1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,800 So what's the deal with the red heifers? 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,440 There's a lot of anticipation and confusion 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,760 when it comes to the prophetic red heifers of Israel. 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,040 These biblical bovines have drawn the attention 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,640 of people around the entire world. 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,840 And for those who understand their importance 7 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,620 to the end times eschatology, the excitement is palpable. 8 00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:26,920 Yet there are many who do not seem to have a grasp 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,160 on what these cows referenced in both the Old 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,360 and New Testaments signify and dismiss them immediately. 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,000 For Christians, believers in Jesus Christ, 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,800 the significance of the red heifer is not that it is used 13 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,280 to ceremoniously purify priests outside 14 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,560 of the Holy of Holies. 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,360 Too many people appear to think that is the case 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,480 when it's not. 17 00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:55,040 But the red heifers are significant 18 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,020 when it comes to eschatology or the study of the end times 19 00:00:59,020 --> 00:01:00,680 as described in the Bible. 20 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,160 This is why biblical discernment, knowledge, 21 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,960 and wisdom is so crucial for Christians, 22 00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:11,240 especially in the days we are currently living in. 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,120 There are far too many verses in the Bible to go over 24 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,560 in this one video that encourage anyone who reads it 25 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,440 about the importance of interpretation 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,440 of the world around you using discernment granted to us 27 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,200 by the Holy Spirit. 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,920 So why care about these cows that Christians do not believe 29 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,440 are necessary for purification and salvation? 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,360 To consolidate a highly volatile subject 31 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,620 such as biblical prophecy during the end times, 32 00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:45,640 of which people still cannot agree on many of the events 33 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,420 still to take place, the belief of many according 34 00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:52,760 to the prophets of the Bible is that there is still 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,440 a third temple to be built, most likely on the Temple Mount 36 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,040 where the Holy of Holies is believed to have existed. 37 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,040 Now this poses some very serious world altering issues 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,200 because currently the Dome of the Rock sits 39 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,040 atop the Temple Mount. 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,760 And if the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock 41 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,360 were to be removed, well, the odds are you could expect 42 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,360 violence, chaos, and war to break out across the world. 43 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,160 But Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24 that the end times 44 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,700 would see such wars and rumors of wars, 45 00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:33,280 so it is a possibility. 46 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,440 However, for those of the Jewish faith, 47 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,620 the third temple is a very real event that many pray 48 00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:42,740 for the day of its reinstatement. 49 00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:46,140 In fact, the Temple Institute in Jerusalem, 50 00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:50,700 as written on their website, is dedicated to every aspect 51 00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:54,760 of the Holy Temple of Jerusalem and the central role 52 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,200 it fulfilled and will once again fulfill 53 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,220 in the spiritual wellbeing of both Israel 54 00:03:01,220 --> 00:03:03,800 and all the nations of the world. 55 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,680 The people at the Temple Institute have faithfully restored 56 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,800 and constructed the vessels which the Jews hold sacred 57 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,420 for the third temple. 58 00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:16,780 One of the last pieces they need is the ashes 59 00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:21,780 of a pure red heifer mixed with cedar and hyssop 60 00:03:21,820 --> 00:03:25,540 to perform the ceremony as dictated by the Lord 61 00:03:25,540 --> 00:03:27,100 in Numbers 19. 62 00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:32,100 Now, Revelation 11 and Daniel 9 are just some of the places 63 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,760 in the Bible which talk about this restored temple, 64 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,920 so expect to see it happen during the end times 65 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,800 and be ready for what follows. 66 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,520 But having a pure of age red heifer is an indicator 67 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,680 for Christians that these days are fast approaching. 68 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,900 The increase of knowledge, another biblical prophecy 69 00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:57,960 that is being fulfilled each and every day, 70 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,560 is only getting faster and faster. 71 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,100 Evil is permeating the world just like in the days of Noah, 72 00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:07,960 perhaps even more so with how wicked people are acting 73 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,000 in cultures worldwide. 74 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,400 Even the terrorists of Hamas have come out recently 75 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,400 and said part of the reason for the massacre 76 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,720 they committed on October 7th, 77 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,980 and one of the targets was the red heifers. 78 00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:26,640 You can find the article on the Hamas spokesman's statements 79 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,160 in the description below. 80 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,160 They fear these animals because of what they represent, 81 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,940 and that is the rebuilding of the third temple, 82 00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:40,400 a sure sign of the end times and the revelation 83 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,800 of the Antichrist. 84 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,440 This is why Christians need to pay attention 85 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,880 and discern what is taking place in the world. 86 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,240 No, we do not believe as the Jews do in the purification 87 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,120 through the blood of the red heifer, 88 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,460 because we believe in the purification 89 00:04:56,460 --> 00:04:58,220 through the blood of the lamb. 90 00:04:58,220 --> 00:05:02,320 But these things, these events must happen 91 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,000 and come to pass before the return of Jesus Christ. 92 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,260 But don't just take my word for it. 93 00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:11,900 Take time to study and meditate 94 00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:14,560 on the word of God for yourselves. 95 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,440 Study the words of the prophets in the Old Testament 96 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,540 and learn about what must take place 97 00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:24,240 during the end times in Matthew 24 98 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,080 and the book of Revelation. 99 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,720 Also, do not forget that the disciple John, 100 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,060 who was entrusted with the Revelation, 101 00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:36,320 starts off the book by telling the readers, 102 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,100 we will be blessed by reading it 103 00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:41,820 and keeping the word near to our hearts. 104 00:05:41,820 --> 00:05:45,000 So if you truly, really want to know 105 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,400 what is going on in the world today, 106 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,440 look at the events such as the red heifers 107 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,680 taking place through a biblical lens. 108 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,500 Use biblical knowledge and wisdom 109 00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:57,580 to discern the signs of the times 110 00:05:57,580 --> 00:05:59,640 and move forward in faith. 111 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,340 While warring against the principalities, 112 00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:04,520 powers, and rulers of darkness 113 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,420 as all Christians are commanded to do. 114 00:06:07,420 --> 00:06:09,680 I'm James Lasher with Charisma Media. 115 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:30,680 God bless you.
