young children from the site, took particular aim at the ways people communicate via social media, including hearts, likes, and the thumbs-up.

Mr Palihapitiya believes this has the power to boost the spread of misinformation and allow people with nefarious intentions to manipulate users.

He cited an incident in India where hoax messages about kidnappings shared on WhatsApp led to the lynching of seven innocent people, according to reports in The Verge.

During his talk, Mr Palihapitiya called out not only Facebook, but Silicon Valley’s entire system of funding.

He claimed money pumped into the region would be better spent addressing problems like climate change and disease.
