Another Red Heifer is Identified

Some of you know all about the Red Heifer that the Jews are watching for.  New readers might have no clue what a red heifer even is.

A red heifer is a young female cow that has never had a calf.  The one the Jews are looking for has to be perfect...and that means it can't sprout more than a few white or black hairs, it has to have red hooves and a red nose.

Numbers 19
 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: 2 “This is a requirement of the law that the Lord has commanded: Tell the Israelites to bring you a red heifer without defect or blemish and that has never been under a yoke. 3 Give it to Eleazar the priest; it is to be taken outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence. 4 Then Eleazar the priest is to take some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting. 5 While he watches, the heifer is to be burned—its hide, flesh, blood and intestines. 6 The priest is to take some cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet wool and throw them onto the burning heifer. 7 After that, the priest must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water. He may then come into the camp, but he will be ceremonially unclean till evening. 8 The man who burns it must also wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he too will be unclean till evening.

9 “A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and put them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelite community for use in the water of cleansing; it is for purification from sin.

According to the Jews God has only provided them 9 perfect red heifers since Solomon built the first Temple in Jerusalem 3000 years ago.  Clearly they haven't needed the ashes of a red heifer since the 2nd Temple was destroyed by the Romans about 30 years after Jesus left this earth.

But ever since the Jews reclaimed Jerusalem in 1967 they have been watching all over the world for The Lord to bring them a perfect red heifer because they believe it will be their sign that they are to rebuild the 3rd Temple so it is ready for the Jewish Messiah to come and reign at.

Amazing!!...but PLEASE REMEMBER that the Jews have already REJECTED the one and only Messiah, Jesus Christ, so what they don't realize is that they are making all these plans to worship their coming messiah but instead will end up being deceived by the Antichrist.

A fully red cow on a small farm outside Lakewood, New Jersey is attracting worldwide attention in orthodox Jewish circles and various movements with a Messianic or “End of Days” bent. Let me explain why.

In the Biblical Book of Numbers (19:2-13) it stipulates that the only way to purify oneself after contact with the dead is to be sprinkled with water that is a mixture of hyssop, cedar-wood, scarlet and the ashes of a red heifer or cow – in Hebrew, “Parah Adumah” – sacrificed on the altar of the Holy Tabernacle. Put differently, according to Biblical law, to overcome the impurity of death, one needs a kosher red heifer for a sacrifice in the Temple. 

For a red cow to be “kosher” it must be totally red. A mere two black or white hairs, in close proximity to each other, disqualifies it. After the Biblical Exodus, the Tabernacle that Moses built served the Israelites for 40 years in the Sinai desert. Then there were two Temples that stood in Jerusalem for about a thousand years, from the 10th century BCE until the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. Since then, there has been no Temple and, as far as we know, no kosher red cow – until now.

Many believe that kosher red cows will once again appear when the Temple in Jerusalem – the House of God – is about to be rebuilt. The ingathering of the Jewish people and the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 has been seen by believers as signs of the impending arrival of the Messiah, the rebuilding of the Temple and the inauguration of the “Kingdom of God” – a qualitatively new phase in human history. For believers, the sudden appearance of a red heifer could be interpreted as a sign of the impending Messianic age.

And now it seems that such a red heifer – two years old and unblemished – has appeared in Howell, New Jersey. The red cow was born to two black bovines on the farm of Herb Celler, the son of Auschwitz survivors. Rabbis are presently arriving from various locations around the world and, so far, the cow has passed the kosher test with flying colors – so to speak. Mr. Celler said he was offered one million dollars for the cow. He turned down the offer, however, and plans to send the red heifer as a gift to Israel.

But why a red heifer? It is said that this is the only mystery that stumped even King Solomon. I think my daughter Ziva has a plausible explanation. In Rabbinic tradition, the ashes of the red heifer are also seen as an atonement for the sin of the Golden Calf. Meaning, the Bible says that after the Exodus some Israelites sinned by worshipping a golden calf. 

The sacrifice of the red heifer, therefore, was a way of saying sorry to God. We usually think of the Golden Calf as yellow, but Ziva points out that copper is often mixed with gold to strengthen it, and that in ancient days such mixtures were called “red gold”. In other words, the red heifer may be an atonement for the sin of the Red-Gold Calf.

Depending on where you stand on this issue, the arrival of the cow in Jerusalem could be bad news or good news. On the one hand — coming at a time of genocidal nuclear threats against Israel from Iran – the cow could be seen as a sign of Apocalyptic times. On the other hand, it could also be seen as a sign of the imminent arrival of the Messiah whose task it is to defeat the forces of evil and inaugurate an era of peace.

So the Jews now have the possession of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount for the first time in 2000 years.  They have all the lumber and stones cut and ready to build, they have crafted the golden implements and woven the ephods, they have identified the Levites to serve as priests of the coming Temple.

Now they are waiting for the perfect red heifer (which may have just been found) and then they will wait for G-d to provide them a way to build the 3rd Temple someplace on or close to the Temple mount where the Muslim Dome of the Rock and a Mosque currently sit.

Can this story get any more interesting???

Hey people....if you aren't watching the Jews and Israel...you seriously are missing the boat.
