Increasingly Hot Weather [#15692]

October 9, 2021

QUESTION:

What’s going on behind the hotter temperatures of the earth, which the scientists are discussing a lot lately? What is it saying to us?

ANSWER:

The external reason is because of the damage being done to the ozone layer. But the inner reason is because the world is at a level that is getting closer and closer to Gehinnom, so the fire of Gehinnom is heating the earth. On a subtler level, it is because we are getting closer and closer to the day of which Chazal said, “In the future, Hashem will remove the sun from its sheath.” (Talmud Bavli Succah 3b). That is the process which we are in the middle of and which is gradually unfolding. That is why the temperatures in our world are getting hotter and hotter.
