Red heifer born in Israel

Red Heifer Born in Israel (IsraelNN.com) In these days of difficulty for the Land of Israel, there is encouraging news as well...

It can now be revealed that less than one month ago, a red heifer was born in Israel. After the heifer's owner contacted the Temple Institute, on Friday, April 5th, 2001, Rabbi Menachem Makover and Rabbi Chaim Richman traveled to the farm where the heifer is located, to inspect and validate her status. The rabbis found her to be kosher and were satisfied that this heifer could indeed be a candidate to be used in the process of purification described in the book of Numbers, chapter 19. This is a prerequisite for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple.

Tradition records that a red heifer in our generation is a herald of the Messianic era. It is certainly an important development towards the rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Our sages taught that Israel’s redemption can be compared to the dawn. "In the beginning, it progresses very slowly...but as it continues, it grows brighter and brighter."

Pictures of the heifer may be viewed at the Temple Institute .

This is a trip

[MoscowMike]

Get right with the Lord.

Jeepers creepers.

[BlueCat]

Sorry to be such a skeptic, but why do you think that darned heifer was born NOW? Maybe to keep charismatics in line?

[r9etb]

Trip or not, those folks take this particular prophecy quite seriously.

Consider the implications of what would happen if they decided, on the basis of this heifer, to remove the "abominable" Dome of the Rock from the Temple Mount.

"Ugly ramifications" does not even begin to describe it.

[SevenofNine]

Hey Puddle Duck I believe Actually there another item from Jerserlum Post posted few month that healthy red heifer calf was born in Israel I bet Jews are excitied you get the feeling we might be living in last days I THINK SO

[Billy_bob_bob]

Ok, imagine this scenario. Aliens from space land in your backyard. They just happen to speak perfect English, and they want to chat with you about current events here on Earth. In the course of your discussions you explain to them that the birth of a "red calf" in Israel is a sign of the end of the world, and that you and many other people are taking serious steps to prepare yourselves for the end of the world because of the birth of this calf.

You notice the aliens looking at each other with strange looks on their faces. They soon wrap up the conversation and bid you goodbye. As they are walking up the ramp to their ship you notice them checking a box next to the name "Earth" on a list. The box is marked "Hopelessly Insane".

[AmishDude]

Removal of the Dome of the Rock for the purposes of rebuilding the Temple is unlikely as the exact location of the Holy of Holies is unknown and observant Jews would not run the risk of treading on that ground accidentally.

[SJackson]

They've requested no hotlinks, but the pictures are here.

PETA's going to be upset about this.

[Revolting cat!]

I axed my bookie about it and he said there is nothing about a red baby cow, as he put it, in his Book of Numbers, sorry!

[horse_doc]

I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade - but there has to be more to this story than being a "red heifer". Red heifers are a dime a dozen in many parts of the world.

[carpediem365]

Since the book The Revelation was written in the late 1st century prophecy experts have been certain their generation was living in the last days. To be biblically accurate, the entire time since the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Christ can be characterized as the "last days." We do not adorn the gospel or gain any credibility when we try to read into current events the fulfillment of prophecy. This is at best sensationalism and at worst deception. No man knows the day or the hour. Period.

[kinghorse]

Nothing a little Henna couldn't accomplish. Does the carpet match the drapes?

[Blood of Tyrants]

So we are insane for believing in God and prophecy but YOU, who believes in space aliens, is sane? Right. BTW, the message from the mothership behind the comet said not to drink the Kool-Aid.

[jgrubbs]

I think they require the heifer to be born in Isreal which makes this one special, the ones born everywhere else in the world are just cows.

[r9etb]

Removal of the Dome of the Rock for the purposes of rebuilding the Temple is unlikely as the exact location of the Holy of Holies is unknown and observant Jews would not run the risk of treading on that ground accidentally.

I don't know about that. After all, the Jews rebuilt the Temple at least once (and I think more) in the OT.

And, I suspect, observant Jews have already figured out where the Holy of Holies has to have been -- from the veeerrrrryyyy!!!! detailed instructions provided in the Bible.

At any rate, I suspect they've figured out a way to avoid the problem. The heifer-based purification in Numbers 19 is part of the solution.

[NYer]

Here's the lucky victim!

[r9etb]

Red heifers are a dime a dozen in many parts of the world.

Not in Israel, apparently. Supposedly a pure red heifer has not been born in Israel for a very long time (I can't recall if it's since the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, or even before that).

The appearance of a pure red heifer has long been taken as a messianic sign. There was big excitement a few years back, when one was supposedly born. Hopes were dashed when they found a few white hairs.

[Revolting cat!]

First, I quit my educating when these holy rollers tole me the end was imminent. Then, after twenny years digging ditches and washing dishes at a motel restaurant, I quit my job, 'coz the holy rollers tole me again the end was imminent. Now what? Stop washing, eating?!

[realpatriot71]

This is at best sensationalism and at worst deception. No man knows the day or the hour. Period.

But its NO fun that way. My foil hat requires that I give every bit of news out of Israel a prophetic twist.

[r9etb]

Here is one link which purports to explain the basic idea of the red heifer. There are a lot of end-times sites that mention it, and I didn't much care to wade through them. I have no idea if this is an accurate site or not.

Here is the story about the last candidate, from about 1997. A few white hairs, and some black eyelashes saved her bacon, so to speak.

[MoscowMike]

Howdy

Amusing, and perhaps quite correct. I am not planning to sell my ranch and dig a deep hole or anything, but for a believer, having prophesy after prophesy fulfilled gives me the heebie jeebies.

I dont know how many biblically prophesied things have to take place before I stockpile canned food, right now I do my job, feed my horses, and carry on as usual.

People seeing hitler rise thought the bubble was going up, two thousand years of false alarms does make folks jaded even if they do believe in the Almighty.

However, being spiritually "together" is hardly a dysfunctional state of affairs, it is not a bad idea any time.

If and when the Temple of Solomon's reconstruction begins, I humbly recommend you reconsider your cynicism.

[Ff--150]

WHOA!! :) Time for that 3rd Temple to go up. PETA will stop the sacrifices which will bring on the abomination of desolation Jesus spoke of in Matt. 24:15.

[asformeandformyhouse]

This is only about the 5th time I've seen this in the past 10 years. Nothing to see here. Move along.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

So is this heifer sacred or JUST a sign, dinner or what?

[Antoninus]

The Red Heifer was actually born over 50 years ago...

[Rodney King]

Is there any prophecy as to what is to be done with the heifer? Can we make T-bones and burgers out of him?

[Rodney King]

I just read Numbers chapter 19 at bible.com, and there is nothing to suggest that the birth of a Red Heifer is a big deal.

It talks about God telling moses to tell some dude to bring a red heifer and to burn him. Then it goes on and on about how clean people are suppose to dispose of the ashes or something. As for the birth of a Red Heifer being a sign of the end, there is nothing in Numbers chapter 19.

[Dog Gone]

There's something about worshipping a golden calf, though. But didn't the Jews get in heap big trouble for that?

[The Green Goblin]

The "sacred cow" is common to many of the world mythologies. Take for instance the White Buffalo, the birth of which which the American Indians believed to be the beginning of world purification.

[Rodney King]

I don't know, I never heard that one.

[Dialup Llama]

Stop it ok? Every two years or so it is the same new cycle. The heretofore unseen red heifer is finally born allowing the reclaimation of the temple mount and the end of the world to take place.

There have to be a whole herd of these red heifers judging from the number of times this story has made it to print.

Is it s slow news day in Israel? I don't think so.

[Irene Adler]

"Red heifers are a dime a dozen in many parts of the world."

They sure are.

[firebrand]

I remember a story a few years ago about some Christians bringing red cattle to Israel so that a red heifer could be born there.

[ASA Vet]

Aliens from space land in your backyard

I think the check box more likely was beside the words, "immature supernaturalist species."

Their reports final recomendation was, "check again in another 1000 planetary rotations."

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

I'll have to go look at Numbers. But here is the calf.

[off-roader]

One Word.....

CRACKPOTS

[Outlaw76]

Oh Wow! like dude that is so cool!
You know, like a friend of mine said a White Buffalo, well not realy a buffalo I think they are called bison or something, well anyway my friend said a White Buffalo was born recently and that is like some realy heavy Indian stuff! Yeah, I know they aren't from India, but like indiana but anyway I think its like the end of time now you know?

And in related news it is believed that a large number of people living in Arkansas worship a Red Pig buy chanting "Wooooooooooooooo Piiggggggg Sooooooieeeeeee" at sporting events.

/sarcasm off

A red cow is news? People realy need to get out in the country more often.

[triggerhappy]

I agree, except....

Matthew 24:32-33 says, "Now learn this lesson from
the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves
come out, you know that summer is near. Even so,
when you see all these things (Mat 24:1-31), you
know that it is near, right at the door."

[ravingnutter]

Numbers 19:2-10

[arjay]

Matt. 24 is a prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, not the end of the world. With that destruction the Jewish genealogical records were destroyed and Israel as a theocracy was never again to exist.

The fulfillment of the prophecies of Israel as God's people were fulfilled in the church where one is a member of the Christian race, neither Jew nor Gentile.

The people in Israel today are not God's chosen people in any sense. They are Jewish by race, but the theocracy has long ceased to exist.

[Goldi-Lox]

Must meet stringent requirements. Must be without blemish. Not one white hair. Etc. etc. VERY rare indeed.

[Goldi-Lox]

The A-Rabs have been excavating under the Dome of the Rok for several years. Jews have complained that their archeological history is being systematically removed and destroyed. Recently, structural cracks have begun to appear. There are grave concerns that the entire structure is near collapse.

That said, should it collapse, there would be an "opening" to build a new structure...perhaps a New Temple???

[ASA Vet]

I know it won't make any difference to you, but neither christian or jewish is a race.
There are however people of every race who are believers in those religions.

[Rebelbase]

I agree with your #41. God will judge the Jews and hold them accountable, just as he did in the Old Testatment.

The one thing that I cannot resolve is this: Israel used to have to cry out to God for help in its hour of need. Now that Israel possess atomic weapons will it cry out to God, or rely on its own pride to deal with conflict?

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

Thanks a lot for the link in response #40

I bookmarked it for future references on scripture.

I'm still confused, as the next chapter went on to speak about Moses..and I wonder at times if things mentioned in scripture truly are for "future" reference. I realize some scripture is about future events.. but will have to plead ignorance (with a willingness to learn and continue to try to) on this matter.

I really appreciated your help.

Thanks again!!

[jeremiah]

Imagine this scenario, Billy_bob_bob is more likely to believe in aliens that can travel light years as easily as we go to France, but he thinks those that believe in a Creator are nuts.

[Goldi-Lox]

One of the reasons you can't find it in your bibles is that it is part of the JEWISH ritual (and oral traditions) that the priests performed. First the spice had to be found. It was in 1993. Then the ashes of the Red Heifer are used to purify the water used to clean and sanctify the other items the high priest must use...these are the next to be found in a dig. Wait and see, they'll be found soon. When that happens, it'll be time to start the rebuilding of the Temple.

I think this A-Rab uprising in Israel is part of the last days of evil (Arafart) asserting itself to destroy those chosen by G-d.

[Goldi-Lox]

By the way, most importantly, whoever is the owner of the ashes of the Red Heiffer, (or the live Red Heiffer) is the true and only owner of the land of Israel. This is known to both Jews and Arab Muzlims. In fact, this is stated very clearly in the Muzlims Holy Book. If they refute it, they refute their faith.

THAT'S why this is SO IMPORTANT!!!
