"Yohanan says, I’m hoping for Spring" I hope so too!!!! "I’m about over these people with wood for brains!" Me too!!! Not sure about that. Obviously, I would prefer Spring. ?️ ? ❤️ ?? ? ? ⬆️ ☁️ ? :yahoo: Well, if there is a gap between the Rapture and the start of the Tribulation then these things line up pretty well. I am inclined to say that there will be little to no gap, IMHO, however. Time will tell. Hoping to be an April Fool for the Lord. :good: In considering this, I want to make an observation. We have been getting all excited for years as we get these reports of a red heifer candidate and I think we are right to do so, but I always consider when they find “one or two” white hairs if that’s what God really meant by pure red in the first place anyway. I think if any normal person reading the Torah saw one of these heifers with “one or two” white hairs that if someone asked us, “what color is that cow?” Well duh, no brainer - its red. But we get the whole “it has to be red in accordance with halacha (Jewish law) thing” from the interpretation of the orthodox rabbis. I ask myself is that the law of the Torah as given by Moses or is it the law of the scribes and Pharisees as interpreted by the oral law and codified in the Talmud? Often this type of law adds to the actual law given to Moses and again I go back to how do we interpret red? And how did God mean it to be interpreted in simplicity when He wrote it? Deuteronomy 30:11-14 shows us that the Torah was never supposed to be mysterious and hard to interpret and keep - it was supposed to be simple enough for a child to understand, yet obviously our problem is not with understanding it in it’s simplicity, our problem is not being able to keep it in its simplicity in our fallen flesh suit, but I digress. I keep black angus cows and I can tell you that if I see one of them in the field I am not close enough to to see one or two white hairs and I would simply say, that there is a black cow. I think the rabbis often over complicate the simplicity of God’s commands. Having said all of that, I wonder if all of the candidates for the red heifer heretofore have been frustrated by God as a testimony against the Talmudic interpretation of the Torah and perhaps this will lead to another deception. I wonder if this will be another “miracle” of the Antichrist that in addition to providing a solution that will facilitate the building of the Third temple as many of us speculate that he will, perhaps he will also “miraculously” present them a “true” red heifer according to Talmudic Halacha as well? Welcome Derrick! :bye: Hi Derrick! Welcome to the group!
