I don’t see how anything you wrote contradicts what I posted. The days of sacrifices are over.
Quote-That looks like a Rust Color to me. Does it qualify as ‘red’?
My hair’s that color, but they don’t call me “Rusty”!’
JimRed, you mentioning your hair being that color, gave me thought.
The bible likens people to sheep,goats, wheat, tares, grapes, branches, trees, even pillars in the the temple, etc.
Maybe there is ‘people’ out there that spiritually are likened to red heifers. Or oxen, donkeys, birds, too.
Not in the natural, but in a higher spiritual way.
With a spiritual temple built with the Passover Lamb as the cornerstone, Paul’s premise of first the natural,then the spiritual, could apply to anything to do with the natural tabernacle/temple and its offerings and furnishings.
It’s the spiritual Passover Lamb that the rulers of Jerusalem stumbled over.
They never saw the Passover Lamb on the tree.
They saw only the natural Passover lamb on their tables.
And that blindness led them to think they were worshipping the Father in Spirit and Truth, when their house was actually made desolate.
can they sacrifice the red heifer without the temple?
Not sure about that.
I would think probably not, but they are getting ready for both heifer and the temple if you follow what the temple institute is planning.
The rebuilding of the temple should serve as a major wake up call to fence-sitters that time is running out.
Can they rebuild the temple without tearing down the mosque?
There’s a raging debate that the original site of the Temple is not even near the mosque.
So the answer would be possibly.
In practical terms the world is slowly coming to an end.
That is to say the world as the center of human history is coming to an end.
That’s what all the space exploration is about.
Just as we in the new world were off the edges of the known world at the time of the bible —we are moving into an age which is beyond our comprehension. The best science fiction writer of the 19th century HG Wells predicted much of the the technology of the 20th century until about 1980 or so. Then the technology went off his map. That’s about 100 years or more. Kurizweil predicting in the 1990’s could only go out about 50 years before the technology went off his map and into the black hole or singularity. Meaning things became too unpredictable.
So they probably won’t build the temple in the next 10 years—but its likely due this century.
Or about the time someone figures out how to make warp drive.
Might be 2060 or there abouts.
Very interesting! I’m no priest but I could probably do with a few ashes myself. I’m no stranger to sin.
Wasn’t there a “South Park” about this?
