Falling Boulder Western Wall Narrowly Misses Worshipper

Falling Boulder Western Wall Narrowly Misses Worshipper

It was nothing short of a miracle for this female worshipper in Israel when a boulder nearly struck her down. This woman was worshipping at the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem when a 220-pound boulder became dislodged and crashed onto a raised wooden platform.


People from all over the world come to the Western Wall to worship God at this ancient structure that is more than 2,000 years old. It is truly a sacred site and a beauty to behold. Thankfully, this woman was not harmed when the boulder fell over 23 feet and nothing else was damaged. It definitely could’ve had a very different ending.

I am sure this woman was a bit shook up after the incident, but it was a close call that ended up bringing attention to this structure and other worshippers. An official with the Antiquities Authority in Israel said that dampness might’ve caused the boulder to become loose and fall down. The section is currently closed as authorities investigate the section and make sure it is safe for worshippers again. Personally, I think it was a miracle that no one was injured during this dangerous incident.

It just goes to show the amazing power of God all over the world. Maybe he was using this boulder to get our attention because now this story is being shared all over the Internet. Even the mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, is calling this moment a miracle. What did you think of this close call?
