I'm surprised there's no mention of this here yet.

Of course many are speculating whether this is a sign of Bayis Shlishi. Whatever the case is, may we indeed merit the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash very soon.

My first thought was, "It's just the top half of LA, sticking out through the smog." Sounds like I was pretty close. Wink

I believe this (it's in Yiddish, sorry for those who don't read or understand the language).

I couldn't attach pictures, you can search online for the picture seen in China yesterday, and people in England have reported seeing similar images today. Of course the web is full of scientists and others explaining the "optical illusion" and whatnot, but I believe it's what the mekubalim said! Hoping!

It's just standard stuff. You know moshiach is coming, it's the third Bais hamikdash ready to descend, etc. Even though it looks nothing like a Bais hamikdash.

The rest of the text is very uninformed, saying something like this has never happened before (it has happened so often that there's a name for this optical illusion, "fata Morgana.") also saying that there are tons of pictures and clips (there aren't, there's only one) and a little bit of disparagement at g*yim in general thrown in for good measure, because why not.

That's the gist.

This is what it actually is:

I was trying so hard to remember the name of the optical illusion, it was driving me crazy and I REFUSED to look it up. (Trying to renew som bain cells as I age.) Anyway it came to me in the grocery store this morning.

It's a mirage, combined and projected onto China's epic pollution.

I repeat the question. Which mekubalim?
