Dr. Dan: "Didn't the Rabbis say that it is a grave sin to try and predict when the end of days and the moshiach will come? And that by doing so, it might prolong his coming? "
Don't worry, Dr. Dan.
They have an answer for everything.
And when all else fails, they always will fall back on "Who are you to dare and question a rabbi ?"
Just nine years ago the kabbalists with their gematria were claiming that the War of Gog and Magog had begun with the Twin Towers followed by "Operation Shock and Awe", and had all the numerical proof in the world to prove that George W. Bush was Magog and that his Dad was Gog. They also had the "timetable for Moshiach" worked out in perfect detail, and wonderful links to everything necessary to know.
But don't just take my word for it.
