An ultra-Orthodox Israeli student now living in Colombia said that he spotted a kosher red heifer on Wednesday that would be available immediately upon the coming of the Messiah reports Radio 2000. The man took footage of the animal, and claims that halakhic (Jewish legal) authorities have confirmed that at first glance, it is indeed kosher.
The student purchased the cow for an undisclosed but “large” sum of money.
Currently, the Temple Institute who approved its purchase is waiting to ensure that she doesn’t grow any white or black hairs. If it doesn’t it will be officially declared a red heifer. However, if a black or white calf is born to her, it can no longer be considered a red heifer.
Last month, Rabbi Azaria Ariel, traveled to an undisclosed ranch in Israel to lead the Temple Institute’s efforts to raise a red heifer for the performance of the commandment of producing the purifying ashes of the red heifer. He recently inspected the current red heifer candidates and shared their status.
One of the two more mature candidates is still very viable, even though it has a few hairs which aren’t sufficiently red, as required by halacha (Jewish law).
Two new candidates were born in the early months of 2020, and they are currently viable. The ordinance of the red heifer is described in the Bible:
This is the ritual law that Hashem has commanded: Instruct B’nei Yisrael to bring you a red cow without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which no yoke has been laid. (Numbers 19:2)
The purifying power of the ashes of the red heifer posses the ability to overcome the spiritual impurity contracted via physical contact with a corpse or cadaver, known in Hebrew as טמא מת – tamei met. The renewal of the ashes of the red heifer would enable kohanim (Temple priests) today to achieve the highest level of spiritual purity, allowing them to resume their work in the Holy Temple.
This would eliminate one more stumbling block on the way to rebuilding the Holy Temple and renewing the Divine service.
Who was a religious Jew.
Which was required to fulfill the law.
Who the Savior asked God to forgive.
You miss the whole point of the Crucifixion.
I see the post got deleted. Good.
end of story.
Thanks Fred, appreciate your incredible insight as you post to a Christian with that one.
This is an Eschatological Ping. Maybe you’ve heard that word before? Somewhere..
a Texas rancher was raising them too and sending them to Israel so I guess that herd is still there?
these keep coming up, though absolutely perfect ones are scarce
Whoops!
My bad!
I see you didn’t post that to me and meant to post to that nasty comment above.
Eet Mo Chiken
I would imagine a Levite would be the one to make that determination.
“Red” cattle are reddish brown like people with red or auburn hair.
Fun fact ... there’s a variety of Angus cattle that are all red, all the time. Same with Limousin.
The bull we used last year was solid red only he was more of a mahogany. The calves, however, have a lot of white on them.
I guess the calf can’t grow out any white hairs in its switch (long part of the tail) or have any hair whorls on its neck or shoulders that look like it might have come from a yoke because THE red heifer can’t have been used for work.
I keep seeing articles like this published more and more lately.
They’ll find that perfect one eventually I suppose.
Yes, but does God care? I think not as they still reject the sacrifice of His Son. OT sacrifice was a type that points to the true sacrificial sacrifice.
But it is interesting. Possible Divine Rejection may occur.
I think He cares.
What’s fascinating about this storyline is that all those Preterists who will die on their hill insisting that there will be “no more Temples built” and that we’re somehow right now living in the “Millennium Kingdom” of Christ (make that two millenniums), will have a hard time negating that this Red Heifer story and the New Temple projected to be built actually shatters their version of events since a decent portion of Orthodox believing Jews are actually working towards these goals.
Jews still have another “seven” to complete for Daniels Prophecy. That is exactly why this story is so important.
The authoritative work on Temple red cows is Rambam’s Mishneh Torah, Sefer Taharah, Parah Adumah (15 chapters). Plenty of details there.
I’m glad I read the link. I thought he was just being rude. *grin*
Keep her away from any bull which is not a Red Bull!
My hair's that color, but they don't call me "Rusty"!
If the heifer was in Venezuela, it would have already been butchered and eaten.
