The Last Red Heifer?

Bible News Prophecy

The Last Red Heifer? What does that mean? On 1July 2025, a red heifer was sacrificed in Israel. Over ten gallons of ashes of that red heifer were reportedly collected. Some believe this sacrifice fulfilled the requirements in the Old Testament, whereas others said this was only a practice run. The Book of Numbers teaches that the ashes of a red heifer are required to be added to the waters of purification for the purifying of sin. Certain Jews want the ashes for reasons including another temple and animal sacrifices, whereas others assert that the sacrifices can be resumed without a red heifer approved by the Temple Institute or the reconstituted Sanhedrin.  “So what?” you say? “Who cares if some Jews want sacrifice animals again?”, you ask? Well, what if animal sacrifices are prophesied to begin again prior to the return of Jesus Christ? Would that make a difference? If all prophecy must be fulfilled, and it must, could there be any connection to the ashes of a red heifer?  Since the Temple Institute disqualified the red heifer that was sacrificed 1 July 2025 as being ceremonially disqualified because of 2 or 3 non-red hairs, could it change its mind? Would never accepting that sacrifice delay the return of our Messiah? After all, all prophecy must be fulfilled.  Dr. Thiel contends that the position of the Temple Institute regarding a few non-red hairs, as well as its posted position that the Messiah would be the one to sacrifice the last red heifer, are simply not biblical. Dr. Thiel also points to the sacrifice of Jesus as eliminating the need for Christians to have the ashes of a red heifer for purification. So, now what?  Watch this video and listen as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy from the pages of the Bible on the Jewish need for the ashes of a red heifer and the resumption of animal sacrifices.

00:00Greetings, friends. This is Steve Dupuy for the Bible News Prophecy Program with Dr. Bob Thiel,

00:10bringing you news and analysis of world events in light of Bible prophecy. Dr. Thiel, there seems to

00:16be a lot going on in the world today that ties in with biblical prophecy. Where do we stand with

00:22the sacrificial red heifer? Well, on December 28, 2024, I speculated, based on certain statements

00:29from the Temple Institute, as well as certain scriptures, as well as the age of certain

00:33red heifer candidists, that I thought there's a pretty good chance that one of the red heifers

00:38that the Temple Institute had would actually be sacrificed in 2025. And they did so on the

00:441st of July, 2025. So do the Jews now have the ashes they need to begin sacrifices again?

00:52Well, yes, but no. No, officially, the Temple Institute says this one was disqualified.

00:59But could it have counted or not? And did they need to do another one? Well, Michael Snyder

01:05posted something about this and said he looked into this because it was called a practice run

01:11and because they used a so-called disqualified red heifer. But Byron Stinson, the guy who brought

01:18the red heifers in from Texas, from Israel, who organized various things, said, no, this is the

01:24real thing. This is not a practice run. We did it all. It wasn't on the Mount of Olives,

01:31but the Bible doesn't say so. But we had a high priest. We did everything. So Snyder says,

01:38you know, Snyder thinks there'll be another one, maybe that the Temple Institute is going

01:43to do. But the reality is that they did do one. But he says that he doesn't think the Temple

01:49Institute will ever accept the particular one that was done.

01:54So if they don't accept it, it doesn't really make any sense to sacrifice a red heifer as

02:00a practice run and not make it as close to the real thing as possible, does it?

02:05No. I mean, they had their high priest do it. They went to their ceremony, do it. And by the

02:10way, in terms of ashes, because they want the ashes of red heifer. Supposedly, this produced

02:1510 and a half gallons of red heifer ashes. And samples have been sent all over the world.

02:20So if they want to throw red heifer ashes on anything, they can do this. But the Temple

02:27Institute says that, you know, they disqualified them. And Mike Snyder thinks that eventually

02:34the Temple Institute could go ahead and do another one. But anyway, this isn't any surprise

02:40to me. You know, I pointed out that the Jews could decide this particular red heifer

02:45sacrifice counted. And the reality is the Bible shows that sacrifices are going to be stopped

02:53and regular animal sacrifice. To be stopped, they have to be started. Now, let me also add,

02:59Mike Snyder thought that they have to have a temple for all this. And that's simply not

03:03the case. A massive Jewish temple is not needed to perform these sacrifices. All the Jews need

03:09is an altar, a priesthood, a tent, or other structure, and permission for the government.

03:15And they got three of those already. Okay. And furthermore, representatives of the Sanhedrin

03:21and the Temple Institute told me that they don't need a sample, a temple in order to do the

03:29sacrifices. And furthermore, when I visited the Temple Institute, a man there told me they would start

03:37the animal sacrifices once they get government permission. He said they would start basically

03:42immediately after getting permission. He didn't say, well, first, we need a qualified red heifer for

03:47that. Dr. Q, would you give us a little biblical history lesson on animal sacrifices and the need

03:54for sacrificing a red heifer? Well, first, as far as animal sacrifices, you see them in the book of

04:02Leviticus. But in the book of Ezra, in Ezra chapter three, starting in verse one, it talked about when

04:09the seventh month had come, which we call that the Feast of Trumpets began. They were there to do burnt

04:17offerings. And they kept, they also kept the Feast of Tabernacles a couple of weeks later. And they did

04:24these offerings. And verse six says, and the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt

04:30offerings to the Lord, although the foundation of the Temple of the Lord had not been laid. So a couple

04:37of very interesting things about that. One, they didn't have to have a temple for the sacrifices.

04:43Two, there was no mention of red heifer in there. Matter of fact, throughout the book of Ezra,

04:49they don't talk about anything red heifer needed. So they can do this.

04:53And by the way, after their red heifer sacrifice they had in July, 10 days later, after that

05:01sacrifice, I posted that they don't accept it, but they still might consider it valid, or they may

05:10never consider one valid. Why? One of the problems is that they say that it had a couple of black hairs.

05:18The Bible says a red heifer. And I'll later get to the scripture about that. It doesn't say it

05:23can't have any that aren't red. And that's actually one of the problems, because a lot of times,

05:32you know, the Jews rely on tradition more than they should scripture. Furthermore, let me go to

05:39the scriptures on this. Numbers 19, starting in verse one, speak to children of Israel, bring a red

05:46heifer without blemish and no defect, which a yoke hasn't been on. It doesn't say anything about the

05:51number of hairs on it. And you give it to the priest who sacrifices it. It's going to be burned at his

05:58sight. And then they get the ashes. And they're going to use it for purification. Okay, that's what

06:06the Bible says. It's a statute for the Jews forever. Would different color hairs be considered

06:15a blemish? I would say no, and there's nothing in the Bible. If God wanted the hair thing to be an

06:22issue, I think he'd have put down, it can't have any non-red hairs. And it's simply not the case.

06:30And then, you know, earlier this month, the Temple Institute, you know, they announced that all the

06:37red heifers they had were disqualified. And so they don't think it meets the requirement for their

06:44for their 10th red heifer. But the reality is, no matter what the Temple Institute thinks about

06:54red heifers, we know regular animal sacrifices are going to be re-implemented. Why do we know that?

07:00Because of what the Bible says in the book of Daniel. For example, Daniel chapter 9, verse 27.

07:07I'm going to read this from the New King James. It says, then he's going to confirm a covenant with

07:11many for one week, but in the middle of the week, he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.

07:18Now, this is a guy who's called a prince in the verse before. But in Daniel chapter 11,

07:23he's the king of the north by this time. And in verse 31, we read, forces are going to be

07:30mustered by him. They shall defile the sanctuary fortresses. Then they'll take away the daily

07:36sacrifice slices in place. There are the abomination desolation. So again, we see them being stopped.

07:43And then let's go to Daniel 12, verse 11.

07:46And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away and the abomination of desolation is

07:55set up, there should be 1,290 days. Blessed he has waits and comes to 1,330 days. By the way,

08:02we recently, I recently did a sermon on that. People can watch it to continue in COG channel.

08:07But anyway, since the sacrifices are going to stop, they have to start first. And actually,

08:15that's something that the Temple Institute and the Sanhedrin want. On the other hand,

08:22the Temple Institute has something else up on their page. And here's what it says, their website.

08:29The 10th red heifer will be prepared by the Messiah. In recounting the historical record,

08:36this commentary on the Mishnah, the great sage, Niamondi, ends with this statement.

08:44And the 10th red heifer will be accomplished by the king, the Messiah. May he be revealed

08:50spedily. Amen. May that be God's will.

08:53Is the Temple Institute actually saying that Jesus Christ is going to sacrifice a red heifer to

09:02himself? Well, yes and no. They don't believe Jesus is the Messiah. Now, we have a free book called

09:11Proof Jesus is the Messiah. People can get it at ccog.org. And I've got a chapter in here explaining

09:18to the Jews, based on their traditions, why they should accept Jesus as the Messiah. But the Jews don't

09:23accept Jesus as the Messiah. But they say the Messiah is going to do this. Okay. And of course,

09:30when Jesus returns, no, Jesus is not going to sacrifice a red heifer. You don't see that in the

09:40Old Testament, the Hebrew scriptures. Now, this is another Jewish tradition that's not from the Bible,

09:47just like the Jewish tradition about you can't have more than two or three hairs or something.

09:51Okay. Any mishratic teaching is basically a Jewish tradition. And that's the type of thing that when

10:00Jesus was here, he condemned. When they added things to the Bible that the Bible didn't say,

10:06they added commands about the Sabbath, etc. You know, some people think Jesus did away with the

10:10Sabbath. No, he just said to Jews, you're doing it wrong. Okay. So anyway, if the Temple Institute

10:17actually believes what I just read from their website, it looks like officially, it's impossible

10:25for the Temple Institute to accept any red heifer sacrifice, since Jesus is not going to do that

10:31upon his return. But you got to wonder, then why did they have one of their priests, their high

10:37priests that they train, do a practice run, sacrificing a red heifer, when they say the Messiah is supposed to

10:45do it? Because they don't think the high priest is the Messiah. So the whole thing gets, to use a weird

10:52expression, curiouser and curiouser. But the other reality is that officially, the Temple Institute does

11:04not need a red heifer for the animal sacrifices begin anyway. Okay. So the fact is, they have a red

11:13heifer that was sacrificed. And by the way, I'll add this, I didn't point this out before, and I should

11:20have read this when I read the scripture. It was the right age. They had an age range. And one of the

11:26reasons I speculated they were going to slaughter one, I thought they're probably going to do one in

11:302025 was because of the age of these red heifers. Plus, there's always a risk the longer they're

11:36alive, the bigger chance they'll get some kind of a blemish. But I was looking at what they're doing

11:42and said, I think it has to happen in 2025. But I also said, before 2025, that look, they're going to

11:50decide something is acceptable for their purposes. And so now, actually, they've done it. Now,

11:56our Christian perspective, do we need the ashes of a red heifer? No. Why do I say that? Because I

12:06didn't I read from numbers, it's ordinance for the for them forever. Yeah, for those who didn't accept

12:14Jesus. Okay. But for those except Jesus, we're in a different situation. So the Jews don't accept Jesus.

12:23Yeah, they're supposed to do that stuff, because they don't accept Jesus.

12:26All right. We, I'm going to read Hebrews chapter 9, starting verse 13. Christians, we read

12:34the following, for if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, this is a reference in

12:43the New Testament to the ashes of a red heifer from the Old Testament, sprinkling the unclean,

12:50sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh. And that's what the ashes of the red heifers are supposed

12:54to do for the children of Israel. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal

13:01spirit offered himself without spot? Jesus without blemish, because he didn't sin. And, you know,

13:08he could have actually probably had one or two gray hairs by his age. Okay. And that went out of

13:13disqualified Jesus. Okay. Most guys start to have some gray hair by then. So another reason to go back

13:20to why the Jews put up rules that make no sense. Anyway, who through the eternal spirit offered

13:24himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

13:29Okay. So it is absolutely clear from scripture, Christians do not need a red heifer.

13:38Okay. And again, going back to this one being disqualified for hairs, just to have, you know,

13:44Jesus would have probably had a couple of hairs were not the same color.

13:48And the blemish would have to do with sin. And the blemish on the red heifers would have to do with,

13:55let's say in modern times, running into barbed wire or something along that line. So the reality is,

14:02not only don't Christians need a red heifer, the Jews have one, and they actually don't need one

14:08to resume daily sacrifices. And as you alluded to me before this, maybe this was the last red heifer.

14:18Well, what's the bottom line then, Dr. Kiel? If all the red heifers are disqualified by the

14:23Temple Institute, will the return of the Lord be delayed until they have the ashes of the red

14:28heifer? Absolutely not. Sacrifice is going to be resumed with or without a red heifer that the

14:34Temple Institute accepts. The Bible prophecy is going to be fulfilled.

14:38Thank you, Dr. Kiel. For more interviews with Dr. Kiel, in addition to written,
