 “This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke” (Numbers 19:2). The Jews who are preparing for the Third Temple are on an endless search for the perfect red heifer from which they can create the water of purification. The search is endless only because they are following rabbinical tradition rather than the Word of God. 

According to their tradition, without spot or blemish means not one mis-colored hair, not the tiniest imperfection. The Temple Institute has attempted to produce pure red heifers from Texas Red Angus stock for many years. In September 2022, the first red heifers arrived in Israel, but they aren’t perfect enough—a black hair here, a white hair there. 

The heifers are the central attraction of a new research center in Shiloh, the location of the tabernacle and the Levitical sacrifices for nearly 400 years. Most recently, the best heifer (which they named Temimah or perfect) was found to have a tiny mark left by a livestock tag. The mark has grown over, but there is a fervent debate as to whether this disqualifies Temimah. No doubt they will figure it out when it is time for the temple to be constructed, which could be very soon.

 According to the famous 12th century rabbi Maimonides (Rambam), only nine red heifers were sacrificed in Israel’s ancient history, and the Messiah will offer the 10th (“Biblical Red Heifer,” Israel365 News, July 16, 2023). 

Since the Messiah is in heaven on the right hand of God, the deed will be accomplished by the Antichrist who will make it possible for the Third Temple to be built (Revelation 11).

The Bible makes no mention of a 3rd Temple yet to be built. Born-again Christians are the temple of God.  God destroyed the last Jewish Temple in 70 AD because the need for sacrificing animals for the atonement for sin was FINISHED on the cross.  Attempts have been made over the centuries to rebuild the Temple, but they were destroyed before completion. Will that happen again?  

The Many Failed Attempts to Rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem

The Third Temple simply refused to be built.  by Krystian Gajdzis

614 AD would see yet another attempt to rebuild the Jewish Temple  The final premodern attempt to begin construction of the Third Temple began with the fall of Jerusalem to the forces of the Rashidun Caliphate in 637 AD.
