Mideast Debrief Part 2 - The Red Heifer

Holy Cow – The Significance of the Red Heifer in the End of Days

DISCLAIMER: I present these facts as one would present the weather; I am a God-fearing weatherman for PEACE.

These truly are Biblical times, and we should be paying attention.

The Third Jewish Temple will be built soon - very soon - and its significance cannot be overstated. This singular event, the greatest aspiration of the Jewish religion of the last two millennia, will lead to an apocalyptic conflict, culminating in World War 3 – but why?

The Temple Mount has hosted two Jewish temples in the past, the last one being destroyed by the Romans nearly two thousand years ago, there are Roman reliefs depicting Pharisee Priests carrying temple treasures from Jerusalem to Rome where the Vatican has them stored to this day. The Temple Mount itself is huge and ancient – indeed one of the largest megalithic foundation stones in the world is in the Temple Mount and is the size of a city bus. According to the Old Testament Solomon, the wisest of all kings, used a special ring known as the Seal of Solomon, which later became the Star of David, to control demons in assisting with construction of the first temple.

Why can’t the Third Temple be built today? Two things – the red heifer and Islam. The Muslim Dome of the Rock is a golden dome that sits literally, like King of the Hill, atop the holiest site in Judaism, the rock of creation – the single point where God expanded the Earth and where Abraham attempted to sacrifice his son Isaac. This is the exact place of the two previous Jewish Temples, but the Jordanian WAQF controls the Temple Mount and Jews are not allowed to pray on the sacred grounds.

Someone is going to blow up the Dome of the Rock, soon – very soon.

But not until the mount and the Temple priests can be purified, and for that they need an all-red heifer that reaches the age of 3 without a blemish. After decades of search and preparation 3 are ready or near ready. According to Jewish tradition there have been 9 red heifers sacrificed for purification rituals in all of history and that the 10^th would be used in the time of Moshiach. This is the 10^th heifer, and again, according to Jewish tradition, there is a messiah present in every generation, the only thing required is the political conditions and the red heifer.

According to The Temple Institute, nearly everything is ready for Temple worship, including golden menorahs and extravagant robes, except for the Temple itself and the Red Heifer. The Old Testament states that no one in the city heard the temple’s construction, which means that the Third Temple stonework is likely already fabricated offsite and can be moved to the mount whenever the Dome is razed.

The red heifer must be sacrificed on the Mount of Olives at such a height as to be able to see the temple mount and the place where the Third Temple will stand. An altar was just created by the Temple Institute for this very purpose – watch this 5 minute CBS segment showcasing the altar.

The first red heifer was sacrificed around 3500 years ago on the Jewish lunar calendar date, Nisan 2 – which falls on April 10 this year, two days after the total eclipse on April 8 – eerily, the path of the eclipse runs straight through the Texas ranch that the Temple Institute acquired the cows from a few years ago.

The Sabbath of the Red Heifer takes place the weekend of March 29, I suspect the heifers will be prepared for sacrifice over that weekend. Watch for the tenth heifer sacrificial ceremony on April 10.

Let me explain the theological conflict that Abrahamic eschatology leads us to: Judaism awaits Moshiach, a political figure that will rule the world from the throne in Jerusalem. This is not Jesus because they will not claim to be God. According to Christianity, it’s the Antichrist that sits on the throne. “The abomination of desolation” referred to in the Book of Revelation is the antichrist sitting on Christ’s throne. So as soon as Jews name their messiah all heck breaks lose. Muslims also think the antichrist/dajjal will be the Jewish king. Muslims, however, do not believe Jesus was God, so those Christians who believe so are considered blasphemous. Abrahamic eschatology results in a Mexican standoff, where everyone has gun to each other’s head. All religions claim there will be great deceivers in the end of days, perhaps we are all being deceived into war?

The conflict will kick off once the final agitation for the Temple Mount begins – even Hamas mentioned the threat of the red heifers as justification for October 7. The Dome of the Rock is protected not just by the Jordanian WAQF, but also by the 2.2 billion Muslims who study their eschatology. When the Dome drops and a Third Temple is rebuilt, global jihad will result.

What will happen in the end of days? Every faith has their own interpretation - even within faiths there is discrepancy. For instance, some Catholics believe that Jesus will return through a nuclear holocaust – checkout this sculpture that sits behind the Pope at Vatican Hall.

What will happen when the Temple is built? I’ll explore these Eschatological questions in the coming weeks, but ultimately it depends on the specific religious teaching of those you ask, no one religion seems to have a unified approach to Armageddon. Either the Gates of Hell open up, the Gates of Heaven open up, or we all kill each other for nothing. I love all of my Jewish, Christian, and Muslim brothers and sisters and I hate to see them killing each other - especially in God’s name. Above all, I want to preserve our secular country, our blood, our treasure, and to keep our future generations out of the chaos. I love everyone’s hardware, it’s the software we need to talk about.

To understand these geo-political events, one must understand Third Temple politics.

We want Truth and we want PEACE.
