How Israel’s Red Heifer Prophecy Explains What's Happening Right Now

Does Hamas fear that Jews in Israel are trying to fulfill a Biblical prophecy? Glenn reviews a story from earlier this year that went under the radar: On the 100th day of the war between Israel and Hamas, a Hamas spokesman proclaimed that Israel’s aggression “reached its peak” with “the bringing of red cows” to the Holy Land. This, Glenn explains, is a reference to the red heifer prophecy, which some Christians and Jews believe will usher in the building of the third Jewish Temple and the End Times. So, is Israel preparing to retake the Temple Mount? And was this why Hamas attacked on Oct. 7th in the first place?

GLENN: So back in January, a story flew under the radar, that is worth discussing, and it wasn't discussed because the mainstream media has no idea what this even means.

But at the 100-day mark of the war in Israel, October 7th. The military spokesman for Hamas, gave a televised speech, about the Hamas efforts. As well as the remain -- the reminder of the purpose, of the war.

Now, this was translated, into English, by the Palestinian chronicle. Which, gosh, I must have missed this issue of it.

And it just came to my attention. And I want to you to listen carefully to what this guy said.

Quote, we look back 100 days to remember the educated, the complicit, the incapacitated among the world powers, governed by the law of the jungle.

Reminding them of an aggression, that reached its peak against our path, al-Quds and Al-Aqsa. Al-Quds is the Muslim name for Jerusalem.
And Al-Aqsa is the mosque that is on top of the Temple Mount.

Reminding them of an aggression, that reached its peak against, translating, in Jerusalem. And the Temple Mount.

With the start of its actual temporal and spatial division, what?

They started -- it reached the peak, at the start of the Jews Jew's actual temporal and spatial division.

And, quoting, the bringing of red cows as an application of a detestable, religious myth. Designed for aggression, against the feelings of an entire nation in the heart of its Arab identity.

And the path of its prophet, and its ascension into heaven.

Hmm. What did you get out of that, Stu?

What -- the temporal and spatial division. What's that?

That sounds mystical, doesn't it?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And the bringing of red cows as an application of a detestable religious myth. Well, we should look in to what that is.

The bringing of red cows, as part of a detestable myth.

Okay. Red of hers, are the -- the detestable religious myth, according to the leader of Hamas. A red heifer in the Old Testament, to be sacrificed, has to have no more than two black or white hares.

And they check them. I'm guessing, there is a rabbi squad that goes out.

And they look, and they check the heifer, it has to be unblemished. All red hair.

And that's a one in 50,000 chance that your red heifer is going to be born like that.

And it cannot have more than two black or white hares. Even before having their ears tagged. A common practice with livestock.

That would disqualify them for ceremonial use.

But these four heifers remain blemish-free. And according to the temple institute rabbis. They want to carry out this detestable -- what did he call it?

Myth. And a ceremony. Before pass over.

So just before Easter.

Only nine heifers have been sacrificed since Moses.

Nine.

And that happened between Moses and the year 70 AD. And the feeling is, or the -- the myth of the Bible, is the tenth red heifer ceremony would bring in the Messianic Age.

Now, I don't know about you. But those people who are like, I think Jesus is coming soon!
(laughter)

They're so crazy.

So I don't believe any of that craziness.

Bit they're bringing in the Messianic age.

Now, people who are religious Christians, they believe that that is the first step to rebuilding the third temple.

And it has to be built, before the Antichrist comes and desecrates it.

Of course, I mean he wouldn't desecrate it, then they build it. But he's -- and then the Messiah comes.

Some of us believe that's Jesus. And he had a return ticket, when he came the first time.

So he's coming again.

Now, what does this mean, where did this come from?

Why is Hamas saying 100 days into the war, it was the transfer of these red heifers from Texas. To Israel. That played a role in October 7th?

GLENN: I've been to Israel several times. I have never been to the top of the Temple Mount, because I was asked by the state of Israel.

Not to go. I was asked by Benjamin Netanyahu, who was the Prime Minister at the time, when I was there last.

And they were worried about any appearance, on top of the Temple Mount, causing a stir because of, you know, I stand for Israel.

I've been recognized, et cetera, et cetera. I know people who have gone. Ben Shapiro just went. And he prayed on the Temple Mount. Praying on the Temple Mount as a Christian, but especially a Jew. Is not looked on kindly, by Muslims.

And, but many people, many people do it.

If you've never been to Israel. You don't understand the role of the Temple Mount itself.

We've been talking here last few minutes, about red heifers. Red heifers are important for a purification process that needs to be done before the Temple Mount needs to be restored.

And the temple can be rebuilt on it. This is something that Hamas, really, its charter came from.

This is a story that has not been really even heard in Israel.

Secular Israelis, probably not even aware or interested in the presence of the red heifers in Israel.

And if you're not religious, it probably means nothing to you.

However, Hamas has just pointed out, that -- that they are at least following the red heifer story, close enough. To use it as the stated reason to launch the surprise invasion.

And attack, that they called the Al-Aqsa flood. Al-Aqsa mosque.

The mosque is the third holiest site in Islam. This is where there was the mythical journey of -- of Muhammad. And he was brought from Mecca, to the Temple Mount, on some sort of donkey with wings.

And he went up, to heaven, and he received instruction on Islamic prayer. And then he returned back to Mecca, the next morning.

So that's the claim on the Temple Mount.

The Hamas terror attack on October 7th, is really the work of the guy that we've talked about on this program. The grand Mufti.

The grand mufti became in the 1920s, the father of radical Islam. That's what he's called. He was the first to bring up discussions about Al-Aqsa and the third temple

And bring it front and center. The Jewish people were immigrating and coming in the 1920s to Israel.

And Husseini, the grand mufti. He was able to spread his anti-Semitism, and the idea, that the Jews were coming, to destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque.

To rebuild the third temple.

The third temple, is instrumental. If the third temple is not rebuilt.

Then that stops the prophecy of the return of the messiah.

So it has to be rebuilt. How is that going to be happening with the Al-Aqsa mosque on top?

Don't know. Well, he got everybody wound up so much, it peaked in 1929. And they went on a terror raid, a lot like October 7th, on the Jewish holiday that commemorates the destruction of the two previous temples. So Jews were going to the western wall to pray. They were attacked by Arab Muslims. Under the grand mufti. Because he said they were going there to tear the Al-Aqsa mosque down. Lots of people were hurt and killed. The Jews. Because Al-Aqsa was in danger.

He -- this guy did not go away after this.

The grand mufti in 1937, was exiled from Jerusalem. And he sought asylum in a country, that thought a lot like him, in 1937.

He went to Berlin, Germany. Where he met with Adolf Hitler.

Helped form the Muslim SS squad, that was scooping up Jews. And he even hosted a radio show.

And he was talking about how much Islam, and the Nazis have in common.

So this is what they were marching about then. And this is why they are now saying, they are going after the Jews now.

You don't know, the Hamas charter is -- is widely accepted as one of the most anti-Semitic documents in history.

It lays out a direct call to annihilate the Jewish people. Along with promoting jihad, as the only solution, and a responsibility for every Muslim.

In fact, this is the grand mufti's ultimate solution, for protecting the Al-Aqsa mosque.

You have to kill all the Jews. To protect the mosque. Does it make a little more sense thousand?

That you see October 7th. The Al-Aqsa flood?

And this ideology. So in the 100-day speech, the 100 days after the war began. After October 7th. The statement from the Hamas spokesperson. Is the first statement directly to address the red heifers. Which came from Texas.

And are now in Israel.

He is now saying, that this is not just because of the red heifers, but because there are also Jewish people praying on the Temple Mount.

And a growing number of people praying, on the Temple Mount.

Early on the morning of October 7th, Hamas issued a statement, via the military commander. Who justified the attack as retaliation for Israel's desecration of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.

It wasn't just the heifers, but also prayer, Jewish prayer on the temple.

Which has been allowed. It's controversial, but it's allowed.

So the problem is: Is that Jewish people think that it has been desecrated by the Muslims. Muslims say, it's been desecrated by the Jews.

If you're going to rebuild the temple, you need to purify it.

And purifying it, according to the book of numbers, chapter 19, is a heifer. A red heifer ceremony. That results in the creation of ash and water mixture.

And that cleanses the entire nation of Israel. From ritual impurity.

And then the ceremony requires some of the blood to be sprinkled at the front of the tabernacle. That later became the temple.

It usually took place at the Mount of Olives, where they are planning on doing this again in the coming days.

It is essential for all aspects of the temple, and temple worship to take place.

In addition, anyone participating in temple worship, would be required to be sprinkled with the ash water.

Beyond that, even without the presence of a physical temple, the ceremony, would be -- would allow the general population to be ritually cleansed and remove much of the religious prohibition for a Jewish presence, on the Temple Mount.

When are they planning on doing it?

Well, they imported these red heifers before October 7th.

We now know that Hamas said, that this was going to -- this was part of the reason, because they're going to use the red heifers to purify the temple, which is desecration to them.

Purifying them, so they can then, actually, go up, and even if there's no temple. They can pray as if they were in the temple.

They're going to do this, passover weekend. So Easter weekend.

That may be a very violent weekend, in Israel. If we are to take Hamas at its words, that no media is reporting on.

You don't have to believe the red heifer thing.

I do.

I believe they believe it. And I believe that the third temple is part of the return of Christ. Or the come of the messiah.

And I look at these things, seriously.

Because I know the Middle East looks at them seriously. And I believe in the return of the Messiah.

We should be watchful. We are told, to look for these things.

And I think the best thing that we can do is pray. The best thing we can do is prepare ourselves, spiritually, temporally, physically, prepare for uncertain times.

I don't know if this happens. But I know people have been working on this to happen.

Well, since '70. And it looks like it could happen in the next couple of weeks.

The sacrifice of the tenth red heifer.

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
