A who’s who of devotees to Jerusalem’s Western Wall

Judaism’s ‘holy’ shrine, the Western or Wailing Wall in Jerusalem has nothing to do with God or His Holy Church. God ordained Jerusalem’s destruction by Roman General Titus in 70 AD, seemingly fulfilling Jesus Christ’s prophecy of Jerusalem’s imminent destruction where not one stone would be left upon another. The Temple was utterly destroyed and one million Jews perished in the siege. Centuries later, when the Jews attempted to rebuild the Temple under Julian the Apostate, large fireballs came up from the Earth and burned them to death. Glowing crosses appears on the onlookers. The Temple reconstruction was completely abandoned and they never tried again.

And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

—Matthew 24:22

Furthermore, Christ said He left Jerusalem desolate, so this supposed Wailing Wall is nothing but a mockery of God and his decree to destroy Jerusalem and the Levitical system.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets,and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

—Matthew 23:27-28

So, why the devotion to this ridiculous wall (it is doubtful that the Western Wall is a remnant of the original Temple) where Orthodox Jews can be seen rocking back and forth in front of it as a way of simulating sex with the Shekinah? We can only conclude that it is a rite of passage for this Satanic world, much like wearing the Kabbalah red string or being a Freemason. Demonstrate your loyalty to the Synagogue of Satan by touching this wall.

Without further adieu: (list will be updated as more photos are discovered)

  1. One million Jews killled, you say. Why should I believe that? That sounds like a lot of people, especially coming from that era. Jews lie about almost everything. The only reason Jews tell any truth is to set people up to lie to them later.

    Reply

    1. That is according to Flavius Josephus, who is considered a reliable historian. But I think you are missing the point here. The more Jews that die here only proves God’s condemnation of Jewry, not the other way around.

      Reply

      1. I understand that the more Jews who dies there only proves God’s condemnation of Jewry. Sorry but I have a hard time believing in a Jewish god.
        As I stated I have sympathies for Catholicism but I do not believe that God is a Jew, that the prophets were all Jews and then Jews suddenly turned bad. I tried to give Christianity a try but I just do not believe it, I can’t believe it. Flavins Maximus was a Jewish historian, that does not mean he is lying.

        I think the best thing I can do from now on, as far as conversing with you goes is to keep my disbelief to myself. It is just that recently I have thought since I have attacked Protestantism that I was giving you the impression I am a believer. I think there are good arguments for the existence of God. I even question the theory of evolution. I thought since we converse so often that I would just be honest with you and to myself I do not believe Christianity is true.
        I will never again instigate an attack on your faith and I am open to you trying to convince me I am wrong, without me making any personal attacks, if I am worth the time. I simply find it impossible to believe the Christian story. I have not believed since I was a child and with what I now know about Jews and Christianity’s undeniable Jewish origins I just can’t believe in the supernatural claims made by Christianity, or life after death.
        As far as non Catholics or Eastern Orthodox (Protestants) who claim to be Christians I outdated not want to be in the same room with them. They seem to
        be unpleasant people and their beliefs can easily be disproven by the book that they worship and their theology, if you can call it theology is uninteresting. Whether I believe in Catholicism or not, it is the foundation of western civilization and I have respect for many Catholics, even some clergy. I think Protestantism is one of the reasons Americans are the laughing stock of the world and the most politically ignorant Jew worshipping people on the planet.

        1. Ezekiel 5

          5 Thus says the Lord God: Behold, this is Jerusalem, which I have placed among the Gentiles, surrounded by foreign countries. 6 But it has gone against my laws with greater perversity than the Gentiles, and against my statutes more than the countries that surround it, because the Israelites1 despised my laws and did not follow my statutes.
          7 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have been more rebellious than the Gentiles who surround you, and have not followed my statutes, and have not kept my laws, and have not even observed the laws of the nations which surround you – 8 therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I also come against you, and in the sight of the Gentiles I will execute judgment on you. 9 Because of your abominations I will perform on you what I have never done and will never do again. 10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you, and the sons shall eat their fathers2; I will execute judgments upon you: all your remnant I will scatter to all the winds. 11 Therefore – on my life – the oracle of the Lord God: I declare, because you have defiled my temple with all your abominations3 and with all your abominations, I also will reject without looking at mercy, and I also will not spare. 12 One third of yours shall die from pestilence and perish in your midst from famine; one third shall fall around you by the sword, and one third I will scatter to all the winds; moreover I will draw the sword over them. 13 Then my anger will be appeased. I will appease My fierceness upon them, and I will desist from wrath. Then they shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken in my fervor, when I have given vent to my anger against them. 14 I will make you a wilderness and a laughing stock of the nations that surround you, in front of all passersby. 15 You will become an object of ridicule and mockery, a warning and a terror to the nations that surround you, when I execute all judgments on you in wrath and fervor and severe punishment. I, the Lord, have said. 16 When I send against you the arrows of famine as destroyers, which have as their goal annihilation, when I send them to your destruction, I will multiply the famine among you, and I will break your support4 of bread. 17 I will send famine upon you, and wild beasts that will orphan you; and morass and violent death will come upon you, and I will bring the sword upon you. I, the Lord, have said.”

          9 And he said [to me]:
          “Go and speak to this people:
          Listen diligently, but without understanding,
          Look attentively, but without discernment!
          10 Harden the heart of this people,
          anesthetize its ears,
          Blind their eyes,
          so that they cannot see with their eyes
          nor with their ears hear,
          and his heart shall not understand,
          so that he will not be converted
          and be not healed. “5

        2. “I tried to give Christianity a try but I just do not believe it, I can’t believe it.”

          Labels aside, there is a larger reality outside the scope of our material faculties.

          You might gain some insight from Anne Catherine Emerich’s writings or biography. Her experience substantiates a great deal of so-called Christian tradition, and illuminates a good deal more about humanity’s unwritten history.

  2. The remnant (if any) of the Temple of Jerusalem, where our Lord Jesus prayed, are a holy remnant and should be considered as such by Jews and Christians (and all). But unfortunately, these walls seems to be the remnants of the roman fortress, they are not the Temple remnants, which was not far away from this secular building.

    By the way, the Jews have a veiled soul, this means that they cannot contemplate God, nor can even pray from their heart (seat of the soul); this is why they rock frontward and backward when they pray.

  5. Does anyone know when praying at the wailing wall started? Some articles say it was a thousand years ago, some say 500, and some even say it was as recent as the 19th century.
    In any case it seems to be a reletively recent rabbinical creation.

      1. I could not get into your forum because WordPress would not allow me to register. I read your article about the Egyptian education system. Is Markus Scheff a Jew? Is the whole education organization you talked about Jewish? Is it international?

          1. Thanks, you never did tell me if you are interested it not but I made over 1000 Jew pics. They look really Jewy, many are caricatures and are more unique than what you post on the site. I do like some of your Jew pics though and have downloaded them and altered them. I would love if you used one of mine. No need to give me credit.
