Hi Nancy,
Exodus 26:14 “You shall also make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the tent, and a covering of badger skins above that.”
The color
red:
“As soon as the flames burst forth, the priest, standing outside the pit in which the pile was built up, took cedarwood, hyssop, and
‘scarlet’ wool, asking three times as he held up each: ‘Is this cedarwood? Is this hyssop? Is this scarlet?’ so as to call to the memory of everyone the Divine ordinance. Then tying them together with the scarlet
wool, he threw the bundle upon the
burning heifer. The burnt remains were beaten into ashes by sticks or stone mallets and passed through coarse sieves; then divided into three parts – one of which was kept in the Temple-terrace (the Chel), the other on the Mount of Olives, and the third distributed among the priesthood throughout the land”
The cedarwood has a sweet fragrance, depicting the sweetness of the aroma of the sacrifice of the Messiah who died for us; the hyssop depicts the astringent cleansing and purification of His sacrifice, removing all sin. “Purge me with hyssop,” David prayed, “and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow” (Psa.51:7).
The "scarlet" depicts the red blood, the source of life. The life of flesh is the blood (Gen.9:4). God says: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood . . . it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul” (Lev.17:11).** The blood** of the Messiah, poured out for us, atones for our lives.
The facts are that the Temple of God cannot be rebuilt without he sacrifice of a red heifer. Nor could a priesthood function unless each priest is sprinkled with the ashes of a red heifer, mixed with water from the pool of Siloam. Also, many believe that Messiah cannot come until a Temple is rebuilt.
Therefore, to start this sequence of events, there must first be a red heifer which meets the halachic requirements which can be sacrificed! No red heifer, then no sanctified priesthood, and no Temple – and therefore no Messiah! The Search for the Ashes of the Last Red Heifer.
The last red heifer sacrificed by the Jewish priesthood was killed shortly before the Jewish rebellion against the Romans which began in 66 A.D. The ashes of the heifer, along with treasures of the Temple, and Temple artifacts, were then removed for safe-keeping and hidden in a place of security.
According to many rabbis, the ashes of the last red heifer slain as a sacrifice must be combined with the ashes of a new red heifer sacrifice, in order to purify the location for the new Temple, the priesthood, and the nation of Israel. J. R. Church, in his article “The Search for the Ashes of the Red Heifer,” in Prophecy in the News magazine (May 1997 issue), relates that archaeologist Vendyl Jones is currently embarked on an effort to find the ashes of the last red heifer sacrificed in Israel."

"The Awesome Symbolism of the Red Heifer
The red heifer pictured the sacrifice of God’s “only begotten Son,” Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Messiah (John 3:16). The femaleness of the sacrifice pictured Christ as the perfectly submissive sacrifice.
The colour “red” of the sacrifice pictured His being fully and completely “human,” having partaken of human nature (John 1;14; Heb.2:14). The very name “Adam” or “man” in Hebrew means “red,” or "ruddy." The red heifer was sacrificed very rarely, and its ashes served to purify so long as they existed, until they ran out. Even so, Jesus Christ “offered one sacrifice for sins for ever”
(Heb.10:12); we are “sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all”
(v.10), “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” (v.14).
The red heifer was also led up to the Mount of Olives, outside the city of Jerusalem, to be sacrificed. “Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without [outside] the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach” (Heb.13:12-13).
Like the red heifer, Jesus Christ was actually led from the Temple porticoes to the Mount of Olives, where He was slain for our sins, in full view of the Temple itself. The Roman centurion at the crucifixion of Jesus “saw the earthquake, and those things that were done” (Matt.27:50-54), including the rending of the Temple veil, or massive curtain, from his vantage point at the crucifixion site. This means he must have been standing on the Mount of Olives, just east of the Temple Mount, the only point outside the city where the entrance to the Temple, and the veil, would have been visible.
What a perfect picture the red heifer offering is of Christ, the Son of God without blemish or spot, who “became sin * for us, who knew no sin, that we might become the
righteousness of God through him” (II Cor.5:21)."* Taken from same manuscript above.
Pax,
I wrote you before but it was to long and the site wouldnt take it.you are a teacher? You should be.Wher did you get this infor.? Is this the way the Jews think?I think the red heifer will show when God puts it there on a farm out in the boomies in Isreal somewhere.The US is trying to clone them to get the one without spot or blemish but it did not happen that way back then it was natural.love of Christ Nancy God Bless.
