First ‘red heifer’ born in Israel for 2,000 years
triggers Armageddon fears after Christian and Jewish holy books say it will ‘bring
the end of the world’
The
Temple Institute in Jerusalem said the calf underwent "extensive
examination by experts"
A
BIBLE prophecy predicting the end of days is feared to come true after the
first ‘red heifer in 2,000 years’ was born in Israel.
The
Temple Institute in Jerusalem announced the calf’s birth on YouTube, saying it
would undergo “extensive examination” to determine if it is red all
over.
If the female baby cow is found to be “blemish
free”, the Institute will declare that the calf “brings the promise of
reinstating Biblical purity to the world”.
In
both Christianity and Judaism, the red heifer is central to the prediction
about the “end of times”.
After
sacrificing the red cow, construction can begin on the Third Temple in
Jerusalem.
The
Temple Institute and other groups worldwide were set up with the goal of
building the Third Temple on Mount Moriah, or on the Temple Mount.
The
Bible states that after the birth of a perfectly red female calf, the Jewish
Messiah will return
The
Temple Institute in Jerusalem has released a video explaining the birth's
significance
THE
END OF DAYS
The
red heifer (also known as the red cow) was a cow brought to priests for
sacrifice in the Hebrew Bible.
Jewish
and Christian fundamentalists believe that once a red heifer is born, they will
be able to rebuild the Third Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
But
in order to do this, they would have to demolish what stands on the hill today
– the Dome of the Rock, an Islamic holy temple.
In
mainstream Orthodox Judaism, once the Temple is rebuilt the world will welcome
the coming of the Jewish Messiah.
Humanity
will then face the Last Judgment.
Everyone
who was moral and believed in God will have the privilege of having their name
written in the Book of Life.
Everyone whose name isn’t in there will be “cast
into the lake of fire” (Revelation
21:8)
But
some theologians say the building of the Third Temple is linked to ‘Judgement
Day’ or the “end of times”.
This
apocalyptic event will bring what Christians call "the rapture"
- where all Christian believers (living and dead) will rise into the sky and
join Christ.
The
fate of non-believers isn't quite so promising. For them the rapture means
everlasting punishment of their souls in hell.
Rabbi
Chain Richman, director of the Institute, believes the time is ripe to build
the Third Temple, following the birth of the red heifer.
After
its birth, the calf has been examined extensively by “rabbinical experts” who
confirmed she is a “viable candidate for the Biblical red heifer”.
But
the cow could be disqualified due to “natural causes”.
The
Temple Institute founded a Raise a Red Heifer in Israel program three years ago.
They
have since hoped to breed a perfectly red cow with the imported frozen embryos
of red angus cows what are then implanted into domestic cows.
A
board of rabbis have verified the cow fulfils the requirements of the prophecy,
reports Breaking Israel News.
