IN the NEWS - Red Heifer NONSENSE

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro,
and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,....
Ephesians 4:14

The NONSENSE....
"There have been no animal sacrifices in Jerusalem since the Roman Empire destroyed the temple in 70 A.D. Some modern orthodox Jews, however, look for a time when daily animal sacrifices can be establishing again in Jerusalem on an altar that will first be cleansed by the ashes of a heifer colored red. Towards this end, some Rabbis are on a continuing quest to find such an unblemished animal.
Red heifers feature in end times tales in both Christianity and Judaism.
The cow’s birth and sacrifice is said to proceed the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.
And the Third Temple’s construction – following the destruction of the previous two – heralds the arrival of the Jewish Messiah.
While some Evangelical Christian theologians have linked the building of the Third Temple to Judgment Day.
Rabbi Chain Richman, director of the Temple Institute, hailed the red heifer’s birth as suggestions the time could be right for the Third Temple.
The Temple Institute announced the birth of the red heifer on their YouTube page with the video “Red heifer candidate born in Israel”. 
It includes a video of the red calf and its mother – revealing “a perfectly red heifer was born in the land of Israel”. 
The cow went under “extensive examination by rabbinical experts” who confirmed she is a “viable candidate for the Biblical red heifer”.
The Temple Institute believes a red heifer will be needed to be scarified to complete the ritual of purification for the temple – heralding the coming of the Jewish Messiah.
Red heifers have previously been found by the organization – who have then disqualified them for not meeting prophetic standards. Evangelical Christians believe the construction of the Third Temple all herald their own end times prophecy.
The prophecy has even been linked to the US President Donald Trump moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem.
Rabbi Hillel Weiss said he believes Trump’s decision over the embassy is the first stage of bringing about the end of days.
The Temple Institute has been preparing for the building of Israel’s Third Temple for many years. They now have all the furniture and utensils needed for the resumption of temple administration. These have all been made according to Biblical specifications." DailyStar/IrvinBaxter/BibleStudy.org

The Red Heifer has already been fulfilled.....
"The imagery of the blood of the heifer without blemish being sacrificed and its blood cleansing from sin is a foreshadowing of the blood of Christ shed on the cross for believers’ sin. He was “without blemish” just as the red heifer was to be. As the heifer was sacrificed outside the camp” (Numbers 19:3), in the same way Jesus was crucified outside of Jerusalem: “And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood” (Hebrews 13:11-12).
