A newborn red heifer in Israel has thrust one of the Bible’s most fascinating prophetic topics back into the global spotlight.

For Mondo Gonzales of Prophecy Watchers, the significance is not the animal itself. It is what the growing interest surrounding the red heifer reveals about preparations in Israel, activity on the Temple Mount and the prophetic timeline laid out in Scripture.

“The first thought always is this is not going away,” Gonzales told Charisma Media. “I think often times what we’ve seen over the past few years is there’s been ups and downs with the news cycle and red heifers being offered up in ceremonies and then it kind of fades away. And then to have this one born in the land of Israel is bringing it all back to the forefront.”

He added, “I just thought, you know what, it’s not going away. There’s a reason why we should be discussing this topic.”

More Than Just a Cow

Gonzales said confusion surrounding recent red heifer headlines comes from misunderstanding its role in Jewish worship.

“The red heifer is not required to be offered before the temple’s built,” he said. “So the temple can be built even if they wanted to.”

However, he explained that the ashes of a qualified red heifer are necessary for the complete restoration of Temple services.

“What the red heifer is required for is the full implementation of all of the ceremonies that you would have in the temple,” Gonzales said. “For the full gamut, yes, they need the red heifer and they know that.”
