Red Heifer Discovered! – Major Obstacle To The Rebuilding Of The Jewish Temple Removed

Up until now, one of the major barriers to the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem has been the lack of a red heifer. A qualified red heifer has not been seen in the land of Israel for nearly two thousand years, and without one it would not be possible to resume Temple worship. But now a candidate has been found that could change everything. The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has released stunning video footage of a red heifer that they believe meets the Biblical requirements. This red heifer was born in the United States, and the owners of the red heifer contacted the Temple Institute in order to receive instructions about how to care for it. It is hoped that this red heifer will eventually be transported to the land of Israel and be used for the purification of the priests and the vessels that will be used in a rebuilt Jewish Temple.

This is a very big deal, because without a red heifer the Temple would never be rebuilt. So needless to say, the video footage that you are about to see is creating quite a stir in Jewish communities throughout the world. The Temple Institute contacted a documentary filmmaker to film this red heifer, and this video was just released to the public earlier this month…

If you are not familiar with the Temple Institute, it is an organization located in the heart of Jerusalem that is dedicated to making preparations for the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple. The Institute has created a whole host of items that are intended to be used in a future Temple including priestly garments made to Biblical specifications, a seven-branched Menorah made of pure gold, a golden Incense Altar and a golden Table of Showbread. The following is what the Temple Institute has to say about itself…

The Temple Institute (in Hebrew, Machon HaMikdash), founded in 1987, is a non-profit educational and religious organization located in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City. The Institute is dedicated to every aspect of theBiblical commandment to build the Holy Temple of G-d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. Our short-term goal is to rekindle the flame of the Holy Temple in the hearts of mankind through education. Our long-term goal is to do all in our limited power to bring about the building of the Holy Temple in our time. Thus, the Institute’s efforts include raising public awareness about the Holy Temple, and the central role that it occupies in the spiritual life of mankind. The many areas of activities conducted by the Institute combine research, seminars, publications, and conferences, as well as the production of educational materials.

The major focus of the Institute is its efforts towards the beginning of the actual rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Towards this end, the Institute has begun to restore and construct the sacred vessels for the service of the Holy Temple. These vessels, which G-d commanded Israel to create, can be seen today at our exhibition in Jerusalem’s Old City Jewish Quarter. They are made according to the exact specifications of the Bible, and have been constructed from the original source materials, such as gold, copper, silver and wood. These are authentic, accurate vessels, not merely replicas or models. All of these items are fit and ready for use in the service of the Holy Temple. Among the many items featured in the exhibition are musical instruments played by the Levitical choir, the golden crown of the High Priest, and gold and silver vessels used in the incense and sacrificial services. After many years of effort and toil, the Institute has completed the three most important and central vessels of the Divine service: the seven-branched candelabra, or Menorah, made of pure gold; the golden Incense Altar, and the golden Table of the Showbread.

But without the ashes of a red heifer, all of those preparations are in vain.

Before the Temple can be rebuilt and Temple worship can be resumed, a perfect red heifer must be found.

And now one has been discovered.

According to Orthodox Jewish authorities, a suitable red heifer cannot even have a single black hair. So finding such a creature is not easy. According to Jewish tradition, only nine such red heifers were found during the entire time when the first two temples were standing. And if this current red heifer ever does any work or ever mates it will be disqualified. The following comes from a Jewish source…

The sages infer that the Red Heifer must be completely red—even two black hairs would render it invalid. And it must not have done any work in its lifetime—even having a yoke placed on its back or having mated would disqualify it.

Once a candidate was found, and there was need for more purifying ash water, the cow would be slaughtered and burned on a pyre, along with a cedar branch, hyssop sprig, and crimson wool. The ceremony took place on the Mount of Olives, opposite the Temple Mount.

All of this has huge implications for world events.

Traditionally, many Orthodox Jews have believed that the spotting of a red heifer would herald the coming of the Messiah.

And if this red heifer does indeed turn out to be a suitable candidate, one of the biggest obstacles to rebuilding the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem will have been removed.

For Christians, this is an extremely exciting development as well.

The Bible tells us that there will be a Temple standing in Jerusalem in the last days, and that the Antichrist will defile it.

But that Bible prophecy could never be fulfilled until a red heifer was found.

Yes, there are still many more obstacles standing in the way of the Jewish people rebuilding the Temple. For one, the Islamic world would go into convulsions if Israel tried to build anything on or near the Temple mount at this point.

However, the Temple Institute and a whole host of Orthodox Jews are absolutely determined to make the rebuilding of the Temple a reality, and now they appear to be one giant step closing to achieving that dream.

It is still to be seen if the heifer was genetically engineered to fabricate an excuse.

They will have to get a move on, these animals don't live forever you know.

There have been red heifers before and at least one of them was born in Israel according to this site (Tracey R. Rich): _http://www.jewfaq.org/qorbanot.htm (bold, mine)

Parah Adumah: The Red Heifer

Some time in 1997, a red heifer was born in Israel. This birth received quite a bit of press coverage, and I received many questions asking about the significance of it.

The ritual of the red heifer (in Hebrew, parah adumah) is part of one of the most mysterious rituals described in the Torah. The purpose of this ritual is to purify people from the defilement caused by contact with the dead. The ritual is discussed in Numbers 19. If you find it difficult to understand, don't feel bad; the sages themselves described it as beyond human understanding. What is so interesting about this ritual is that it purifies the impure, but it also renders the pure impure (i.e., everybody who participates in the ritual becomes impure).

It is believed by many that this ritual will be performed by the messiah when he comes, because we have all suffered the defilement of contact with the dead. Thus, the existence of a red heifer is a possible, but not definite, sign of the messiah. If the messiah were coming, there would be a red heifer, but there could be a red heifer without the messiah coming.

I have not heard any definitive word on whether the animal born in Israel satisfied all the requirements of a parah adumah (e.g., that it be without spot, without blemish, and that it has never been yoked). In any case, the animal is long since dead, and the messiah has not yet come. Better luck next time.

We'll have to wait and see whether they will whip up a genuine frenzy around the poor animal now, and especially why so. OSIT.

According to the Judaic creed, the coming of the Messiah will happen when Israel is restored (done), Jerusalem is a Jewish city (done too) and Jerusalem temple destroyed in 70 A.D. is rebuilt. For this to happen a red heifer must be sacrificed.

The return of the Messiah marks the time of the retribution for the Jewish people. Jews have accepted to have their live controlled in most aspects (see endless list of talmudic rules for example) because of the premise of the return and the retribution.

It's mainly through this premise that Jewish priests (Levites, Pharisees, Talmudists) have controlled the Jewish people. But the problem is that, for 25 centuries, they've been waiting for the Messiah and they are still waiting.

With the on-going conflict in Gaza, the growing criticism against Israel, the dissensive voices growing even within the Jewish community, I suppose the Zionist leaders are trying to make sure that the Jewish population remains cohesive, hence the very timely appearance of the red Heifer and the revived hope of the soon-to-come retribution.

Thanks, Pierre. Interesting take on things.

One question, though: first you speak of the coming of the Messiah and then in the next paragraph you introduce the return of the Messiah.

Slip of the pen, perhaps? Christian influence, maybe?? Freudian??? :P

Both can apply depending on your eschatologic perspective. Judaic tradition waits for the coming of the Messiah since there's not been any Messiah before. For Christians it's about the return (or second coming) of the Messiah, since Jesus was the first one.

All fine and dandy but as far as I recall Christians don't need a red heifer unblemished and all, neither a temple, nor any sacrifices of whatever sorts, to make it happen.

I doubt it's been that long. I'd give it 15 or so, and even then it was an "on/off" things. It only really got going in any serious way in the last 1800's. Judaism and the history of the "Jewish people" is more or less one big lie, one big con, a sham, a farce, a charade, built largely on lies. Just like Christianity.

Nope. Christians don't need a red heifer for the 2nd coming of Christ.

This being said Christian and Judaic eschatology are interrelated. For example in Matthew (24), Jesus announced that the antichrist would desecrate the temple. For this to happen, there must, of course be a temple in Jerusalem once again. So the red heifer also has a strong meaning for some Christian believers.

Oh. My. God.

... and there might be another minor problem with location: it seems that the 3rd temple is supposed to be built in place of the dome of the rock, a.k.a. the Al-Aqsa mosque.
Just sayin'...

Yes this is definitely a big lie and the problem is that many believe it and let their whole life be shaped by it for the worse. The first writings about the Judaic Messiah are to be found in Isaiah that was completed soon after the fall of Babylon to king Cyrus (circa 539 BC). But it's only later that the notion of messianism was fully developed and used by the pharisees (starting in 150 BC). If you remove 5 "phantom centuries", the Pharisees spread their interpretation of messianism about 15 centuries ago. Here's an excerpt of Reed's book about Pharisees and messianism:

Under the domination of the Pharisees the Messianic idea first emerged, which was to have great consequences through the centuries. It was unknown to the earlier Israelite prophets; they never admitted the notion of an exclusive, master-race, and therefore they could not be aware of the later, consequential concept of a visitant who would come in person to set up the supreme kingdom of this exclusive master-race on earth.

The nature of this Messianic event is clear, in the Judaist authorities. The Jewish Encyclopaedia says the Pharisees‘ conception of it was that "God‘s kingship shall be universally recognized in the future … God‘s kingship excluded any other."

As Jehovah, according to the earlier Torah, knew only the Jews, this meant that the world would belong to the Jews. The later Talmud confirmed this, if any doubt remained, by ruling that "the non-Jews are as such precluded from admission to a future world" (the former Rabbi Laible).

The mass of the Judeans undoubtedly expected that "the Anointed one", when he came, would restore their national glory; in the perfect theocratic state he would be their spiritual leader, but also their temporal one who would reunite the scattered people in a supreme kingdom of this world.

The Messianic idea, as it took shape under the Pharisees, was not an expectation of any kingdom of heaven unrelated to material triumph on earth, or at any rate it was not this among the mass of the people. The Messianic expectation, indeed, must in a sense have been the logical and natural result of the sect‘s own teaching.

The Pharisees, like the Levites whose message they carried on, claimed to know all things, from the date of the world‘s creation, and its purpose, to the manner of the special people‘s triumph. Only one thing they never stated: the moment of that glorious consummation.

The burden of observance which they laid on the people was harsh, however, and it was but natural that, like prison inmates serving a term, the people should clamour to know when they would be free. That seems to be the origin of Messianism. The people who once had "wept" to hear the words of the New Law, now had borne its rigour for four hundred years. Spontaneously the question burst from them: When? When would the glorious consummation come, the miraculous end?

They were ―doing all the statutes and judgments,‖ and the performance of them meant a heavy daily task and burden. They were doing all this under a covenant, which promised a specific reward. When would this reward be theirs? Their rulers were in direct communion with God, and knew God‘s mysteries; they must be able to answer this question, When?

This was the one question which the Pharisees could not answer. They seem to have given the most ingenious answer they could devise: though they would not say when, they would say that one day "the Messiah the Prince" would appear (Daniel), and then there would be given to him "dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him." Thus the compressed, ghettoized Judean spirit was anaesthetized with the promise of a visitant; Messianism appeared and produced the recurrent outbreaks of frenzied anticipation, the latest of which our Twentieth Century is experiencing.
