November 1, 2018 -- Snake exits the Western Wall

On November 1, 2018, a snake emerged from the Western Wall of the Temple Mount near the women's prayer area.  It was removed safely.  It was a coin-marked snake, which is common in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southern Europe.  Its appearance startled a pigeon, which then flew away, and surprised a number of individuals near the wall.  As is the case of other natural occurrences at the Temple Mount, this unusual event led some to speculate as to its meaning.  For a cautious response to one interpretation that attempts to link the event with biblical prophecy, see Ben Witherington blog entitled Why Some Folks Think Evangelicals are Nuts.
