Second Temple 'Mikveh' Uncovered

[Trusting Jesus]

Archaeology fascinates me; this bath was operational when Jesus himself visited Jerusalem. There are so many fantastic finds being made in Israel, even though it's such a small country.

I'm constantly worried about important finds being detroyed by evil doers. who wish to erase evidence.

I love it when these things are found and the Bible - which we believe by faith - is proven as true. If artifacts are destroyed they are destrayed by those who fear truth. God won't allow them to destroy things that He wants seen.

I can't wait till they find the ashes of the Red Heiffer.....

Actually, I have read that "the original ashes" of the red heifer are not needed to get the third temple up and running because in biblical times, a perfect red heifer was one that didn't have any broken bones or deformities, etc. that were easily seen and it didn't matter at all if it had a few different colored hairs. I have also read that certain people within the Temple Mount Faithful from the Temple Institute in Israel know where the original ashes are and it is being kept secret.

However, I believe as Christians we should see absolutely no significance in red heifers or ashes. The New Testament tells us that we already have the perfect sacrifice in Jesus Christ. Hebrews 9:12 says, "not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption." No heifer could ever do that.

It's my understanding that they can't properly cleanse the temple without those ashes. If they do know where they are, then there is nothing stopping them from starting temple worship other than building the temple, or for a quick start they could build the tabernackle very quickly. I have not read anywhere that is really trustworthy for that kind of information say that the ashes have been discovered or they know for sure where they are...... I believe that temple worship is tied into end time prophesy, so the ashes are a big deal.

Hi other one

Well, there's the political problem in Israel concerning the Jews being on the Temple Mount, which is the spot that the Jews would offer up their sacrifices for one thing. And right now, Jews are not allowed to go on the Temple Mount.

It was quite awhile ago that I read that some Rabbi in Israel knew where the original red heifer ashes were, and it is a secret because it would cause an uproar with the muslims in Israel if it went public. I read it on one of those silly pre-trib sites, so I cannot speak for its reliability.

There's some information on The Temple Mount Faithful site you may be interested in. That seems to indicate they know where the Ark of the Covenant is. Get to the Ark, and there the red heifer ashes will be, I believe.

THE ROCK OF ABRAHAM AND ISAAC

After the Six Days War in 1967, the chief Rabbi of the Israeli army, Rabbi Shlomo Goren, brought a unit of engineers to the Temple Mount and they measured all the site according to the dimensions which the Bible and Talmud give and their conclusion was very dearly that the rock was the site of the altar which was in front of the Holy of Holies.

Today the rock exists as it was in the Biblical times. This is the highest point on the Temple Mount. Under the rock is a tunnel and steps which lead to a cave. This cave is called the Cave of the Spirits because the air came up from this cave to the altar and allowed them to keep the fire burning permanently on the altar. The cave is very beautiful. From the cave a tunnel leads off to the east. However it is blocked by a door of stone. It is thought behind the door there is a tunnel which leads to a secret chamber where the Ark of the Covenant was hidden.

Thats true no ashes of the red heifer no cleansing of the temple. All the years I have been reading the guys over at the temple institute no mention of having secret ashes. I understand theres a farm in TX I think that is supposed to be breeding the red heifer and when they succeed they will take it to Israel and do breeding over there. I think there may be others that are trying to do the same thing. Honestly I have kept up with this since the last hopeful was born and it ended up having a few white hairs. If they did have some secret stash of ashes I would think there would be a huge push to rebuild the temple.
