Update about the rumors 2024: There is no ceremony on April 22nd, which is Passover Eve, when Jews will all concentrate on the Passover lamb, not on a burned red cow. There is no altar anywhere in Jerusalem. There is no prophecy of a red heifer whatsoever.
The “Al-Aqsa Flood” is what Hamas named the October 7th invasion and massacre. This is not a new thing. The attempt to create a pan Islamic unity in the fight to eliminate Israel is leading them always to talk about the Temple Mount. “Al-Aqsa is in danger” (Arabic: الأقصى في خطر) is a popular political slogan used to oppose efforts by Jewish hardliners to take over the Temple Mount. The annual “Al-Aqsa in Danger Festival” was in some years (1996-2015) the most-attended Islamic festival in Israel.
The rise in numbers of Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount to over 50,000 in the past couple of years made Islamic fanatics worry and get angry.
However, the red heifer wasn’t specified as the reason for the October attack when it was announced on that horrific Saturday morning. What has been mentioned was the constant “invasion” of Jews to the Al Aqsa holy site.
It wasn’t until 100 days into the war that Hamas spokesperson Abu Ubeidah mentioned the words “red cows” in his speech. Why? Because now that the whole world witnessed the horrific atrocities done by this murderous terror group, they needed a more substantial way to justify their actions.
Now, let’s talk for a moment about the red heifer.
The few calves flown from Texas a few years ago were NOT what the Temple Institute had in mind as “a red heifer without defect or blemish and that has never been under a yoke” (Numbers 19:1—2).
Heifer is not a calf. The command was to take a heifer, not to fly in a calf and wait.
According to the Jewish Mishnah, the presence of even two black hairs invalidates a red heifer. The heifer must also be 100% free from any internal or external blemish, never worked a day in its life, and be at least three or four years old. Such a perfect creature is so elusive that the Mishnah says its ceremonial burning has only happened nine times in Jewish history. The sage Maimonides believed that the tenth animal would only be found and sacrificed when the Messiah was ready to appear.
In September of 2023, the Temple Institute announced the birth of a red calf in Israel – not in Texas. The Temple Institute announced the birth on their YouTube channel and said the calf and its mother would undergo “extensive examination” to determine if it’s “blemish free”. In the announcement, the Institute said the red female calf “brings the promise of reinstating Biblical purity to the world.”
However, even if this is a perfect one, it will take at least 2-3 more years to be able to get to the point that it can be burned.
In other words, a sacrifice on Temple Mount and the burning of a red heifer (that is to be done elsewhere anyway) are two different things.
So, can an April 2024 ceremony be the reason for the October 2023 massacre? NO!
Is there a perfect red heifer already? NOT YET.
Are there Jews who want to sacrifice on Temple Mount? YES
Are they many? NO.
Will Israel ever allow any Jewish ceremony on the Temple Mount? NO.
The Jews will only be able to worship freely on Mt. Moriah once a world leader allows them to build their temple there. Who is that world leader? The Antichrist!
Drawing a line and explaining the October 7th atrocities with an imaginary red heifer sacrifice ceremony is only doing two things:
- It gives Hamas the legitimacy they need to for what they did.
- It causes people worldwide to accuse the Jewish Bible in the massacre of the Jewish people.

April 2024: The candidates of the red heifer is in Shiloh. He came 2023 into the world via home birth, has never set foot in a hospital or cemetery, and therefore considered by halacha (Jewish law) to be of the highest level of Torah purity, he never contracted tum’at met (impurity imparted by contact with a corpse). Should he opt to participate in the Temple Institute’s ongoing preparations in anticipation of the renewal of the ashes of the red heifer, he will undergo intense instruction and training.
