Potential Prophetic Significance Found

As if the recent Passover celebration accompanied by a ³blood moon² didn¹t already have students of Bible prophecy in an excited and anticipatory frame of mind ‹ we got word of another event with potential prophetic significance this week.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
A fully ³red² cow, which at this point appears to qualify as the Red Heifer in accordance with biblical regulations, has been attracting increasing attention on a small farm outside of Lakewood, New Jersey.

A red heifer is necessary to produce the ash needed for the ritual purification process ‹ something that would be essential if Levitical sacrifices in Jerusalem were to ever be reinstituted.

Numbers 19:2-13 stipulates that the only way the Levitical priesthood can be purified after contact with the dead is to be sprinkled with water that is a mixture of hyssop, cedar-wood, scarlet, and the ashes of a red heifer ‹ in Hebrew, a Parah Adumah.

For a red cow to be ³kosher² it must be totally red. A mere two black or white hairs, in close proximity to each other, would disqualify it. Several rabbis have inspected this particular animal and thus far have all pronounced the animal kosher.

Intriguingly, the owner of the cow is the son of Holocaust survivors. Herbert Celler has lived in the Lakewood area since 1961 and attended the Betzalel Hebrew Day School.

 In an article appearing in The Times of Israel titled ³A Passover Sign from God?,² Israeli journalist and television host Simcha Jacobovici wrote:

Depending on where you stand on this issue, the arrival of [this Red Heifer] in Jerusalem could be bad news or good news. On the one hand ‹ coming at a time of genocidal nuclear threats against Israel from Iran ‹the cow could be seen as a sign of Apocalyptic times. On the other hand, it could also be seen as a sign of the imminent arrival of the Messiah whose task it is to defeat the forces of evil and inaugurate an era of peace.

To thank you for your contribution today, we¹d like to send you a special set of resources to help you understand the exciting Last Days we are living in. With the Blood Moons DVD by Pastor Mark Biltz you will discover how God uses heavenly signs and how you can recognize the signs of things to come.
