Two Jewish men tried to climb the Western Wall because a water stain on one 
large stone has led some ultra-Orthodox Jews to conclude that redemption is 
near and the Messiah is on his way.

Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch, the chief rabbi of the Western Wall - also known 
as the Wailing Wall - said Wednesday the water stain was discovered four 
days ago by worshippers who pray at the base of the wall. Some Jewish 
mystics believe it is a sign the "wall is crying," signaling the coming of 
the Messiah, he said.
