I have not heard about a Red Heifer since the early 2000's. Israel didn't have a pure bread or they had only one left. Last I read online about them was they had to use DNA of another cow to try and make a Red Heiffer cow. After a few tries they finally got one. I assume they kept breeding them to get a more pure one. I still don't see the big deal about a red cow and I don't approve of burning it to death while alive if that is their intention. I say that because there was some animal I read in the bible, can't remember which hoofed one, they burned alive as a sacrifice.
Other than Israel still being under the old laws, covenant and not accepting the Christ it makes some sense that they would live by the old ways with sacrificing animals. They don't get the Christ took the place for not just human sins but for the animals who suffered for the original sin according to the bible that I think it meant.
Anyway killing a specific kind of animal or any for a sacrifice makes no sense to me. Hoofed animals, birds, fish for food yeah that I can see and accept.

Reason: pigs are horribly tortured so I don't see any sense in eating them.

...
I hear about it, every few months.
No reliable sources give any indication that the Jews have plans to make the sacrifice, but there is a lot of chatter among unreliable (and even seditious) sources. Let us leave it at that.
Any further discussion of Jewish and Christian rituals and beliefs should be in a different forum (outside of City Data).
(Washington Post is not a reliable source, BTW, and is pay walled.)
When you see other people who have more than you, and you have been raised that your way of life is superior, it is easy to assume that the 'other people' must be evil.
When I was young, Catholics and Protestants did not mix. I was raised that going to a Catholic church was the equivalent to stepping close to the doorway to hell. First time I went to a mass with a friend, part of me waited for God to punish me.
Fortunately, I had an English teacher in high school who challenged us. She assigned us topics for papers that made us uncomfortable. At that time, if you were not heterosexual, you were an abomination. She assigned us a paper wherein we had to defend our beliefs on the subject. That was only one example. She was a great teacher.
Religion has always been a trigger. Leaders look for someone to blame for what goes wrong because it allows them to control people. I worked with a Muslim girl. I asked her why they built a mosque on the site of King Soloman's temple. Didn't they think it would upset the Jews? Her response was that it didn't matter, because their religion was the only true, perfect religion so they were allowed to claim any site that THEY considered holy. She was totally serious.
From what I have learned from history, one religion taking over another religion's holy sites seems to be rather common.
As far as who owns a piece of land, it appears that land belongs to whomever can take and hold it.
As one of the common people, all I can do is to speak up when someone attacks my ideas and values as a red letter Christian; vote for the person I feel will be the best leader, and prepare for the worst.

I thought I was answering in this thread:
What still needs to happen before Christ's Second Coming? (protestant, Papacy, Baptist)

Reason: I don't know how the Red Heiffer got into this thread. Maybe a moderator can move it to the right place.
Red Heifer got into this thread because someone (not you) asked about it.
(They were asking about a rumor that is was about to happen.)
This thread: "who believes SHTF is about to happen" and I said things are stable for today, at least.
Were a Red Heifer to be sacrificed at (not in) the Temple, "SHTF would happen."
There wouldn't be any more "about to."
That is why they asked about it.
Not sure why someone else (not you or I) posted about a lamb being sacrificed
I guess they thought a heifer was a lamb.
Thank you for clarifying I thought I was loosing it when I couldn't find the post about that red cow. I just thought I was in that other thread. It gets confusing sometimes.
Yes I agree SHTF could happen then if they do sacrifice that Red Heifer but not sure about "would."
To me killing a that animal would not have any significance other than killing it for no good reason makes no sense. To me it's like killing cats and dogs which makes no sense me.

Reason: ok no more about the Red Heifer on this thread.
My crystal ball is cloudy, but I do believe we are in unprecedented times of chaos and unrest. It costs me very little EXTRA to be prepared. Yes ... I have bought some items to facilitate/aid my preparedness, but not too much. In fact most of what I need to survive in a SHTF event I already have since my rural life requires it.
I tried to include as many options as I think are relevant, but if your 'choice' isn't there say so and expound.
People have been talking about this since the '60s. Or earlier. In ancient times, it was will a giant fire-breathing sea monster swallow our city/country/continent?
I can say definitely, maybe. Maybe not.
And BTW, it's martial law, not Marshall Law. I think Marshall Law was on "Wanted, Dead or Alive." Or maybe "Gunsmoke."

So you think "being prepared" is a false dichotomy? Was Marshall dillion prepared?
