In 1990, the Gulf War begins, and Saddam Hussein (a type of Nimrod/Marduk) raised his fist against Kuwait and the world; and in a symbolic representation of Marduk and Hadrian's planetary deity, the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, in 1994, smashed 20+ fragments into the planet Jupiter striking the planet with an
estimated energy equivalent of 6,000,000 megatons of TNT. The resulting explosions created a scattering of fireballs that left behind huge, dark variations on the planet's surface.

"Hitler also began the extermination of the Jews on the 9 Av, 1942, which is interesting because 1492 and 1942 have transposed digits."
Tisha B'Av is a fast day, and a man will not put on his tallit until midday (by that time the fire had died down in the Temple). It is forbidden to wear shoes, bathe, wear perfume, shave, wash clothes or exchange greetings. Mirrors are traditionally covered and mourners sit on the ground, or a low stool, just as one would do when mourning the loss of a loved one. Mourners meals are eaten (boiled eggs with bread dipped in ash). In the synagogue, the lights are dimmed and the embroidered cover of the Ark is removed; symbolizing the destruction of the great curtain which hung in the entrance to the Holy of Holies. Prayers and scripture readings are chanted in hushed, melancholy terms and Jeremiah 8 v13 to 9 v23 is read along with all of Lamentations."
"My eyes do fail with tears.... for the destruction of the daughter of my people (Jerusalem). " Jeremiah.
