I had heard that it was just a \u201cpractice run\u201d, and so I didn\u2019t understand why some people were making such a big deal about it. Well, it turns out that those that actually conducted the red heifer sacrifice did not consider it to be a \u201cpractice run\u201d. That definitely shocked me. Meanwhile, the Temple Institute is insisting that the ceremony on July 1st used \u201ca disqualified heifer\u201d and therefore could not be the real thing. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Byron Stinson helped bring five red heifers from Texas to Israel in 2022, and he organized the sacrifice of one of those red heifers on a remote hilltop in northern Israel <a title=\"on July 1st at 6 PM\" href=\"https:\/\/religionnews.com\/2025\/07\/11\/practice-run-of-red-heifer-ceremony-meant-to-pave-the-way-for-a-new-temple-held-in-jerusalem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on July 1st at 6 PM<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Stinson told RNS about the details of the practice ritual, which was held at 6 p.m. local time July 1, and released photos and video of the ceremony. That video shows a flaming pyre on a remote hilltop with what looks like the animal carcass engulfed in flames. A rabbi led the ceremony after the heifer was driven there from Shiloh in the West Bank, where the selected red heifers have been kept.<\/p>\n<p>Plans for the ritual have been years in the making. Stinson, who has a home in Israel and lives there part of the year, funded a search to find heifers that would fit the exacting requirements found in the biblical text. Those requirements include having no flaws or blemishes, even from the ear tags commonly used by ranchers in the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I mentioned this \u201cpractice run\u201d in a previous article.<\/p>\n<p>But to Stinson, it wasn\u2019t a \u201cpractice run\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>On Facebook, Stinson claimed that <a title=\"\u201cit was real and the first in 2000 years\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=782005944488473\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cit was real and the first in 2000 years\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is the burning from July 1. It was not on the Mount of Olives and some Jewish leaders feel it does not pass all requirements they support. But it was real and the first in 2000 years. Some will say all you need is to follow the Torah. We did that. Others have a higher standard under the Oral Torah. Many will never agree. But the world is changing fast. And I believe this ceremony changed something in the world. So it should be recognized as the first in over 2000 years. Will there be more?<\/p>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Will everyone agree that those will be the \u201cright\u201d one.<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>Many will continue to question and fight against the ceremony. I just think the world needs to know. The ceremony went perfect. With a perfect Priest. In a place outside of the camp. And, in the opinion of those I respect, we used a perfect red heifer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But not all of the Jewish traditions about a red heifer sacrifice were satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>So the Temple Institute and other Jewish authorities are never going to recognize the sacrifice that occurred on July 1st.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are some Jewish voices that are embracing what just happened. \u00a0For example, Adam King had a sample of the ashes of the red heifer that was just sacrificed sent to him, and he showed that sample off <a title=\"on Tim Pool\u2019s podcast\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5bW_S2ho1bE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on Tim Pool\u2019s podcast<\/a>. \u00a0King is claiming that people that have been sprinkled with the ashes of this red heifer <a title=\"have actually been healed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5bW_S2ho1bE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have actually been healed<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Apparently the recent sacrifice produced 10 and a half gallons of red heifer ashes, and samples have supposedly been sent all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>But the Temple Institute, which will actually be overseeing the future Temple in Jerusalem, says that all of the red heifers that had been brought to Israel ended up being disqualified and thus the ceremony that took place on July 1st was just a \u201ctest run\u201d&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>And I am sure that the Temple Institute will eventually conduct their own sacrifice when they feel that they have found a suitable candidate. <a href=\"https:\/\/endoftheamericandream.com\/there-is-debate-about-whether-the-red-heifer-sacrifice-that-took-place-in-israel-on-july-1st-was-the-real-thing-or-not\/\">https:\/\/endoftheamericandream.com\/there-is-debate-about-whether-the-red-heifer-sacrifice-that-took-place-in-israel-on-july-1st-was-the-real-thing-or-not\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is no surprise to me. I posted here a couple of times that the Jews could decided that this particular sacrifice could be considered valid. Yes, the Temple Institute could have another sacrifice in the future, but there is a chance, though, that they may accept this one. But even if not, many Jews are willing to resume daily sacrifices without an officially sacrificed red heifer. Biblically we know that the daily sacrifices will be re-instituted because the Bible shows they will be stopped (Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11).<\/p>\n<p>Let me add that a massive Jewish Temple is NOT needed to perform those sacrifices. The Jews only need an altar, a priesthood, a tent or other structure, and permission to conduct them from the government.<\/p>\n<p>They already have the first three (watch <a id=\"video-title\" class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\" title=\"Temple Institute, Heifers, Hamas, and a Tent\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D192KDS99IE\" aria-label=\"Temple Institute, Heifers, Hamas, and a Tent by BibleNewsProphecy 30 views 4 hours ago 14 minutes, 58 seconds\">Temple Institute, Heifers, Hamas, and a Tent<\/a>)&#8211;and representatives of both the Sanhedrin and the Temple Institute told me that they DO NOT need a temple for resuming sacrifices.<\/p>\n<p>And a Temple Institute member told me when I visited the Temple Institute that they would resume animal sacrifices once they attained government permission&#8211;he said they would start basically immediately after gaining that permission. He did NOT say that they needed a qualified red heifer for that (see my 2014 post: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/red-heifer-discovered-in-usa-temple-institute-wants-it\/\">https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/red-heifer-discovered-in-usa-temple-institute-wants-it\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Consider that after the first Jerusalem temple was destroyed and left in ruins, the Bible itself specifically shows that sacrifices were made in the time of Ezra BEFORE the second temple was ready:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"style1\"><p>1 And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. 2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God. 3 Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and evening burnt offerings. 4 They also kept the Feast of Tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings in the number required by ordinance for each day. 5 Afterwards they offered the regular burnt offering, and those for New Moons and for all the appointed feasts of the Lord that were consecrated, and those of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to the Lord. 6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, although the foundation of the temple of the Lord had not been laid. (Ezra 3:1-6)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There was NO mention of a red heifer being needed for this. There is no direct mention of any heifer in the Book of Ezra.

It shall be a statute forever to the children of Israel and to the stranger who dwells among them. (Numbers 19:1-10)<\/p>\n<p>While the red heifer is to have no blemish or defect, the number of possible hairs not being fully \u201cred\u201d is not mentioned. Jews have interpreted Numbers 19:1-10 to mean that another red heifer needs to be sacrificed for sacrifices to be resumed or for the Messiah to return. While that is not directly stated above, it could be implied from that one is again needed for those who do not accept Jesus came as the Messiah. And if those who want to sacrifice will not do so until they have a red heifer, then in that respect a red heifer is important. Certain Jews, like those of the Temple Institute, have added non-biblical requirements for the \u2018tenth red heifer\u2019 that while not biblically essential (and Jesus complained that the Jews in His day did that as well as is recorded in Mark 7:9-13), may be humanly necessary for the Jews to accept a particular red heifer as rabbinically valid.<\/p>\n<p>Now, presuming that the Temple Institute kept some of the ashes from the burning this week, it does have the ashes of a red heifer. That does not mean that they will not sacrifice a future red heifer, but let&#8217;s just say that they have ashes of a red heifer should they feel they are necessary for some of their objectives.

What does that mean? On 1July 2025, a red heifer was sacrificed in Israel. Over ten gallons of ashes of that red heifer were reportedly collected. Some believe this sacrifice fulfilled the requirements in the Old Testament, whereas others said this was only a practice run. The Book of Numbers teaches that the ashes of red heifer are required to be added to the waters of purification for the purifying of sin. Certain Jews want the ashes for reasons including another temple and animal sacrifices, whereas others assert that the sacrifices can be resumed without a red heifer approved by the Temple Institute or the reconstituted Sanhedrin. \u201cSo what?\u201d you say? \u201cWho cares if some Jews want sacrifice animals again?\u201d, you ask? Well, what if animal sacrifices are prophesied to begin again prior to the return of Jesus Christ? Would that make a difference? If all prophecy must be fulfilled, and it must, could their be any connection to the ashes of a red heifer? Since the Temple Institute disqualified the red heifer that was sacrificed 1 July 2025 as being ceremonially disqualified because of 2 or 3 non-red hairs, could it change its mind? Would never accepting that sacrifice delay the return of our Messiah? After all, all prophecy must be fulfilled. Dr. Thiel contends that the position of the Temple Institute regarding a few non-red hairs, as well as its posted position that the Messiah would be the one to sacrifice the last red heifer, are simply not biblical. Dr. Thiel also points to the sacrifice of Jesus as eliminating the need for Christians to have the ashes of a red heifer for purification. So, now what? Watch this video and listen as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy from the pages of the Bible on the Jewish need for the ashes of a red heifer and the resumption of animal sacrifices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here is a link to our video: <a id=\"video-title\" class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\" title=\"The Last Red Heifer?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dnSMD0SE0Rw\" aria-label=\"The Last Red Heifer? 14 minutes, 58 seconds\">The Last Red Heifer?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sacrifices will be resumed, with or without, a red heifer that the Temple Institute accepts.<\/p>\n<p>Biblical prophecies will be fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"video-title85\" title=\"Sanhedrin makes burnt offering to dedicate altar!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SUVWytS8vao\" aria-label=\"Sanhedrin makes burnt offering to dedicate altar! by BibleNewsProphecy 21 minutes ago 6 minutes, 57 seconds 18 views\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/sanhedrin.htm\">Nascent Sanhedrin and Prophecy<\/a>\u00a0The reconstituted Sanhedrin wants the reimplementation of animal sacrifices.
