Red Heifer Update: Heifer Ashes & Spring Water Purification Practice

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on February 14, 2026 by paulthepoke

Numbers 19:5-6 And the heifer shall be burned in his sight. Its skin, its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall be burned. And the priest shall take cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn, and throw them into the fire burning the heifer.

First of all, as many Christians are acutely aware, animal sacrifices for sin are no longer required. However, these things are still prophesied. After all, the antichrist needs a Temple to defile.

To be clear, the red heifer is the symbol or type. Jesus Christ is the real deal, the fulfillment.

Samaria, Israel: Purification practice with heifer ashes and spring water mixture.

The ritual preparation of the red heifer follows precise steps laid out in the Bible and further elaborated by the Sages. The completely red cow, which must never have had a yoke placed upon it, is slaughtered and burned entirely—hide, flesh, blood, and dung—along with cedar wood, hyssop, and crimson thread. The ashes are then collected and mixed with spring water to create the mei niddah (waters of separation). This mixture is used in a specific sprinkling ritual: a kohen dips a bundle of hyssop into the water and sprinkles it on the impure person on the third and seventh days of their purification period. Only after this double sprinkling and the passage of seven days can someone defiled by contact with death enter the Temple precincts.

We do have a clarification regarding the remaining four heifers per the Berkowitz article from Israel 365 News.

The four remaining red heifers from Texas remain in Shiloh, their status as potential candidates for the actual ritual still intact despite the controversy.

This also appears to be a reversal from August 2025 when the Temple Institute announced all 5 heifers to be disqualified.

https://israel365news.com/411214/temple-institute-announces-all-texas-red-heifers-disqualified

Apparently one of the cows from Texas had warts on its neck and a broken tail which disqualified it as a perfect sacrifice.

It would appear the sacrificial burning event in July 2025 was a practice trial.

Red Heifer Update: Sacrificial Practice

Heifer burning practice started back in August of 2019.

Red Heifer Update: Heifer Burning Practice

~

Which brings us to a video from January 2026 at Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz YouTube Channel

Larry Borntrager is a non-Jew who has been caring for the red heifers in Shiloh. On July 1, one of the red heifers was burned in Samaria. As the heifers do not have ear tags or brands, they can only be identified by someone who knows them intimately, and the only person who does is Larry. Some people claim that the cow with an injured and shortened tail was intended for the practice burning, but refused to get onto the truck. These people claim that a “perfect cow” boarded the truck instead, and that the practice of burning was actually kosher, using a cow suited for the red heifer ceremony. Larry explains which cow is missing and what was its status.

Check out the Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz YouTube post below on the issue.

The innocent, shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross is the fulfillment of forgiveness and the release from sin.

Hebrews 9:22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

As the red heifer was and will be again sacrificed outside the city limits of Jerusalem, so was Jesus Christ. As the sacrifice of the red heifer is for the purification and consecration of the people of Israel, so was and is Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

Christ’s sacrifice is not only for the people of Israel, but for all the people of the world. He is the sacrifice for all sin for all time.

1 John 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

This Week in Prophecy: Shofar on Temple Mount; Turkey; Greta Again

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Temple, Teshuvah/Repent, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , on September 1, 2025 by paulthepoke

Joel 2:1-2 Blow the ram’s horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the Day of the LORD is coming; indeed, it is near, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like the dawn overspreading the mountains a great and strong army appears, such as never was of old, nor will ever be in ages to come.

The blowing of a shofar signaled many things in Biblical times. The shofar blast was a call to war and the prospect of danger. 

A shofar blast occurred this past week on the Temple Mount. See the link below.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=embed_video&v=790171380152613

This marks two years in a row a shofar has been blown on the Temple Mount. Last year on Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah, a group of 6 Jews managed to blast all 100 tones required for the feast.

For the First Time Since the Second Temple: Shofar Sounded on Temple Mount; Silver Trumpet Sounded as Call to War

During the season of Teshuvah or repent, it is a custom to blow the shofar daily. The trumpet is blown every day except Shabbat or the Sabbath (Saturday for us in western culture) and the last day of month of Elul. The trumpet is blown after the morning service.

The blowing of the shofar started with Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. The blowing of the shofar is associated with God descending to Mount Sinai and the gathering of nation Israel. This is where Moses is called to ascend the mountain to meet God (Exodus 19:13-19). This is when and where Israel received the law.

The shofar was a way to call soldiers. The trumpet preceded the Ark of the Covenant. 

2 Samuel 6:15 So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

The trumpet blast signified the beginning of the month (Numbers 10:10). 

Psalm 81:3-4 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day. For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. 

Some form of a trumpet blast(s) is used at Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). A trumpet blast also signals the beginning of Jubilee (Leviticus 25).

~

The Palestinian Authority has expressed their concern about the blowing of a shofar.

The P.A.’s Jerusalem Governorate warned in a statement that the Jewish tradition of sounding the shofar throughout the Hebrew month of Elul is “no longer a passing religious ritual, but has become one of the most dangerous tools of the occupation to impose its alleged sovereignty.”

The PA has called upon the United Nations to… “halt these attacks and provide international protection for Islamic and Christian holy sites”.

https://www.jns.org/pa-shofar-most-dangerous-tool-used-to-assert-sovereignty

“The blowing of the horn in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa is an extremely dangerous step. This ritual continues the religious ceremonies carried out by Jewish settlers and aims to change the current historical and legal status of Al-Aqsa.”

This Week in Prophecy: Trump & Heaven; Greater Israel; 3rd Temple; Peace & Security; Quakes

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Gospel, Prophecy, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 24, 2025 by paulthepoke

Galatians 2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

“I just want to end it. If I can save seven thousand people a week from getting killed, that’s pretty good. I want to get to heaven if possible. I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I hear I’m at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” -President Trump

Touting peace credentials before the LORD is not going to help your eternal heavenly cause…

Romans 3:27-28 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

One cannot work or earn their way to Heaven no matter what one does. This has always been the plan before creation. There is no act or deed we can do to merit eternal life.

2 Timothy 1:9 He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.

One’s great deeds will not get them into Heaven and eternal life with God.

See also Titus 3:5, Romans 4:4-5, Romans 11:6, Philippians 3:9, Romans 3:20, Galatians 5:4, 1 Corinthians 1:29-31, Romans 9:11-12, John 6:28-29, Isaiah 64:6, Jeremiah 9:23-24, Romans 4:2.

I don’t know what President Trump ultimately believes. Does he believe in Jesus’ work on the cross and His payment of sin for his personal salvation? That is between the Donald and our Creator.

Can God use a non believer to achieve His will? Yes, See Cyrus and Nebuchadnezzar as well as others.

Did God spare Donald Trump’s life from a bullet in Pennsylvania?

Encouraging President Trump’s spiritual advisors to have a sincere discussion with him. His current advisors include Paula White-Cain, Jennifer Korn, and Jackson Lane.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/president-trump-announces-appointments-to-the-white-house-faith-office

Paula White-Cain is his lead advisor. Count me suspicious of the President getting wise counsel with her history of pedaling the Prosperity Gospel on TV.

Prosperity gospel preachers teach their followers that the way to gain riches is to give more money to the kingdom, especially by giving to their churches and ministries. The quantity of material and financial prosperity one expects to gain is in proportion to what one gives.

https://learn.ligonier.org/articles/field-guide-on-false-teaching-prosperity-gospel

Material wealth, health, and happiness are the will of God and can be obtained through faith and positive thinking. The Prosperity Gospel assumes that material prosperity is a proof of God’s grace.

Preach this line of thinking to persecuted believers, brothers, and sisters in Christ in places like Rwanda, China, or Iran.

The Prosperity Gospel is a cruel lie.

Genesis 15:18-21 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates: the Kenite and the Kenizzite and the Kadmonite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Rephaim and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Girgashite and the Jebusite.”

These are the ultimate borders of nation Israel per God. They have yet to be realized.

This calls for the geography of Israel to stretch from the Nile River in Egypt to Euphrates River in the east. One could argue rather this implies the Arabian Peninsula or not.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently made waves on a TV interview with i24 News.

In the newly published interview he said he is on a “historic and spiritual mission” and expressed strong attachment to the vision of a Greater Israel, which is a longtime reference to Israel encompassing parts of Jordan, Egypt and Syria – along with the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.

It would appear the Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran is paying attention.

Isaiah 2:2 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

This Week in Prophecy: Temple Talk; West Bank; Syrian Barbarianism; British Education; Red Sea

Micah 4:1-3 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it. And many nations will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Then He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for strong nations far and wide. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war.

Coalition MKs to US Senate: “Recognize the right of the Jewish people to the Temple Mount”

“This is the place where our Temples stood, which were destroyed by the Babylonian and Roman empires about 2,500 and 1,900 years ago.”

The letter to the members of the Senate reads: “Today, while the sovereign State of Israel guarantees access to holy sites for all religions, the Jewish people are denied full and free access to their holiest site due to heavy international pressure. Official recognition by the world’s leading country and Israel’s great friend – the United States – could ensure historical justice.

“This decision is not just a symbolic gesture but a declaration of truth, a declaration of religious freedom and the restoration of historical justice. The United States has been and will always be a pillar of human rights and the protection of holy sites around the world. Especially after October 7, when Hamas and its allies declared war under the slogan ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ while desecrating the sanctity of the Holy Place, we call for support and promotion of this historic decision as a courageous and clear statement of the United States’ ongoing commitment to truth, justice, and religious freedom for all peoples.”

Great Britain: Sir Hamid Patel, has been appointed interim chairman of OFSTED (Office for Standards in Education). This is who the Brits have in charge of their education. This is a sea change from The Church of England.

Sir Patel is Mufti. According to Grok AI…

A “Mufti” in the context of Islam refers to a qualified Islamic scholar or jurist who is authorized to issue legal opinions or interpretations (known as fatwas) on matters of Islamic law (Sharia). The term comes from the Arabic word aftā, meaning “to give a legal opinion.” Muftis play a significant role in Muslim communities by providing guidance on religious, social, and legal issues based on their deep knowledge of the Quran, Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad), and Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh).

To become a Mufti, a person typically undergoes extensive education in Islamic studies, mastering areas such as theology, law, and Arabic language. Historically, Muftis have been appointed by governments or religious institutions in some Muslim-majority countries, while in other contexts, they earn their status through recognition by their peers and community for their expertise.

Red Heifer Update: No Candidates at This Time… Attitudes Are Changing

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on March 9, 2025 by paulthepoke

Numbers 19:1-2 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.

“At this moment, we don’t have in our possession in Israel a red heifer that is verifiably kosher and suited for the ceremony. About two years ago, five excellent red calves were brought to Israel. They had been checked and certified in America as perfectly red but several months after they arrived, they began to grow white hairs. There is an ongoing discussion in the Temple Institute regarding their suitability about whether the proximity of the hairs to each other disqualifies the cows or not.”

“The question now is how to proceed. There are several essential questions that must be addressed regarding the cows themselves and other issues surrounding the issue of the Temple and the Temple service. We are speaking with a wide range of rabbis and professionals about these issues we haven’t dealt with in over 2,000 years.” -Rabbi Azariah Ariel

Red Heifer Update, August 2024

“The American Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, went to the Temple Mount and stated that it is time for us to move forward and build the Temple. This interest is seen on the internet on sites like Wikipedia where there are spikes in views on the articles about the red heifer. This is on articles in English and even Arabic, as well as other languages. But there is not such an interest in red heifer articles in Hebrew.”

Sanhedrin, Rabbis & Trump

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Sanhedrin, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 16, 2025 by paulthepoke

Ezra 1:2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the LORD God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah.

Let’s be up front and honest, there is an expectation for President Donald Trump to facilitate the building of the third Temple in Jerusalem.

The Sanhedrin has previously connected the dots from King Cyrus to President Trump.

An open letter to President Trump from the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem…

“You have been elected to fulfill a heavenly mission.” -Nascent Sanhedrin

Letter from the Nascent Sanhedrin to President Donald J. Trump
Jerusalem, Wednesday, February 12, 2025

Dear Honorable President Donald Trump,
May Hashem, the Creator, bless you and your nation! We extend our heartfelt gratitude for bringing faith to the forefront of American and global culture through the establishment of the Faith Office in the White House. Your recognition of the importance of religion in public life is a step toward restoring moral values and spiritual leadership in the world.

The Universal Moral Code
The Book of Genesis has a profound message of unity and divine purpose for humanity through three fundamental principles:

  1. One God – To recognize the cause of all causes (Genesis
    1:1    ).
  2. One First Man – To affirm the basic equal rights of humanity
    (Genesis 1:26).
  3. One Basic Law – To establish universal principles of justice
    (Genesis 2:16)

Without a constructive moral framework, humanity descends into violence and destruction, as exemplified by Cain’s murder of Abel (Genesis 4:8). Every nation has unique strengths and resources, yet no nation is self-sufficient. Without a Universal Ethical Common Code, people resort to war and oppression to obtain what they need. With such a code, nations engage in spiritual commerce and a race for virtue.

~

The First Commandment and the Seven Laws of Noah

  • The first time the word “commandment” appears in the Bible is when Hashem commanded Adam: “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying: Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat.” (Genesis 2:16)
    This verse alludes to the seven universal laws that form the foundation of ethical behavior for all humanity. These laws reflect seven of the Ten Commandments.
  • These ethical principles were reaffirmed at Mount Sinai when Hashem revealed Himself to the world, and our ancestors witnessed this divine event.
  • The Jewish, Christian, Muslim and all monotheistic traditions recognize the divine revelation at Mount Sinai as a foundational moment in history.
  • When Hashem gave the Children of Israel the Torah, He provided an ethical standard for the entire world. This standard is known as the Seven Commandments of Noah, which form the basis of universal morality.
  • When a person accepts the Seven Noahide Laws, they receive divine blessings:
  1. A Neshama (Soul) – The soul that animates the body and connects a person to Hashem.
  2. Righteous Among the Nations – A person who upholds these laws is considered righteous and honored before Hashem.
  3. A Share in the World to Come – Those who follow these principles merit a place in the hereafter.

~

Enclosed with this letter, we have included the Universal Ethical Common Code (UECC), which outlines the benefits of adopting the Seven Commandments of Noah.

The Role of Ethics in Business

A businessman who commits to being Honest and Good in the Eyes of Hashem will seek trustworthy partners.

  • Who would he prefer to do business with? An atheist who may cheat and deceive? Or someone committed to Hashem, who upholds honesty and integrity?
  • A business owner will seek to hire workers who are loyal and committed to the success of the enterprise.
  • A worker will prefer to work for an employer who ensures fairness and ethical treatment.

By aligning economic relationships with divine morality, business and ethics become intertwined, fostering prosperity and trust.

In 2017, the Nascent Sanhedrin minted a special coin featuring your image on one side and Cyrus the Great on the other. This symbolized your historic role, likened to that of Cyrus, who was chosen by Hashem to fulfill a divine mission.

The Chinese appreciated this idea so much that they reproduced and sold millions of copies of these coins and other products featuring your image alongside Cyrus the Great.

You have been elected, as Cyrus was in his time, to fulfill a heavenly mission: To unite all believers in God and foster ethical cooperation across all spheres of human activity.

A Call to Establish an International Divine Court – IDC.

We invite you to meet with the Sanhedrin Court Rabbis in Jerusalem to discuss the establishment of an International Divine Court (IDC) for all nations. This court would be based on the seven universal commandments given to Noah and reaffirmed at Mount Sinai, a foundation for global peace and divine justice.

May Hashem bless you with wisdom, strength, and success in your divine mission.

The religious leaders in Israel are looking for the Messiah. There is demand for a leader to solve global problems and bring about peace and justice.

Mark 13:14 But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. -Jesus quoting Daniel 9

As of February 2025, we are not in the tribulation. There is no Temple. There is no antichrist. We don’t know the twists and turns to the inevitability of these events. But, it’s coming.

Tisha B`Av/9th of Av, 5784/2024, Talking Red Heifer & Third Holy Temple

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Sanhedrin, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , on August 10, 2024 by paulthepoke

Exodus 25:8 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

Tisha b’Av:  to the Jew, this is a date, the 9th of the Hebrew month Av. It is the 11th month of the civil calendar or the 5th month of the religious calendar. The month is not named in the Bible. Av usually occurs during July or August on the Gregorian calendar.

This year, the 9th of Av begins at sunset on Monday, August 12, 2024 on our western Gregorian calendar.

The Temple Institute in Jerusalem continues to look forward to the construction of the 3rd Holy Temple on the 9th of Av…

Temple Institute…

The three weeks of mourning which stretch from the fast of the 17th of Tammuz to the fast of the 9th of Av may be a time for some people to look backward and dream about the Holy Temple that was. Not so for the people that make up the Temple Institute. The Temple Institute is forever looking forward and working tirelessly to educate Israel and the world about the importance of the Holy Temple in our future, while always training and preparing in every way possible for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple and the renewal of the Divine service, soon, and in our days!

The Temple Institute is talking about the red heifers, Temple service, priestly garments, the Levitical choir, Yeshiva, Law study, Holy Temple study.

And lastly… Build the Temple!

http://www.templeinstitute.org/

The 9th of Av is a day of mourning in Israel. Tragedy came about because of the account of Numbers 13-14. This event occurred immediately after God had delivered Israel out of bondage in Egypt. The short story is the Lord told Moses to send a group of spies to go scout the Promised Land. The spies came back and proclaimed the Jews could not take the land because of the inhabitants of the land were too big and too strong. The people rebelled against Moses. The people stated they would rather go back to Egypt. The nation (except Caleb and Joshua) did not believe God to give them the Promised Land. We know it occurred during the grape harvest per the text (Numbers 13:20). This event is said to have occurred on the 9th of Av. God pronounced judgment on the nation at that time. And this date is said to be a reminder of nation Israel’s lack of faith in God.

Here is a list of Jewish history on the 9th of Av.

  1. 586 BC, the first Temple was destroyed.
  2. 70 AD, the second Temple was destroyed.
  3. 135 AD, Betar fell. It was the last fortress to hold out against the Romans during the Bar Kochba revolt.
  4. 136 AD, one year after the fall of Betar, the Temple area was plowed.
  5. 1290 AD, Jews were expelled from England.
  6. 1492 AD, King Ferdinand of Spain issued the expulsion decree, setting Tisha B’Av as the final date by which not a single Jew would be allowed to walk on Spanish soil.

And…

Jesus prophesied there would be a third temple. There has to be a third temple. The antichrist will stand there and declare himself to be God.

Mark 13:14 “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…” -Jesus

This Week in Prophecy: Pool of Siloam, Temple Mount, Hezbollah’s Nasrallah, Egyptian Inflation

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Egypt/Nile River, Prophecy, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 10, 2023 by paulthepoke

On This Week in Prophecy:

For the first time in 2,000 years, people will be able to visit the Pool of Siloam. The original pool was rediscovered in 2004. The original size of the pool is believed to be approximately 1.25 acres.

The pool was first mentioned in 2 Kings 20:20 as part of King Hezekiah’s water project.

2 Kings 20:20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and all his might, and how he constructed the pool and the conduit and brought water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Reverend Johnnie Moore, President of the Congress of Christian Leaders had the following quote per Fox News.

“This news means that one of the most important archeological discoveries in history can soon be seen by visitors from all over the world. It will affirm all they believe. Having faith is part of worshipping God, but faith alone isn’t required to believe. There are historic facts attesting to the truth of Scripture.”

“In the Pool of Siloam, we find evidence of history preserved for us, revealed at just the right time. This is a truly historic event. Theologically, it affirms Scripture, geographically it affirms history and politically it affirms Israel’s unquestionable and unrivaled link to Jerusalem. Some discoveries are theoretical. This one is an undeniable. It is proof of the story of the Bible and of its people, Israel.”

Jesus Himself verifies the name of the Pool of Siloam.

John 9:7 And He (Jesus) said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Minister of National Security, went to the Temple Mount. And the world freaked out and held emergency meetings at the United Nations. The claim, the status quo on the Temple Mount was violated.

Ben-Gvir spent 13 minutes on the Temple Mount. He walked around, end of story.

What is going on with the health of Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah? It depends on the news source.

Iran says he has the flu. Israel says he’s had a couple of strokes. The news has been silent on this for about a week and a half.

Hyperinflation is beginning to settle into Egypt. The currency is worth less and less every day. The Egyptians have taken a $3,000,000,000 (billion) loan from the International Monetary Fund. These are the consequences of the war in Ukraine with Russia’s invasion.

Red Heifer Update: 5 Red Heifers Flown to Israel from Texas

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 15, 2022 by paulthepoke

Breaking PROPHETIC News!!! The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has received 5 red heifers from 2 different ranches in Texas. The heifers were jetted from Texas to JFK Airport in New York to Ben Gurion Airport outside of Tel Aviv, Israel.

The red heifers will be quarantined for 10 days in Haifa, Israel before being transferred to two locations. One is a secret, pre-determined location. The other is a public location where the public is welcome to view the heifer candidates.

Per the Temple Institute, all 5 red heifers have been inspected to be perfect and meet the criteria of Numbers 19:1-2.

According to Jewish tradition, historically there have been 9 perfect red heifers. The 10th perfect red heifer is to coincide with the advent of the Messiah and the third Temple.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=627767238738594

Let’s look at the qualifications of the red heifer per the Bible in Numbers 19:1-2.

Numbers 19:1-2 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.

The ashes from the sacrifice of the red heifer are necessary for purification prior to the building of the Temple.

Interpretation of verses provided by the Temple Institute. This is the criteria used for the identification of the red heifer.

…and take a heifer… Since the verse instructs us to take a heifer, we do not purchase a calf and wait for it to grow older while in our custody; “and take a heifer” means that the act of acquisition has to take place while the animal is a heifer. However, if a red calf is available, a price can be set with its owner, and the transaction can be concluded, but we do not take possession until it reaches the proper age as mandated by the Bible.

A heifer by definition is a female cow.

…an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect… This means that the presence of as few as two hairs of any other color will render it invalid. Even its hooves must be red. It must also be totally free from any physical blemish or defect, whether internal or external. A list of blemishes that would disqualify the animal for sacrifice are noted in Leviticus 22.

…on which a yoke has never been placed. The red heifer must have never been used to perform any physical labor. This would include riding, or even leaning on her. But if a yoke were placed upon her even once, even if she were not used to plow – this would be enough to render the heifer unfit for use.

Three to four years of age is an oral tradition that has been passed down through the generations.

Red Heifer
The Red Heifer and the Third Temple in End-Time Prophecy

The innocent, shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross is the fulfillment of forgiveness and the release from sin.

Hebrews 9:22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

As the red heifer was and will be again sacrificed outside the city limits of Jerusalem, so was Jesus Christ. As the sacrifice of the red heifer is for the purification and consecration of the people of Israel, so was and is Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

Christ’s sacrifice is not only for the people of Israel, but for all the people of the world. He is the sacrifice for all sin for all time.

1 John 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Tisha B`Av/9th of Av, 5782/2022

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 31, 2022 by paulthepoke

Tisha B`Av or the 9th of Av, not a good day on the Jewish calendar. Av is a Hebrew month. It is the 11th month of the civil calendar or the 5th month of the religious calendar. It usually occurs during July or August in the Gregorian calendar. This year, the 9th of Av is observed on sundown of Saturday, August 6th and ends at sundown on Sunday, August 7, 5782/2022. The month of Av is not named in the Bible.

The 9th of Av is a day of mourning in Israel. Tragedy came about because of the account of Numbers 13-14. This event occurred immediately after God had delivered Israel out of bondage in Egypt.

A Cliffs Notes like version is the Lord told Moses to send a group of spies to go scout the Promised Land. The spies came back and proclaimed the Jews could not take the land because of the inhabitants of the land were too big and too strong. The people rebelled against Moses. The people stated they would rather go back to Egypt. The nation (except Caleb and Joshua) did not believe God to give them the Promised Land.

Numbers 13:20 …and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

We know it occurred during the grape harvest per the text (Numbers 13:20). This event is said to have occurred on the 9th of Av. God pronounced judgment on the nation at that time. And this date is said to be a reminder of nation Israel’s lack of faith in God.

Historically, the date has resulted in heartache for the Jewish people.

Here is a list of Jewish history on the 9th of Av/Tisha B `Av.

  1. 586 BC, the first Temple was destroyed.
  2. 70 AD, the second Temple was destroyed.
  3. 135 AD, Betar fell. It was the last fortress to hold out against the Romans during the Bar Kochba revolt.
  4. 136 AD, one year after the fall of Betar, the Temple area was plowed.
  5. 1290 AD, Jews were expelled from England.
  6. 1492 AD, King Ferdinand of Spain issued the expulsion decree, setting Tisha B’Av as the final date by which not a single Jew would be allowed to walk on Spanish soil.
  7. 1914 AD, World War I began the downward slide to the Holocaust.
  8. 2005 AD, Israel turns over the Gaza Strip.

We are less than two months from the onset of the Fall Feasts. It appears to be the close of a Sabbatical or Shemitah year. If history is any indicator, fasten your seat belts. Look at the world around us. There is significant geo political unrest. Global economies are headed towards recession. We are likely in for a wild ride.

Over the past few years, the Temple Institute has chosen to look to the future and the promise of the building of the third Temple on Tisha B`Av or 9th of Av. They have chosen to post videos regarding the reconstruction of the third Temple.

Keep in mind, what Christians call the Old Testament is the source of information that is being referenced during the video.

The following is from Temple Institute out of Jerusalem, Israel.

We recently took to the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and asked the question: “What would building the Holy Temple mean to you?” We asked Israelis and tourists alike: men, women, older people and younger, religious and not religious, and were amazed at their answers. Everyone took time to think, to take a deep breath, and to answer us honestly, some with great hope and anticipation, some with skepticism and trepidation, but all with sincerity and heart. And now we are asking you: “What would building the Holy Temple mean to you?” “If you woke up tomorrow and the Holy Temple was built, how would it change your life?” “Will it bring peace to the world?”

Tell us your thoughts! #bethechange
