Where are the 10 Red Heifers (Cows) in Judaism?


Building a Third Temple in Jerusalem is the dream for the messianic branches of Judaism and Christianity

Heifer is a young cow, over one year old, that has not borne a calf. Red heifers were slaughtered as sacrifices in the Jewish Temple and the ashes were used in purification rituals, especially for people who had become impure through contact with dead bodies.

The extreme rarity of the animal, combined with the detailed ritual in which it is used, have given the red heifer special status in Jewish tradition.

Evidence for Red Heifer

Moses ben Maimon (1135-1204 AD), or Maimonides, or Rambam, was a medieval Sephardic Jewish philosopher who became one of the most prolific and influential Torah scholars of the Middle Ages. During his life, Maimonides was a rabbi, astronomer, physician and philosopher.

In his Mishna commentary, Maimonides wrote:
..and the 10th red heifer will be accomplished by the king, the Messiah; may he be revealed speedily, Amen, May it be God's will.

What is Red Heifer?
The red heifer, also known as the red cow, was a cow brought to the priests as a sacrifice according to the Hebrew Bible, and its ashes were used for the ritual purification of "the impurity of the dead". Some Fundamentalist Christians believe that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ cannot occur

until the Third Temple is constructed in Jerusalem, which requires the appearance of a red heifer born in Israel. Clyde Lott, a cattle breeder, is attempting to systematically breed red heifers and export them to Israel to establish a breeding line of red heifers in Israel in the hope that this will bring about the construction of the Third Temple and ultimately the Second Coming of Jesus.

What is Judaism?
Judaism encompasses the religion, philosophy, culture and way of life of the Jewish people. Judaism is a monotheistic religion, with the Torah as its foundational text (part of the larger text known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible), and supplemental oral tradition represented by later texts such as

the Midrash and the Talmud. Judaism is considered by religious Jews to be the expression of the covenantal relationship that God established with the Children of Israel.

Judaism includes a wide corpus of texts, practices, theological positions, and forms of organization. Within Judaism there are a variety of movements, most of which emerged from Rabbinic Judaism, which holds that God revealed his laws and commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of both the Written and Oral Torah.

The Jews are an ethnoreligious group and include those born Jewish and converts to Judaism. In 2012, the world Jewish population was estimated at about 14 million, or roughly 0.2% of the total world population. About 42% of all Jews reside in Israel and about 42% reside in the United States and Canada, with most of the remainder living in Europe.
