The war in Middle-East, the red heifers,and the messiah
I have kept quiet on the recent events that have clashed Hamas and Israel for many reasons. Today, I am starting a short series on End Times to help you better understand what is at stake in the Middle East and in many other parts of the world.
Today’s teaching represents the ‘ground floor’ of many things that need to be understood when we look at the world’s history clock.
It’s very important that, as Chrsitians, we fully understand the trajectory of the world so that we do not fall prey to discouragement, faithlessness and deception.
The Hamas attack on Israel
On October 7th of the year 2023, the Hamas movement attacked Israel civilians at the Re’im music festival. As a result of the attack, many people died, others were injured and a significant number of individuals were taken hostage.
As most of you know, Israel retaliated by attacking Gaza where many of the Hamas members live.
It is not the first time that the two protagonists have been going head to head. For decades, Israel has been fighting against some of its over territory disputes. Therefore, the conflicts of Israel against Hamas and against its neighbors can easily come across as regular occurrences to the eye of a person who is not spiritual.
A few months after the October 7th attack, the Hamas spokesperson explained some of the reasons as to why they had attacked Israel. One of the reasons was to prevent or discourage the sacrifice of reid heifers by the Jews.
Based on the comments made by the Hamas spokesperson, the current conflict is no longer just a territory dispute but it is also a religious or spiritual dispute. The reason why the world medi won’t discuss the ‘red heifers’ is because they (the world media) have no knowledge of the spiritual things. They (the world media) operate with their fleshly eyes.
One of the top reason why many diplomats and world leaders fail to work a peace agreement is because they (the world leaders) are trying to resolve the conflict by tackling physical problems (such as territory disputes, armaments,etc) but none of them (the world leaders) is discussing the ‘red heifers sacrifice’ because they are not knowledgeable of the spiritual things.
What are the red heifers?
The simple definition can be broken down as follow:
-A heifer is a female cow that has never given birth.
-A red heifer is a red female cow that has never given birth.
The red heifer in Biblical history
In the Bible, the book of Numbers 19 gives a description of what a red heifer sacrifice as follow:
‘The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: “This is a requirement of the law that the Lord has commanded: Tell the Israelites to bring you a red heifer without defect or blemish and that has never been under a yoke. Give it to Eleazar the priest; it is to be taken outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence. Then Eleazar the priest is to take some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting. While he watches, the heifer is to be burned—its hide, flesh, blood and intestines. The priest is to take some cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet wool and throw them onto the burning heifer. After that, the priest must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water. He may then come into the camp, but he will be ceremonially unclean till evening. The man who burns it must also wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he too will be unclean till evening.
(Numbers 19:1-8)
In the above passage, the red heifer, as required by God, had to be: ‘without defect and never yoked (or never used for any form of work).
The term ‘without defect’ is a reference to the fact that the red heifer must not have any defect, no hair of different colors. It must be perfectly red.
The red heifer sacrifice was mainly done for purification purpose.In other words, a red heifer was sacrificed to purify the people of Israel before entering God’s presence and/or before entering the Temple.
Did they find a red heifer?
The finding of a red heifer, worthy to be sacrificed, has been a big challenge to the Jewish people. Over the years, they could not find one that suited their requirements and they decided to find red heifers in Texas.
In the very recent years, they managed to buy and import 5 red heifers from Texas to Israel.
The Torah and the Jewish tradition
Now, please follow this part very well because if you can understand this section well, you will be way ahead when it comes to the knowledge of the End times:
There is a big difference between the Bible and the Torah. The Bible is made of the Torah (Old Testament) and of the New Testament. Jewish people do not follow the New Testament.
Please understand this well: ‘many of the current Jewish practices are rooted in the Torah and in religious Jewish books containing contents guiding their religion. There are quite a number of Jewish canonical books used to guide the Jewish people.
Many of the key information related to the red heifers are taken from both the Torah and those Jewish canonical books. This explains why some Jewish beliefs around the red heifer sacrifice will not be found in the Old Testament.
And this leads me to the next part of this post…
What will happen once a red heifer is sacrificed?
According to Jewish tradition, there has been only 9 perfect red heifers sacrificed. According to Jewish traditions (not the Bible), the tenth red heifer will be sacrificed by the messiah (please understand carefully what it means).
Jewish people are still waiting for the messiah at the time of the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple. That expectation is also known to the Arab world.
The Jewish believe that their messiah will protect and save them against their enemies. They also believe that their messiah will be an ‘all powerful being’.
When I make reference to Jewish traditions, I make reference to knowledge or information that can be accessed by the public. Consequently, that knowledge about the tenth sacrifice of the red heifer is also known to the neighboring Arab and Muslim countries.
Many Muslims believe that when the red heifer will be sacrificed,the Jewish people will destroy the Al-Aqsa muslim temple in order to replace it with the Third Jewish Temple.
Both Jews and Muslims believe that the key to building the third Temple and the coming of the Jewish messiah is depending on the sacrifice of the Red Heifer.
What is the timing of the sacrifice?
According to Jewish traditions, the red heifers must be 3 years old by the time of sacrifice. The currently bought red heifers are aged between 2 years 6 months and 3 years. It means that they do not have enough time left. If those red heifers get older than 3 years, it will render their project vain.
The enemies of Israel are trying to frustrate their efforts of sacrificing the red heifers by prolonging the schedule so that those red heifers will become older than three years.
Who will be the expected messiah?
Regardless of what he looks like, that messiah is not going to be Jesus. However, the arrival of that messiah will open doors to serious and tremendous confusion throughout the world. Not only that false messiah will claim to be Jesus, but there will be other people who will also claim to be the messiah (ref. Matthew 24:4-5). As a result, it will be a time of great confusion.
In order to not fall for any false messiah, you need to know this: ‘Upon His Second coming, Jesus will not the ground. He will stay in the air and He will rapture His church (ref. Matthew 24:30).
The passage of 1 Thessalonian 4:15-17:
‘ According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.’
Notice that we will meet Jesus in the air. Not in Jerusalem. Not in Washington. Not in Johannesburg nor in any place on Earth.
Netanyahu and the Rebbe
When Benjamin Netanyahu (the current Israeli Prime Minister) was an Ambassador at the UN in the 1980’s, he met a well respected Jewish Rabbi named Menachem Mendel Schneerson, also known as ‘the Rebbe’.
The Rebbe prophesied upon Netanyahu that he would be Israel’s last leader before handing the leadership of Israel to the messiah. It is possible that Netanyahu is living with the belief that his life mission revolves around that prophecy.
Why did I share this message?
The world is anxiously analyzing the Middle East conflict with carnal eyes without trying to understand the spiritual causes of the conflict. But, you, as a child of God, are not supposed to remain in the dark.
You should know the mysteries hidden under the layers of what is visible to the physical eye.
