The Temple Institute is correct in that the sacrifice must be performed on the Mount of Olives. Numbers 19 is very clear about this. This sacrifice symbolizes when the Savior suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane- which is located on the Mount of Olives- and does have a view into the Holy of Holies. He suffered there within sight of God, symbolically. The heifer must be completely red (how completely I guess is up for debate), because Jesus bled from every pore in the Garden and was covered in blood. Perfect without impurities because He was perfect. The cedar wood symbolizes the cross to which He was nailed, Hyssop symbolizes the vinegar drink He was given on a sponge raised up on a hyssop stalk, and the red wool represents the red robe He was given to wear after He was scourged. The Savior’s soul was completely consumed with the pain of suffering for us and thus the red heifer must also be completely consumed. Through the results of His suffering (represented by ashes of the heifer) we are cleansed and purified. Every thing about the Law of Moses was meant to teach the Israelites and point them toward Jesus. Thus every part of the sacrifice has deep meaning in representing the Savior. There is more symbolism associated with the other requirements of this sacrifice, like being outside the camp- Golgotha was outside the city walls. The high priest performs the sacrifice - Caiphas was the high priest who arranged for Jesus’ death. He then became unclean after the sacrifice. Someone who was clean gathered the ashes- this was Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus who were believers and took Jesus’ body.
God's Word is rightly divided into three witnesses of spirit (OT), water (Kingdom NT) and blood (Pauline Epistles) using the number of the steward (13). That is 39 books in the OT (3x13, spirit, blood, water enfolded into singularity), 13 NT Kingdom books (Matt. - John, Hebrews - Revelation) and 13 NT Grace books (Romans - Philemon). The Kingdom NT is the OT fulfilled. The Pauline Epistles are the Mystery revealed. Everything Paul connects to "the mystery" (Eph. 3:1-11 (3)) was hidden in God only to be revealed by our risen Lord to Paul "after" God raised Christ from the dead. That is how God kept "these things" (2Peter 3:14-16) hidden from the devil and his minions. Otherwise, the devil would have known and never would have crucified the Lord of glory. 1Cor. 2:6-8.

Although Chuck Missler's knowledge of Holy Scripture is world class, Missler and I disagree fundamentally on Biblical eschatology. He is "pre-Tribulation Rapture" proponent and is far too close to a "replacement theology" mindset for me.
There are 20-30 thousand denominations of professing Christians and one truth. The "deluding influence" forcing people to "believe what is false" (2Thes. 2:10-12) is very powerful indeed. Paul writes that there MUST be factions among us so that those who are approved may become evident among us. 1Cor. 11:19.
My interpretations say the Body of Christ is "caught up" to meet the Lord in the air (1Thes. 4:13-18) to put on immortality (1Cor. 15:51-55) more than 3000 years "before" the Great Tribulation at the "end of the age" (Matt. 24:3+). We are caught up to meet the Lord in the air to start the Day of the Lord that is "as 1000 years." 2Peter 3:8. Some among us allow this simple fact to escape our notice as Peter says. The truth is an extremely rare commodity and almost nothing is as it seems.

The sacrifice is made in proximity to the Tabernacle of Moses and the Tent of Meeting specifically (Num. 19:4). The Law was given to Moses by the Lord God during the 40 years in the wilderness long before the Temple. The types and antitypes in your commentary have meaning for Christians for whom Christ died, but are meaningless to the children of Israel to whom the Law of Moses was given even today.
I had heard that all the candidates had been disqualified, but i don't understand how these last several years, they had promoted the half dozen, then 5, of them, and then, poof! They're all OTL. How could everyone have missed the blemishes on all 5 of them? There's something missing from this story.
Right. Israel cannot perform the sacrificial rituals in keeping with Mosaic Law, until they rebuild the Tabernacle of Moses and the Tent of Meeting. These people are just killing cows...
Thank you for writing. This is not about the cows and qualifications. This is about Israel being disqualified for being unclean before the Lord God, because they have not rebuilt the Tabernacle of Moses and the Tent of Meeting in keeping with the perpetual statutes incumbent upon Israel until heaven and earth pass away.
Red heifers have been sent to Israel from Texas. Did they use one of those?
According to Jewish Messianic Scholar, Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, in order for the red heifer to be Kosher, it must be calved in Israel, not Texas. He jokes that it must be a Jewish cow, not a Gentile cow.
God will produce the qualifying red heifer at his appointed time. It will not be a genetically engineered cow from Texas.
I do agree with Michael about the times we live in.
One of my favorite quotes from Chuck Missler says it all:
“We are being plunged into a period of time about which the Bible says more than about any other period in history …including the time when Jesus walked the shores of Galilee and climbed the mountains of Judea!”
Chuck was called home on May 1, 2018. So, how much closer are we to the King’s return?
Thank for the info, it makes perfect sense that the heifer must be calved in Israel. God will provide it in His own time! Yes, a genetically engineered cow from Texas cannot qualify from the beginning.
Pharasseic Lunatics=---Jesus Christ was the LAST Sacrifice on the Cross. "The Temple is Now in your Hearts". Ushering in The Anti-Christ and he damn well knows it. Tim "The water was cold" Pool is another Jewish lunatic.
Because of the varied restrictions and opinions, I’ve really enjoyed the updates on the red heifers shared by Mondo Gonzales, on Prophecy Watchers. Mondo has researched the topic for quite awhile and written a book about it. He keeps up with the various groups involved and gives regular updates and explains the issues really well. Very helpful.
A red heifer is mentioned once in the Bible in the following passages. I really don't see how this has anything to do with the rebuilding of the temple as these passages pertain to Eleazar, Aaron's son who was Moses brother.
Numbers 19:1 - 9:
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
5 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
9 And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
Basically this is a ritual that has to do with purification of sin.
Although I can't find a record of when Eleazar died, he did live during the time of the Exodus, which was well before the first Temple ever got built by Solomon or the second one that got built. How this ritual and hence the "Red Heifer" then got attributed to the building of the third temple is beyond me.
Please enlighten me, if you have more information on how this pertains to the third temple being built.
I believe there's men in the Jewish government that claim to be Jewish but are not. They are satan at heart and do not want the 3rd temple to be built.
Many biblical scholars agree, including Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, that the third temple is expected to be rebuilt by the middle of the seven-year tribulation period.
The Temple will be rebuilt and restored when Elijah returns to restore all things (Matt. 17:10-12, Mal. 4:5-6) as the "prophet" of Acts 3:19-26. Israel in the world today is out of fellowship with the Lord God and knows not what they are doing... Not even close...
Just the fact that there appears to be events getting ready to build a third temple is another possible sign things are moving closer to the end of the age but it's too soon to tell. As we see these events take place then we will know. Like when they actually start rebuilding the temple etc.
I'm rather not surprised. Current development of Christian and Judaic religions falls within the spectrum of primitive and superstitious. Whereas a higher developed state of both religions may be developed and attained in the future, current levels at the moment evince simply lamentable Neanderthal interpretations. Sacrifices? How far in concept are these religions from the Aztec religious practice of human sacrifice--I include Christianity because of the many Christians supporting and believing these "prophecies"? Not far.
An inquiring individual would ask why these religions at this level of development are juxtaposed to the advent of AI and the higher realms of what we call "scientific development" but specifically "technocracy"? Because they are ineffective in developing discernment and insight.
None of these sacrifices mean anything. Israel has a list of "perpetual statutes" that must be carried out to remain in fellowship with the Lord God. Israel was required to rebuild the Tabernacle of Moses on the day the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD. Israel must keep the fire burning outside the Tent of Meeting or immediately be out of fellowship with the Lord God to be found unclean. Elijah is in the world today and will appear to Israel for the restoration of all things (Matt. 17:10-12) as the "prophet" of Acts 3:19-26 to fulfill the prophecies from the final two verses of the OT (Mal. 4:5-6). However, Elijah will drag the chief priests into the street to strip them naked and beat them with a rod to within an inch of their lives for disobeying the perpetual statues and for leading the children of Israel astray. The fact that any priest of Israel would instigate these sacrificial rituals and ordinances of Mosaic Law in the absence of rebuilding the Tabernacle of Moses and the Tent of Meeting is an abomination to the Lord God.
The whole idea of a third temple is not a given among most of Christianity. Historic attempts to build a temple after 70 A.D. have meet in failure. A reading of Hebrews will give us instruction that with Christ's death sacrifice for sin is no longer needed, and the Jews are not presently in a position of favor with God (Synagogue of Satan). That there must be a physical temple to fulfill Bible prophecy is only one interpretation of those prophecies; the other being the church is now God's temple. Most of Christianity as well as the Muslims will be up in arms if the Jewish people state reinitiating animal sacrifice on the temple mount.

Thank you for your eloquent reminder that the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, while the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed.

Mr. Croft:
Where does the "20-30 thousand denominations of professing Christians" come from?
Do you mean literally "20-30 thousand"?
If so, where can I find out more on this calculation?
Thank you.

The red heifer ceremony is Old Testament. It predates Jesus. It’s necessary to purify the temple.

Thank you for your input.
One merely has to yoke them to disqualify them.

When will construction begin on the third Jewish Temple?
IMO, it can't begin soon enough!
Yes I agree. My wife and I actually pray that Jesus will open the seven seals quickly.
As soon as the Antichrist confirms the covenant with many.
Soon, soon.....

Thank God the LORD isn’t bound by Torah anymore. (First Fruits of Zion cultists disagree.) Jesus is coming regardless.
Just the fact that there appears to be events getting ready to build a third temple is another possible sign things are moving closer to the end of the age but it's too soon to tell. As we see these events take place then we will know. Like when they actually start rebuilding the temple etc.

Maybe they should remember the true sacrifice of the Lamb of God and stop this nonsense of animal sacrifice to bring the messiah. He is already here.
