There is a lot of speculation that historic events that people have been anticipating for more than 2,000 years are about to happen in our time. About a month ago, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet about whether or not the sacrifice of the tenth red heifer would take place during the Passover season, and obviously that did not happen. However, I am entirely convinced that a red heifer sacrifice is eventually coming. But if you think that the sacrifice of the tenth red heifer will be big, the truth is that the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant will be even more important.
I will get to that later in this article, but first I wanted to talk a bit about the upcoming red heifer sacrifice.
According to the Temple Institute, a red heifer cannot be used in such a sacrifice until its third year has begun…
As for the time the red heifer may be used for this commandment – the Sages state that it is valid when it reaches maturity, i.e. from the beginning of its third year. [13] From this age and onward the red heifer is valid without age limitations. Though, ideally, one should not wait till it passes the age of four, lest it grows hairs of colors that deem it invalid.

And yet in Matthew 24:3 when the disciples asked '“Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”', Jesus didn't blow them off with your answer nor tell them that they were lusting after signs of His return they were sinning by asking. He could have told them *None of your business*. He didn't.
Jesus answered it and gave them the signs that the end of the age was drawing near. That encompasses verse 4 - 33 where He concludes in verse 33 with this.... Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.
If Jesus didn't want us to know, He wouldn't have answered them.
Then in verse 36 He specifies that no one knows the day or the hour, but that follows His entire dissertation giving the signs that His coming is near.
He concludes with this......
Verses 42-44 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
He expects us to be on the lookout and commends those who are as being wise and faithful servants who will be rewarded.
OK, you win the thread!
btw....still awaiting your answer to two very simple questions.
Are you a universalists?
Are you an annihilationist?
Shouldn't take you long to answer.
Say whaaaat??
Then somebody over at that horrible Reddit place had the temerity to ask:
Is there a database for government acronyms?
Hahahaha database for acronyms. No. This is the government, stop asking simple questions.
Isn't the acronym game why we're all in governments work?
The Hebrew acronym for the United States is ארה"ב, short for Artzot HaBrit [ארצות הברית], lit. the lands of the covenant.
Each agency has their own acronyms. Many have the same acronym that mean completely different thing even when in the same Dept. (ex. US FS, NRCS, FSA, and ag research are all under USDA.) I've worked for multiple of these and had to relearn the acronyms each time.
Hebrew for the Ark of the Covenant is Aron haBrit [ארון הברית], so by applying the same acronym naming convention, the result is also ארה"ב.
Of course, who would abbreviate the Ark of the Covenant? If that happened, readers of Hebrew would look at the acronym ארה"ב and immediately recognize it as the United States, the place sitting right in the center of JERUSALEM. Well, the US Embassy does straddle the Green Line.
Then again,
Isn't the acronym game why we're all in governments work?

Even Jerusalem has an acronym: י־ם
A person could see that a sea is split, what with the intel that just sits there.
In the Map Room scene, Indy double taps the doubled water hieroglyphic, checks his little book, then double taps the water again.
It's just a movie, nothing important. The info stream therefore flows along completely unmolested by the religious fixers. By the time they catch on, it'll be too late.

Why is it that all means all and shortly does not mean shortly in Rev 1:1?
“Post-Christic Israel is Holy Mother Church.”
?????????????????????????
Absolutely not.
Verses 42-44 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
I’m sorry but this is a commandment to live righteously, because our individual or collective judgment can arrive when we least expect it. That is the full context. We can have some concerns about His return, but it must not be something that occupies us, any more than the lily caring for what it wears on the morrow.

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
SECOND EDITION
877 Likewise, it belongs to the sacramental nature of ecclesial ministry that it have a collegial character. In fact, from the beginning of his ministry, the Lord Jesus instituted the Twelve as “the seeds of the new Israel and the beginning of the sacred hierarchy.” Chosen together, they were also sent out together, and their fraternal unity would be at the service of the fraternal communion of all the faithful: they would reflect and witness to the communion of the divine persons. For this reason every bishop exercises his ministry from within the episcopal college, in communion with the bishop of Rome, the successor of St. Peter and head of the college. So also priests exercise their ministry from within the presbyterium of the diocese, under the direction of their bishop.
Second, to assert that the "Abomination of desolation" is going to be a red heifer, seems a bit trivial.
Please see comment #49.
Behold your mother.
The Second Temple existed from 516 BCE to 70 AD before it was destroyed by the Romans - a span of 586 (almost 587!) years.
The number 587 is the 107th prime.
The importance of the ritual sacrifice of the red heifer at the to-be-built Third Temple can’t be understated.
The practice of Gematria - calculating and using numeric values of letters - originated in ancient times, most notably using the Greek and Hebrew alphabets. It is a fundamental concept in Kabbalah - Jewish mysticism.
from Chabad.org
Gematria in Kabbalistic and Chassidic texts
Gematria is an integral element of sod, the concealed aspects of the Torah. Kabbalah makes frequent use of gematria as a way of crystallizing a teaching.
Gematria using English has numerous ciphers, the base four are Ordinal, Reverse Ordinal, Pythagorean/Reduction and Reverse Pythagorean.
The term, ritual sacrifice has a value of 107 in the Reverse Pythagorean cipher.
107 happens to be the 28th prime number. Temple, Torah, and Israel - all have a Gematria value of 28.
Read the passage in context. It doesn’t say what Rome claims. Not even close.
Nope. Not even close.
Yes.
The Ark was the very Presence of God. No, it didn’t contain Him, but His presence went with it.
The presence of God was manifest in the man, Jesus Christ, now exalted as King of Kings and Lord of Lords - He was the Messiah and is so eternally.
The presence of God is now in His ekklesia, the body of
Christ, which has little or nothing to do with what the world thinks is the Church.
It will never again be manifest to the Ark.
I personally believe that either the Ark will be hidden forever or God removed His presence from it as He did from the Jewish temple for their rejection of Him as their Messiah.
And they were genetically produced, not natural.
She can wait for you.
But can you afford to tarry.
Mary can’t do a thing to save you. Not. One. Only faith in Christ saves. Nothing else.
