Ancient Jewish advice: if you are in the midst of planting a tree and someone tells you that the Moschiach (Messiah) has arrived, finish planting the tree. The idea being that there have been so many false messiahs over time that you should not stop going through your normal life because you hear something that you like. If it does happen to be the real thing, then you having completed your immediate or even daily tasks isn’t going to change anything of importance anyway.
Do I believe this? Nope. I’m willing to be proven wrong, but that’s a rather large hurdle for someone to jump over.
Reminds me of Abraham Davenport’s response during New England’s “Dark Day” of 1780
