Knock, Knock; Who’s There? The Red Heifer

 

Most of you know that Bible prophecy predicts there will be a third temple and that the third temple will be desecrated by the antichrist when he performs the abomination of desolation. You will also see in the verses below that this will occur near the midpoint—1290 days—of the last 7 years, and the great tribulation—Seal 5—begins after the abomination of desolation. 

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Dan 12:11

 

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mt 24

 

Notice also in the verses below that the Day of Christ/Lord comes after the abomination of desolation. Also remember that the rapture occurs during the Day of the Lord. 

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2

 

So, obviously these end times events cannot occur until the third temple is in place. It has been reported for many years that the Jews have all that is needed for the construction of the third temple and are ready to build it, except for one thing, a red heifer is needed to dedicate it. In past years several candidates for red heifers have come forth, but to date none have qualified until possibly now. 5 red heifer candidates have just been flown to Israel. 

The Temple Institute and Boneh Israel made a huge step towards reinstating the Temple service on Thursday when five red heifers landed at Ben Gurion International Airport. 

The red heifer was the main component in the Biblically mandated process of ritual purification for impurity that results from proximity or contact with a dead body.  Because the elements needed for this ceremony have been lacking since the destruction of the Second Temple, all Jews today are considered ritually impure, thereby preventing the return of the Temple service. The Temple Institute launched its  Red Heifer program about a decade ago, led by Rabbi Azariah Ariel…

So, will one of these red heifers be used to dedicate the third temple and usher in the era of the false messiah? Time will tell but some Jews are already declaring that the year 5783 that begins on 9/25/22 will be the year in which the ceremony of the Red Heifer will be performed. 

If this is the case, then we are not far from when the false messiah arrives on the scene and performs the abomination of desolation after which Israel will flee into the wilderness and the great tribulation will begin. 

Note: My research has led me to believe that the abomination of desolation which is near the midpoint will occur in the spring of a year. Thus, if it were to occur in the spring of 2023, the temple would need to be in place by then, and a lot would have to happen between now and then for that to occur. Thus, the years 2024 and beyond would be better possibilities for the abomination of desolation and the arising of the antichrist, but you never know. 

After Israel flees the antichrist will then take over the world, and the Seal 5 persecution of Jews and Christians—great tribulation—will begin where no one can buy or sell without taking the mark of the beast as seen in the verses below. 

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Rev 12

 

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev 13

 

So, in the next year or so, will we be on the threshold of the third temple and all the midpoint end times events surrounding it, which presupposes that the last 7 years has already begun? Is the antichrist near to coming onto the scene? Is the Seal 5 mark of the beast and the war against Jews and Christians looming in the near future? 

Regardless of when, these events will eventually happen, have you prepared for the end times? Remember, the rapture will not occur until after Seal 6 has been opened. 

BTW, here is what the long-range forecast is showing for 10/29/22—Hurricane Hermine hitting Florida.

 

And then another one on 10/6/22—Hurricane Ian. Of course, these are long range models, and they can change many times.

 

Note: Hermine just formed off Africa and is supposed to dissipate. But the next named storm is to be Ian and the models are showing it hitting Florida.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36
