Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Oh LORD,
You are forever Holy and Righteous.
How Excellent is Your Name!
It is You Who Stretched out the Heavens,
And it is You Who laid the Foundations of the Earth.
You Alone Are Worthy of Praise,
and You Alone Are The One True God of Abraham.
Ancient of Days,
Rock of Ages,
Eternal, and Almighty,
We Can Do Nothing But Fall On Our Faces Before You
in Endless Worship and Thanksgiving!

We Pray For The Leaders of Our Nation,
May They Be Inspired and Led By You,
And Please Guide Them in All Things.

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

God Bless America.

A half century ago, the brief passage in the Torah about a red cow didn't interest anyone other than serious Bible Scholars of either the Christian or the Jewish Faith. This was a ceremony in which a red heifer, three years old and never calved, is sacrificed outside of the Tabernacle. Its ashes were to be mixed with water and used for ceremonial cleansing. Lest one thinks that ashes do not have cleansing properties, remember that old-fashioned lye soap was made with beef tallow and wood ashes. So perhaps, the Red Heifer Ceremony actually produced a kind of disinfectant (just my speculation!). Lots of things show up in the Old Testament, especially during the Exodus, that have to do with Heath and Sanitation, and didn't make sense back then, but do now, if one thinks about it.

Anyway, red heifers weren't in the News for 2000 years, because the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70AD, and the ceremony ceased operations.

Sometime between my visit to Jerusalem in 1984, and the most recent decade, both Christians and Jews have suddenly expressed an interest in the Red Heifer. This could be because there are people who are actively preparing to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, and the ceremony is a necessary part of inaugurating that effort.

Muslims are against this, because they have planted a mosque, called Al Aksa, on the very site of the Temple Mount. Many Jews are against it, because they know how much trouble it will cause. Many Christians are against it, because they believe that Jesus Himself is the Final, Once-and-for-All Sacrifice for sin, and that WE are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Still other Christians see the construction of "The Third Temple" as a prerequisite for the Return of Christ and the End of Days.

A devout Christian rancher in Texas has supplied The Temple Institute in Jerusalem with several beautifully bred red cows that were transported to Israel and are awaiting this ceremony. Some say it will be this year.

The general feeling around us Twenty-First-Century people would be: "OK, so they bred some red cows for an ancient ceremony that doesn't mean anything because 1. They will never be able to build on the Temple Mount, 2. Jesus is the Final Sacrifice for Sin and our High Priest, 3. Most Israelis are secular and really don't care, and so on. BUT...there are some people who are taking this all VERY seriously.

Right after the hideous October 7th Terrorist attack against innocent Israeli Civilians that plunged the Middle East into War and American Universities into a cesspool of Antisemitism, there was a video produced by the terrorists ranting about their motivation. The spokesman for the "Al Aksa Flood" (Hamas) Terrorists said that the reason for the horrific attack against Israel was the "Red Cows" that the Jews had brought into Jerusalem. It wasn't about Land, or refugees, or a "Two-State Solution", or even "Palestine". It was because of the Red Heifer.Check Out This Page of Red Heifer Videos.

Today's Mysterious Name is given to Jesus, in the Book of Hebrews. As always, it is important to consider context, and the Book of Hebrews is perhaps the most powerful example of that policy.

While much of the New Testament is written to the Gentile World (for example, nearly all of Paul's letters are written to Churches in Greece, Rome, and modern-day Turkey), the Book of Hebrews is oriented to, obviously, to Hebrews, that is, First Century Jewish People who believed that Jesus was the Promised Messiah. That is why there are so many references to Moses, The Tabernacle, and the Sacrificial System of worship in the Temple. In this Book, the author discusses how the whole Sacrificial System of Atonement was fulfilled on the Cross, with Jesus being both the Sacrifice and the High Priest. While a human priest would have to atone for his own sins on a daily basis before he could do anything for the sins of others, Jesus was without sin. Yet, as a human being, he went through all the stuff we go through and is able to empathize with us.

Today's Name is "Apostle of Our Confession". Our "confession" is our Faith. "Apostle" means "One Who Is Sent".

I don't pretend to be an erudite scholar of the Bible, especially the Book of Hebrews, because, not only is it very deep, but its context is so different from my own culture.

Nevertheless, it gives us some wonderful Names and Titles of God, and in the Twenty-First Century, some insight into the conflicts going on around the world.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Red Heifer Misinformation!!

Indeed.

Never before in History have we had:

1. Israel back in the Promised Land.
2. The whole world against her.
3. A means of identifying and marking everybody.
4. A False religion taking over and marginalizing Christians and Jews.
5. Instant Communication and control of money worldwide.
6. Man’s ability to create new diseases, change sexuality, and do Mind Control.
7. AI, Computer-Generated Arts and Science, and Cybornetics.

Scary Stuff if you don’t know the ending of the story.

You are right...the Red Heifer was NOT sacrificed during Passover, and now Passover is over for this year. I hope you had a blessed one.

Meanwhile those Red Cows are still there, and so is the Temple Institute.

And the vile Hamas spokesman cited the presence of these red cows as one of the reasons for the worst attack on Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Personally, I wish people would just report facts and not their own speculations. I don't call it LYING exactly, but it is “disinformation” as you stated.

That's why I tread very softly when composing this Daily Thread. When something is my own interpretation or conjecture, I try to always state that is the case. Of course, writing every day for 14 years , I do make mistakes from time to time. Free Republic's FRiends, however, are faithful to call me on my mistakes and keep me in line! LOL!
