[ WP ] There is a wall , and on that wall every 24 hours it will state 3 words that will happen to one of the many who visit it that day .

It just *happened*. Giant words in Hebrew just appeared on the Western Wall in Jerusalem. A custodian tried to scrub it off, but it was almost as if the stone itself had changed colors. All it said was `` Come, my children.'' Of course, when the news got out, Jews swarmed towards the Holy Land, believing it to finally herald the coming of the long-awaited Messiah. Plane tickets to Israel were sold out for almost an entire month, with impromptu pilgrimages suddenly being thrown together. As millions of the sons of Abraham streamed into Jerusalem, they packed the city the likes of which were probably not seen since before the Babylonian Exile. 
 
 About a week after the words appeared, there were about 2.4 million Jews of assorted races, nationalities, and sects in Jerusalem and the surrounding area - over three times the city's population. It was a Saturday, so of them, especially the Hasidics, were simply sitting around, reading, admiring the view, or praying in a horribly overcrowded synagogue. A little Jewish boy, trying to hold on his yarmulke as he ran, sprinted through the streets, yelling that the writing on the wall had changed. Suddenly, men were streaming out of hotels, tents, temples, scurrying in a frenzy towards the holy site. When they all arrived, the words were there, clear as day. They read, `` Elias Isaac Goldberg.'' Fortunately, there was only one man in the crowd with that name. He was a 45 year old rather overweight stockbroker from Toronto, the wiry blond hair on his head beginning to thin. A pair of glasses ( or spectacles, as he preferred to say ) were perched on the brim of his nose, and he had on a white business shirt with rather noticeable stains from the 90 degree heat. Most of the time, people remarked that he looked like a combination of Rob Ford and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. The crowd parted for him like the Red Sea, and he nervously walked forward to the wall. Elias put his hand on the block in front of him, as the writing above him disappeared. It reemerged in very small print at his eye level. He leaned closer to take a look at the writing, which simply said `` Heaven awaits you.'' Now, why would it say that? As Elias pondered, he failed to notice that his leaning put pressure on the ( load-bearing ) block, which caused a crack to radiate upwards. The wall was starting to collapse. When he noticed the startled gasps of the people behind him, Elias looked up to see a rock almost as large as himself falling straight towards him. 
 
 The second-to-last thing that went through Elias' mind was that he managed to find out what the words meant.
