A 'red heifer' was born in Israel bringing back talks about the end of the world on the internet. According to a Bible prophecy, after the first 'red heifer' is born, the end of the days are near. Both Christianity and Judaism relates the red heifer to "end of times". A YouTube video by The Temple Institute which proclaimed the birth of the calf stated that it would undergo "extensive examination" to determine if it is red all over.

It says the if the calf is found to be "blemish free" it "brings the promise of reinstating Biblical purity to the world". After sacrificing the red cow, construction on the Third Temple in Jerusalem can begin. Reportedly, The Bible states that after the birth of a perfectly red female calf, the Jewish Messiah will return. The Temple Institute has explained the significance of the birth of the red heifer in the video.

However, in order to build the new temple the Dome of the Rock, an Islamic holy temple which currently stands there will have to be demolished. The Temple Institute and other groups were set up worldwide with the aim of building the Third Temple on Mount Moriah. This event notes what Christians believe is "the rapture", according to which believers will join Christ and have eternal life, while non-believers will be cast in everlasting fire.

The video states that "a perfectly red heifer was born in the land of Israel". It says the calf was found to be "viable candidate for the Biblical red heifer". The animal would be checked again in a few months and could be disqualified due to "natural causes". Three years ago The Temple Institute founded a program-Raise a Red Heifer in Israel. The mission has been to breed a perfect red cow for which imported frozen embryos of red Angus cows were implanted into domestic cows.
