Hello Steve,

>LL>Any word about the red heifer, as to when it will be sacrificed?
>LL>According to Jewish tradition, the red heifer may be sacrificed
>LL>upon reaching three years of age.  And this coming March, the red
>LL>heifer will turn three years old.  Of course, it is the new Messiah
>LL>who must sacrifice the red heifer, turning it into ash.  And it
>LL>must be sacrificed in the newly built temple...

SA>I had a look last night, but I didn't find anything of much interest.
SA>One site dismissed the heifers so far produced as ineligible, & there
SA>is some stuff about whether the heifer will be sacrificed in the temple,
SA>or if it is enough to do it in site of the temple, etc. Some see the
SA>sequence as: perfect red heifer -> sacrifice -> building of temple ->
SA>coming of Moshiach. I suspect that the Sanhedrin will be formally
SA>reinstituted, & it will rule on what is required, but I might be
SA>wrong. I will keep watching for anything new.

Once the new Sanhedrin is convened, it will interpret the law to mean
whatever it wants it to mean.  After all, it will be the Sanhedrin which
makes the law.  It will be the Sanhedrin which interprets the law.  And
it will be the Sanhedrin which enforces the law.  Since that is the
case, it will be the Sanhedrin which ushers in the new Moshiach,
proclaiming that Moshiach to be the *real* Moshiach.
