The Temple Institute had the following in its newsletter today:<\/p>\n

\n

“This is the law of the burnt offering”<\/em><\/h2>\n

(Leviticus 6:2)<\/p>\n

Adar Sheni 19, 5784\/March 29, 2024<\/p>\n

Parashat Tzav<\/em>, the second weekly reading of the book of Leviticus deals almost exclusively with a detailed listing of different types of offerings to be performed in the Tabernacle. …<\/p>\n

This Shabbat as part of our preparation for Passover we read\u00a0parashat Para<\/em> – all about the ashes of the red heifer whose purifying power enables us to enter into the inner courtyards of the Holy Temple! The Temple Institute continues its efforts to advance the raising of a red heifer and preparing for the preparation of the purifying ashes! …<\/p>\n

Parashat Para: Ordinance Of The Red Heifer<\/strong>\u00a0During the month of\u00a0Adar<\/em>\u00a0four different special Torah readings are read on Shabbat. Three of the four are directly related to the upcoming month of\u00a0Nisan<\/em>\u00a0and the holiday of Passover which begins on the 15th of\u00a0Nisan<\/em>. These three readings are known as\u00a0Shkolim, Para<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0HaChodesh<\/em>. This coming Shabbat we are reading\u00a0parashat Para<\/em>, the first 22 verses from Numbers 19,which describes the ordinance of the red heifer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Temple Institute held a ‘Red Heifer Conference’ two days ago, so this Sabbath service may be another step.<\/p>\n

It was stated in the conference that the Temple Institute wanted to sacrifice a red heifer next month, and had tentative permission, but supposedly that will not happen. The conference was in Shiloh where the Israelites once had a tabernacle. One reviewer of the conference stated in English (the ‘Red Heifer Conference’ was in Hebrew) they mentioned that it is easier for the Temple Institute to\u00a0 put together a tabernacle instead of a temple. Here is a link to the reviewers short video: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zn19IAwSs6U<\/a><\/p>\n

The reviewer also said that the red heifers are ready for sacrifice. Although he said that there was not really a time limit, that reviewer also said that he thinks that the red heifer would be sacrificed in Shiloh (others have pointed to the Mount of Olives–see:\u00a0CBS: What these red cows from Texas have to do with war and peace in the Middle East. Red Heifer to be killed on the Mount of Olives?<\/a>). Without giving a date, the reviewer seemed to point to possibly this year–we will see.<\/p>\n

As most regular readers of this COGwriter Church of God News page are aware, on September 2022, five red heifer candidates arrived in Israel from the USA. One was disqualified as acceptable for sacrificial use last year (see Temple Institute says one red heifer disqualified, with four remaining viable<\/a>). Since the Jews believe that there have only been nine qualified red heifers in recorded history, it is almost guaranteed that at least three of the remaining heifers will some day be disqualified.<\/p>\n

This red heifer matter is a BIG DEAL to certain Jews, such as those in the Temple Institute and the reconstituted Sanhedrin (and apparently some in Hamas).<\/p>\n

Christians, of course. do not need a red heifer sacrificed for redemption as the Apostle Paul was inspired to write:<\/p>\n

11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ<\/strong>, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance<\/strong>. (Hebrews 9:11-15)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christians do not need any heifer, but certain Jews who reject Jesus’ sacrifice think that they do. A red heifer is NOT a biblical requirement for Christians. And since Jesus came, it is also not one for Jews either. Yet, because the Jews reject Jesus, some believe having a red heifer is a biblical requirement.<\/p>\n

Jews, of course, should accept Jesus. Related to proof from the Hebrew scriptures as well as Jewish traditions, the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> put out this sermon on its ContinuingCOG <\/a>channel:<\/p>\n

Jesus for Jews?<\/a><\/h3>\n

Since there are at least 200 scriptures in the Hebrew Bible that Jesus fulfilled, why do most Jews not accept Jesus as the prophesied Messiah? Is the claim in the \u2018Jewish Encyclopedia of 1906\u2032 that \u201cthere appears to be no evidence of any Jewish conception of a Messiah suffering through and for his people\u201d true or misleading? What do Jewish writings, including those in the Babylonian Talmud (Mishnah and Gemara) and various Targums reveal? What about the Dead Sea Scrolls? Was the timing of Jesus\u2019 arrival and death consistent with any Jewish writings or records? Do any Jewish writings point to Jesus miraculously healing the sick? Do ancient Jewish writings tell of the Messiah who would offer Himself to take away the sins of Israel? Do Jewish writings tell of Messiah son of Joseph dying to later be resurrected? Do any Jewish writings point to Messiah son of David coming in the clouds, like 1 Thessalonians 4 does? Are there Jewish writings claimed to be related to the archangel Gabriel which tells of a resurrection after three days? If the Jews believed the Old Testament and certain of their writings, shouldn\u2019t they accept Jesus as the prophesied Messiah? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to our sermon: Jesus for Jews?<\/a><\/p>\n

Getting back to red heifer matters, let me state that we know that the sacrifices will be re-implemented by certain Jews as the prophet Daniel was inspired to numerous times that they would be stopped:<\/p>\n

27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
\nBut in the middle of the week
\nHe shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering … (Daniel 9:27)<\/p>\n

31\u00a0And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices,<\/em> and place there<\/em> the abomination of desolation.<\/span> (Daniel 11:31)<\/p>\n

11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.\u00a0 (Daniel 12:11)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, we see that after a deal is made, 3 1\/2 years later, sacrifices will be stopped. By who? Well, the “he” above was called a “prince” in Daniel 9:26 and will become the King of the North Beast leader as discussed in Daniel 11:31,40.\u00a0 Since those that wait the 1335 days are then blessed–this looks to be a reference to Jesus returning and establishing the Kingdom of God a little less than four years after the daily sacrifices are stopped by the Beast.<\/p>\n

Since the sacrifices will be stopped, they must start. And that is something that the Temple Institute and Sanhedrin are working towards.<\/p>\n

The fact is that certain Jews (and others) have put a lot of time and money into red heifer projects.<\/p>\n

Temple Institute, Heifers, Hamas, and a Tent<\/a><\/h3>\n

In March 2024, the Temple Institute recently pointed out that how God blessed the Sabbath, He also blessed the construction of a tent tabernacle. They pointed out progress from the ancient Israelites. Should Christians be making spiritual progress each year before Passover? The Temple institute has stated that the area called \u2018the Temple Mount\u2019 needs to be cleared of Muslim mosques, etc. so that a \u2018third temple\u2019 can be built. It also claims that it has four thriving red heifers, one of which it wants to sacrifice before the implementation of regular animal sacrifices. Has Hamas claimed that the existence and possible use of a red heifer was a factor in its attack in Israel on October 7, 2023? Does the Temple Institute believe it must have a massive temple in order for sacrifices to resume? Or is having a priesthood, an altar, and a tent enough? What does the Sanhedrin say about that? Did Ezra write that animal sacrifices were made after the first temple was destroyed, but before the second temple was started? Is that believed by numerous modern Jewish rabbis and scholars? Does the Bible teach that regular animal sacrifices will be resumed? Could there be any relationship to the stopping of them and the return of Jesus? Is the day of Jesus\u2019 coming getting much closer? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these issues.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to our video:\u00a0Temple Institute, Heifers, Hamas, and a Tent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We all need to watch and pray as Jesus said in Luke 21:36 and grow in grace and knowledge and as the Apostle Paul wrote:<\/p>\n

25\u00a0 \u2026 exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.\u00a0 (Hebrews 10:25)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That day is approaching more and more.<\/p>\n

The red heifer matter is one to prophetically watch (cf. Mark 13:37).<\/p>\n

Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Why is a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem Not Required?<\/a> Although people like Timothy LaHaye teach a third Jewish temple is required, who is ‘the temple of God” in the New Testament? Does the Bible require a rebuilt Jewish Temple? Here is a related item in the Spanish language \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no se requiere un templo jud\u00edo en Jerusal\u00e9n?<\/a> Here is a link to two sermons The Temple, Prophecy, and the Work<\/a> and God\u2019s Temple in Prophecy<\/a>. And here is a version of the latter one in the Spanish: El templo de Dios en profec\u00eda<\/a>.
\nNascent Sanhedrin and Prophecy<\/a> The reconstituted Sanhedrin wants the reimplementation of animal sacrifices. A related video is titled Sanhedrin pushing animal sacrifices<\/a>. And a newer one is: Sanhedrin makes burnt offering to dedicate altar!<\/a>
\nThe Red Heifer, Jewish Beliefs, and the End of the World<\/a> The Temple Institute is watching a ‘red heifer.’ Why might this be important in the sequence of end time events? Here is a related link in the Spanish language Novilla roja descubierta en EE.UU. e Instituto del Templo est\u00e1 interesado en ella<\/a><\/em>. Here are links to three related videos in English: Red Heifers and the Fate of the World<\/a> and The Red Heifer and the End of the World<\/a> and 5 Red Heifers and Year 5783?<\/a>
\nP<\/a><\/b>roof Jesus is the Messiah<\/a> This free book has over 200 Hebrew prophecies were fulfilled by Jesus. Plus, His arrival was consistent with specific prophecies and even Jewish interpretations of prophecy. Here are links to seven related sermons: Proof Jesus is the Messiah<\/a>, Prophecies of Jesus\u2019 birth, timing, and death<\/a>, Jesus\u2019 prophesied divinity<\/a>, 200+ OT prophecies Jesus filled; Plus prophecies He made<\/a>, Why Don\u2019t Jews Accept Jesus?<\/a>, Daniel 9, Jews, and Jesus<\/a>, and Facts and Atheists’ Delusions About Jesus<\/a>. Plus the links to two sermonettes: Luke\u2019s census: Any historical evidence?<\/a> and Muslims believe Jesus is the Messiah, but<\/a> … These videos cover nearly all of the book, plus have some information not in the book. We also have the book translated in the Spanish PRUEBA de que JES\u00daS es el MES\u00cdAS<\/a> and French PREUVES QUE J\u00c9SUS EST LE MESSIE<\/a> languages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
