The video delves into the historical, religious, and archaeological significance of the Lost Ashes of the Red Heifer, tracing their origins back to biblical times with Moses and Aaron. The red heifer sacrifice, commanded in Numbers 19, is essential for purification in both Jewish and Christian traditions. The ashes, preserved through history and hidden from ancient Babylonian armies by the Prophet Jeremiah, were documented on copper scrolls found near the Dead Sea in 1950.
Contemporary efforts involve breeding and preparing new red heifers in Shiloh, Israel, amidst political concerns about potential unrest due to religious sacrifices and the construction of a third Temple. Scientific tests have validated significant archaeological finds, such as ancient spices and remnants of purification ashes, increasing the authenticity of the copper scrolls. The Temple Institute's plans for reinstituting temple sacrifices hinge on these discoveries, with time-sensitive preparations for the heifers, as they can only be sacrificed before turning three years old.
Important individuals mentioned include Vendel Jones and Larry, who played crucial roles in archaeological discoveries of temple spices and ancient ashes. Future episodes promise further revelations about the planned sacrificial locations, particularly focusing on the Mount of Olives and the Qumran ruins. The video underscores the intertwined nature of biblical prophecy, archaeological endeavors, and modern religious practice, highlighting their collective impact on contemporary faith and scholarship.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the significance of the Lost Ashes of the Red Heifer, tracing their history back to Moses and Aaron. Unbeknownst to many, these ashes are linked to modern red heifers. Remarkably, a man currently caring for red heifers in Shiloh, Israel, previously participated in an archaeological dig searching for these ancient ashes. Due to recent conflicts, their exploration was halted, but the caretaker’s current role connects him deeply with both the ancient and potential new ashes. The video aims to elucidate their biblical and modern importance, particularly for those unfamiliar with red heifers. The red heifer sacrifice, as commanded in Numbers 19, was crucial for cleansing Israelites of ritual impurity, a requirement to approach God. For Christians, this act prefigures Jesus’ sacrifice, while Jewish tradition holds that purity from these ashes is vital for worship on the Temple Mount and future rituals, including those prophesied about the end times.

In this part of the video, the discussion primarily revolves around the historical and religious significance of the ashes used in ancient sacrifices, which were continuously reused and mixed with new ashes, tracing back to Moses and Aaron. Around 2,200 years ago, the Prophet Jeremiah saved these sacred items, including the valuable ashes, from the Babylonian armies by hiding them and recording their locations on copper scrolls. These scrolls were discovered in 1950 with the Dead Sea Scrolls, providing a significant archaeological and religious mystery. The speaker mentions various individuals involved in the digs and discoveries related to these ashes, highlighting the efforts to locate them and their historical artifacts, including finding 1,500 lbs of ancient spices and the purification remnants described by the copper scrolls.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses their involvement with archaeologists in uncovering ancient caves related to the Gaza situation, which was interrupted. While waiting to resume this work, they are now involved in preparing new sacred heifers. The paleobotanist mentions that adding acid to ancient ashes released a potent aroma, lasting for weeks. Next, the speaker shifts focus to the Temple Institute’s plans to potentially reinstitute temple sacrifices using spices found by Vendel Jones and Larry. The age of the heifers being prepared for sacrifices is critical, as they will be disqualified when they turn three in October. There’s speculation that the sacrifice may secretly take place in Shilo rather than the public Mount of Olives due to the limited timeframe.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a plan related to the Copper Scroll, starting in the desolations of the Valley of Achor, located between Jericho and Sakaka.

An important event is recalled from 1989 when a friend identified a cave opening based on the Copper Scroll’s directions, leading the group to dig and find an 18-t cave opening.
They continued cleaning this out in 1992 and discovered a material resembling coffee grounds. Initially disregarded due to lack of smell, a sample exposed to the sun later released a cinnamon aroma, revealing it to be temple spices, specifically the k’toret. This discovery underscored the Copper Scroll’s authenticity, dismissing claims of it being a hoax, as creating such a scroll from copper would have been an intricate and laborious process. The speaker emphasizes the significance of even one genuine find from the Copper Scroll, reinforcing its historical and archaeological importance.
