Possible red heifer born in Israel

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

 

[Hank77]

They have had a red heifer ready for many, many years.

 

[Lulav]

Many have been born but they need to still be in the perfect state of 'red' once they reach the age of 1 year old. It can't have even one white hair, or black hair.

Dating back to Moses if this proves to be a Kosher red heifer and it is sacrificed it will be only number 10.

Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Many believe, as do I, that the sacrifice of Yeshua was effectual to give us eternal salvation and to be able purify us to stand in the heavenly Temple. The purpose of the earthly sacrifices and temple service is entirely different.

One slide on the video said, "The red heifer brings the promise of reinstating Biblical purity to the world, ...". That prompted me to post Hebrews 9:12-14. What is the purpose you are referring to?

Right, the sacrifices are effectual to cleanse one to draw near to G-d in this Temple, to purify one in this world - but not salvation. Yeshua's sacrifice is to stand before G-d in the Heavenly Temple. As it says "...but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,...." Yeshua entered the Heavenly Temple by his own blood, not the earthly Temple, which is a shadow of the Heavenly Temple.

Yes, I understand that, but you wrote, "The purpose of the earthly sacrifices and temple service is entirely different." What is their purpose? Are you saying believers need a red heifer for some reason?

If they want to draw near to G-d in the earthly Temple, yes. But the purposes of the earthly sacrifices are to draw near to G-d, not salvation.

 

[gadar perets]

If they want to draw near to G-d in the earthly Temple, yes. But the purposes of the earthly sacrifices are to draw near to G-d, not salvation.

So my point is that we do NOT need a red heifer to draw near to God or to be saved. Neither does the rest of the world. All we need is Yeshua.

We do not need one necessarily to draw near, and definitely not to be saved. But the action of sacrifice as a means to draw near, physically, to G-d on this earth is unique to the Temple service until Yeshua comes again. Once he comes again and/or when the Heavenly Temple replaces the earthly one it will be a different action, of course.

Prophetically, the red heifer plays a role in getting the sacrificial temple system up and running.

Yes.... this is amazing and wonderful news.......

The heifer, born from a natural birth, must be entirely red, with no more than two non-red hairs on its body. It must also never have been used for any labor or have been impregnated. The existence of such a heifer is considered a biological anomaly and very rare. Fortunately, the ritual requires an infinitesimally small quantity of ashes. From the time of Moses, who personally prepared the first heifer, until the destruction of the Temple, only nine red heifers were prepared. Nonetheless, this was sufficient to maintain the ritual purity of the entire nation for almost 2,000 years.

According to Jewish tradition, there will only be ten red heifers in human history with the tenth heifer ushering in the Messianic era. Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon (Maimonides), the most renowned medieval Jewish scholar known by the acronym Rambam, wrote in his explanation of the mitzvah that “the tenth red heifer will be accomplished by the king, the Messiah; may he be revealed speedily, Amen, May it be God’s will.”

This is true but.......
Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus stated:
Luke 24:25

"Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:"

This powerful statement verifies that Ezekiel chapters 40 to 48 must come to pass........

so the Third Temple must be built before Zechariah chapter 14 can come to pass.......

I was also just reading that the commandment says it has to be a "heifer" which means 3-4 years old.

...And cattle are bred in their first year on a working cattle farm. A heifer is a virgin or it would be called a cow. So does the "red heifer" have to be 3-4 years old??

That's what I read on the Temple Institute's website.

Almost 30 years ago, Rabbi Yonatan Adler, who is also an archaeologist, performed an in-depth study into the textual references to the site where the red heifer was burned, publishing his results in in the Torah journal Techumin. His calculations, based on the Holy of Holies being located where the Dome of the Rock stands today, led him to a spot where Dominus Flevit, a Catholic Church built in 1955, now stands. Archaeological surveys discovered unique characteristics of the site that corresponded to descriptions in the Talmud.

 

[Lulav]

1And the L-RD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2 This is the ordinance of the law which the L-RD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke: 3And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face: 4And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times: 5And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: 6And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.


The bible only states that it be a Red cow. There is no other distinction. It must be something from the Talmud.

Found it in the Mishnah

" A calf (in Torah) is a year old and a cow is two years old. The Sages say a calf is two years old and a cow is three or four. Even a five year old is valid"​

A heifer is a cow that has never given birth​

This is a good time to remind everybody of the case that can be presented that the relationship between the Messianic Jewish community before 70 C. E. was quite different from the later time of Rabbi Akiva and the Bar Kochba Revolt.

Grant R. Jeffrey Ph. D:

"The Sacrificial System Will Continue

One of the most perplexing ideas to students of Scripture is the idea that God intends that the annual feasts, along with animal sacrifice, will continue into the Millennium. Many Christians who have studied the prophetic portions of Zechariah 14, Isaiah 66, and Ezekiel 40 - 48, which clearly describe these Millennial worship ordinations, are confused by the idea. They ask, "Didn't the sacrifice of Christ eliminate animal sacrifices forever?"

............"Only the complete sacrifice of Jesus could ever totally atone for our sins. However, God clearly demanded the sacrifices from Adam to Christ. Those sacrifices were acts of obedience to the direct command of God, as well as acknowledgements of one's own personal sinfulness and need for God's forgiveness. Animal sacrifices covered the sins of the people temporarily until the prophesied Messiah would come and offer Himself once and for all as the necessary atonement for sin. If animal sacrifice can never atone for sin, why would God allow Israel to resume such sacrifice in the Third Temple, prior to Armageddon, and then demand that Israel continue such sacrifice in the Millennium? There are two reasons why I believe this is true."

First, the early Jewish - Christian Church continued to offer sacrifices in the first century.".......



.......Second, New Testament writers used the legal sacrificial system to illustrate very important points concerning Christ's sacrifice on the Cross.......

..... These examples of the way early Jewish believers used God's law to teach great love when He sacrificed His only Son on the cross will be repeated during the Millennium." (Grant R. Jeffrey, Messiah, War in the Middle East and the Road to Armageddon, page 317, 318 and 319)

He believes that we can learn a lot about the future from how things were back then.
