First, let me say this article is “not” about your wives, men! It’s about the famous “red heifer” (parah adummah) in the Torah. We have just been told that the Temple Institute in Jerusalem, has purchased what they believe to be “the next” red heifer for purification purposes. This cow has to be red in color without any defects, or even one white hair on it. Also, it can never have had a yoke put on it. It was always slaughtered outside the Temple gate (like Yeshua was), and then its’ ashes are mixed with spring water and used as a purification from impurity. According to the tractate PARAH of the Mishna, only the High Priest was entitled to slaughter the animal. The ashes were used to sprinkle on someone who had become ritually unclean by contact with a corpse. Before we touch Yeshua, we are dead in sin, “we” are the corpse.

The heifer was burned whole with cedar wood, crimson thread, and hyssop. These three items we see running all through the Torah, from Passover up to the crucifixion tree of Yeshua. What is also interesting, is the fact that whoever prepared the ashes became unclean, but whomever they were sprinkled on became clean. Anyone who had any part in the preparing of the heifer had to wash their clothes and bathe afterward, they were considered unclean until nightfall. It’s like when Yeshua had to take on our sins and become unclean, yet when we take him, we become clean. It’s a well known fact that all the vessels and even the priests have all been prepared to start the Temple sacrifices again. They’ve purchased the red heifer. All they need now is a stone bridge built across the Kidron valley and it’s showtime. Time is running out, so keep your eyes on current events going on in Israel and watch for the debut of the red heifer!
