Temple Institute Announces Breeding of Red Heifers

Temple Institute ^

[LukeL]

AFTER NEARLY THREE DECADES OF RESEARCH... IN JUST 2 DAYS THE TEMPLE INSTITUTE WILL ANNOUNCE A HISTORIC EFFORT THAT WILL BRING THE WORLD CLOSER THAN EVER BEFORE TO THE REBUILDING OF THE HOLY TEMPLE. THE FUTURE IS IN OUR HANDS!

[Tzfat]

I know that may fit your theology, but it does not fit what it says in Acts 21:17-26:

When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly. On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present. After greeting them, he related one by one the things that G-d had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. And when they heard it, they glorified G-d. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed. They are all zealous for the Law, and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or walk according to our customs. What then is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.

Do therefore what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow; take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also live in observance of the Law... Then Paul took the men, and the next day he purified himself along with them and went into the Temple, giving notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and the offering presented for each one of them.

Not only did Paul took four other followers of Messiah, they immersed in a mikveh (pool of water), and then offered animal sacrifices (the vow mentioned was the Nazarite vow from Numbers 12). They measured the time of the vow by the cutting of the hair, offering the hair on the alter, and then offering animal offerings.

So, it appears that your theology demands that Stephen and others as well who were guilty of what they were falsely accused.?

Acts 6:8-15:

And Stephen, full of grace andzpower, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. But athey could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. Then they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and G-d.” And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, and they set up false witnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the Law..."

“Not only did Paul took four other followers of Messiah, they immersed in a mikveh (pool of water), and then offered animal sacrifices (the vow mentioned was the Nazarite vow from Numbers 12). They measured the time of the vow by the cutting of the hair, offering the hair on the alter, and then offering animal offerings.

None of that is stated in the text. Paul was trying not to offend the Christian Jews. However, go read the book of Romans and other books by Paul to hear how he regarded the efficacy of sacrifices. However, if you want to shave your head, go for it.

[Lee N. Field]

Read Acts 21. Someone forgot to tell Paul, James, and myriads of the followers of Messiah that the “Temple era” had ended.

A generation's grace period, and the Old (Mosaic) Covenant cultic order was pretty thoroughly ended.

I know of no authoritative Jewish tradition that there have only ever been ten red heifers in history. There could be a million of them on dairy farms around the world. It might be just a misreading of the fact that there will only ever be a need for the properly prepared ashes of ten of them.

[CynicalBear]

I’ve been watching this for years. They are getting very, very close to building the new Temple. Even the long lost snails which were thought to be extinct that produce the blue dye for the robes has once again been found.

[CynicalBear]

>>We had red cows on the farm lots of them. Whats the big deal with needing to breed them....?<<

Not without any other colored hairs or any blemish you didn't. If you had you would have been billionaires.

[Tzfat]

What date would that have been? Acts 21 occurred no earlier than 56 CE.

[Tzfat]

Clearly you mind is made up and you seem more interested in thinking you are right than investigating what the Bible might say to be true.

[Lazamataz]

End times ping.

[Phinneous]

“they” are not rebuilding anything. In Jewish tradition, G-d will bring it down from heaven and the Jewish people will put the doors on. No demolition, no blue prints other than Ezekiel.

[Lee N. Field]

What date would that have been? Acts 21 occurred no earlier than 56 CE.

40 years, roughly, from the death, resurrection and ascention of Christ, to the siege of Jerusalem and destruction of its temple.

[Tzfat]

So, since a date is not forthcoming, perhaps there is an event that indicated that, as you said, "Old (Mosaic) Covenant cultic order was pretty thoroughly ended."

One would think that since the model of following by example is replete through Scripture, Luke would have made it clear that although Paul, James, and "myriads" of followers were an exception that those that read should not follow.

There are multiple places in the Prophets that specifically about a return to Temple worship. Specifically, Zechariah 14, Ezekiel 44-48.

[CynicalBear]

>>“they” are not rebuilding anything.<<

Guess again.

[Phinneous]

The Institute builds the vessels of the Temple (not a problem, to have an idea of what will be there) trains the priests... Good, this we definitely need, but will have nothing to do with construction. That will all be from G-d in Jewish tradition, regardless of what they plan. (though it is fine to plan ).

[CynicalBear]

You play in your “Jewish tradition” and I’ll rely on scripture. We know what Jesus thought about “Jewish tradition”.

[Phinneous]

Roger that big daddy. So, was this a Protestant thread?

[Phinneous]

That’s the crux, no? Jews don’t believe that at all.
We believe in the 3rd,eternal Temple, to be built by G-d, initiated by Moshiach. We wait, you wait. Nu?

[delchiante]

They are going to have to go back to Ezekiel’s calendar template too..

Because Rome and Ezekiel 46 have different calendar counts.

One has 7 days (6 work, 1 Sabbath- Rome)
Vs the other that has 8 days (1 New Moon, 6 work, 1 Sabbath- Ezekiel)

[odawg]

“Clearly you mind is made up and you seem more interested in thinking you are right than investigating what the Bible might say to be true.’

No, I’m just looking at it from a Christian perspective that has been around ever since Paul wrote his letters to the church, roughly 2000 years.
