SECRETS OF THE RED HEIFER - Part 4

SEPTEMBER 7, 2011

Today is the 8th day of Elul on the sacred Calendar. Yesterday we unraveled some of the mysteries surrounding the wedding at Cana as Jesus the Red Heifer crashed the wedding and worked his first recorded miracle of the New Testament. Before we go further, we want to reveal another hidden secret showing that Jesus fulfilled the law of the red heifer at Golgotha.

4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times: 5 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: 6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. 21 This is a lasting ordinance for them. The man who sprinkles the water of cleansing must also wash his clothes, and anyone who touches the water of cleansing will be unclean till evening. 22 Anything that an unclean person touches becomes unclean, and anyone who touches it becomes unclean till evening.” Numbers 19:4-6,21-22

At first glance of reading this, it sounds like a recipe for a magic potion to cast some type of spell. (We'll probably get to that later) Plus, a person was unclean until EVENING. Get this image in your mind. There is a red cow most likely well over 700 pounds, her throat has been ritually slit, blood is gushing everywhere. The priest catches some of the blood in a sacred bowl or as some believe in his left hand. He takes his right hand fingers to sprinkle the blood (7) times before the tabernacle, most likely while chanting the sacred names of God. The whole bloody red cow is now burned with fire facing upward. As the fire gets hotter her belly burst open, then the priest takes cedar wood, hyssop and dyed scarlet wool and throws it into her belly while she and the ingredients burn to ashes. That is radical!!

The last fulfillment of the red heifer in the life of Jesus the Christ was His Crucifixion. Keep in mind the red heifer was not sacrificed to atone sins as the goat was on the Day of Atonement. The red heifer was a cleansing or purification from defilement, those that had been contaminated by a dead corpse. We have passed over from death to life, Christ is our Passover. We are one with Him, Christ is our Atonement. However, on this spiritual journey from time to time we get contaminated by death. The dead corpse of the lower nature, ego, carnal man that's been crucified tries to resurrect. The cellular memory of the illusionary life reminds of a past lifestyle. Therefore, we need the red heifer purification often while on this spiritual journey. At Golgotha Jesus fulfilled the role of the Passover Lamb, Atonement Goat and the Purification Red Cow.

Now lets looks for the 3 mystical ingredients (wood, scarlet, hyssop) used in the red heifer and see if we can find them around the literal crucifixion of Jesus. Did Jesus have to hang there dying from morning to (evening) to fulfill the morning and evening sacrifice and purification requirement?

"Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a SCARLET robe." Matt 27:27-28

After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon HYSSOP, and put it to his mouth. After Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said, "It is finished!" Then he bowed his head and died. John 19:28-30

And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a TREE." Acts 10:39

"Now when EVENING had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus." Mark 15:42-43

Jesus told the religious people of his time that he did not come to destroy the laws but he came to fulfill them. In the Scriptures above we see the scarlet, hyssop and wood during Jesus' crucifixion. All the laws and rituals were fulfilled in Jesus, therefore, there is no further need for a ritual red cow, lamb, or goat.

"For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctified to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" Hebrews 9:13-14

HYSSOP, CEDAR WOOD & SCARLET WOOL

The ancient people made soap from ashes. The ingredients used with the ashes of the red cow was a literal antibacterial soap to prevent further contamination from coming into contact with a corpse. We have also discovered that it went much deeper and that the ritual was filled with prophetic symbols.

Did the ancients know more than we know today about herbs, colors, plants and trees? I believe they saw life much differently than we do and that they were much closer to nature than we are. They understood the essence of nature and realized that each plant has a frequency, each color has a frequency and by mixing natural ingredients properly one could get awesome supernatural results. This is the work of the apothecary or alchemist.

HYSSOP

HYSSOP has been widely used in mostly all ancient cultures in spiritual rituals and is yet used today. Just like with the Hebrew, it was used in ancient Purification Rituals. The Greeks considered it a "holy herb", used to create "sacred spaces," cleansing rituals and performing magic or what some would consider miracles. It was used in baths and hung in houses to drive away evil spirits. Hyssop was believed to have healing properties. The leaves can be used as an antiseptic or antiviral oil. The mold that grows on the leaves is what makes some penicillin.

What was so important about the Cedar wood and Hyssop that prompted King Solomon the wisest man; also called the Preacher to preach about them? "And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springs out of the wall." 1 Kings 4:33

Did you realize that certain plants and herbs are bound to specific planets and Zodiac signs? Everything in the universe is interconnected. Our elders and the sages knew how to use the things God made to grow out of the earth at specific times and during various phases of the Moon. Without proper education they were able to decipher the mysteries of nature. Sadly, contemporary Christianity can not discern negative occultism or witchcraft from universal truth given by the Creator for all to use and benefit from. When humans learn to live in balance with nature, there wont be any lack and disease will be no more.

CEDAR

Hyssop is under the planetary influence of Jupiter and the element of fire. The Cedar is under the planetary influence Uranus and the element is wind. Cedar is known for its Preservation Properties. After purification we need to be preserved from the figurative insects and things that would "bug" us.

(I just had a memory of my grandmothers beautiful Cedar Chest. She kept her formal wear, a mink coat and valuables in there. I only saw her wear the mink a few times. I yet remember the smell of the cedar was amazing; it protected against mold and insects).

The Egyptians used cedar oil in their mummification process to preserved the dead body. If it can help preserve a corpse, what could it do for the living?

Scarlet Wool. The wool is from a sacrificial animal, the lamb. This represents innocence and purity. But the white wool is dyed scarlet which signifies guilt or sin. Here we have the paradox of (2) natures, the outer stained nature and the inner pure and innocent nature. "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow".

The transformation of the Hyssop, Cedar wood and Scarlet wool takes place in the fire, in the belly of the red cow. Our transformation takes place only as we abide in Him and allow the fires of the Holy Spirit to purge and preserve us.

Let Psalms 27 be your meditation.
