Bible Question: What is the significance of the red heifer? |
Bible Answer: FYI from Mommapbs: Worth checking out. The young cow was certified to be kosher on April 5 by Rabbi Menachem Makover and Rabbi Chaim Richman of the Jerusalem-based Temple Institute. At the age of 3, if she stays red (one previous candidate in Texas developed white eyelashes), the heifer can be sacrificed in the ritual process of purification required by the Parasha Hukkat (chapters 19-22 in the Book of Numbers) for the building of the third Temple, the Holy of Holies. According to the Old Testament, this will bring the coming of the Messiah and the Day of Judgment -- but even this may not mean a resolution of the Middle Eastern crisis. Previous attempts by the Temple Institute group to place a symbolic cornerstone on the Mount have been blocked by Israeli authorities and provoked Arab riots. The red heifer, whose location is being kept secret for security reasons, may be admired on the Web site http://templeinstitute.org/current-events/RedHeifer/index.html |
