Are we close to the apocalypse? According to some Jewish expert, the signs are there!?
Citing the birth of a red heifer, said to be the first of its kind in Israel in 2000 years, The Temple Institute said it was the fulfilment of a Biblical prophecy.
According to The Temple Institute, the red heifer was born on August 28, 2018, and is being raised and specially cared for under the auspices of the institute's 'Raise a Red Heifer' program.
The Temple Institute said the heifer has undergone extensive examination by rabbinical experts, who determined that the heifer is currently a viable candidate for the Biblical red heifer, and will be examined again in three months time to determine whether it continues to possess the necessary qualifications.
This is not the first time red heifers have born in Israel. All the previous ones were disqualified for failing to meet all the prophetic requirements.
According to Jewish and Christian tradition, the sacrifice of a red heifer is essential to the construction of the third temple in Jerusalem, which would bring the coming of the Messiah and the final judgment.?
The second Jewish Temple at Temple Mount which was built on the site of where the Jews believe was original Temple built by King Solomon stood was destroyed by the Roman invaders around AD 70 CE.
Today, all that remains of the structure are parts of the Western Wall which is also called the Wailing Wall.
