All of a sudden‚ people all over the world are talking about the possibility that there could be a red heifer sacrifice in Israel in 2024.  Those that are Jewish are talking about the possibility of a red heifer sacrifice because many of them believe that it would be a giant step toward reinstituting their ancient sacrificial system for the first time in nearly 2‚000 years. Christians are talking about the possibility of a red heifer sacrifice because many of them believe that it would be a giant step toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. And Muslims are talking about the possibility of a red heifer sacrifice because many of them believe that there is a plot to take over the Temple Mount and remove the Al-Aqsa mosque.  In fact‚ once a red heifer sacrifice actually takes place Muslims all over the globe are likely to go absolutely nuts. In 2022‚ five perfect red heifers were flown into Israel from the state of Texas. At that time‚ they were not old enough to be sacrificed. But in 2024‚ they will be. According to Yitshak Mamo‚ qualified priests have been prepared to conduct the sacrifice‚ the land on the Mount of Olives where the sacrifice will take place is ready‚ and an altar has been constructed. CBS News recently interviewed Mamo‚ and in that article the white altar that has been built was described as “massive”… A massive white altar awaits‚ where they are to be burned on a plot of land overlooking the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. Mamo said the ceremony must be performed looking directly into where the ancient Second Temple stood‚ until it was destroyed by the Romans in the year 70. I included a photo of that altar in the last article that I did about the red heifers‚ and I will share that photo again in this article for those that have not seen it yet… When it finally happens‚ this will be just the tenth red heifer that has ever been sacrificed… Only nine heifers have been sacrificed since the time of Moses until the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. The Rambam‚ Maimonides‚ stated that the 10th Red Heifer ceremony would bring in the Messianic age. Likewise‚ Evangelical Christians who hold a futurist view of bible prophecy believe a Third Temple will be built and subsequently desecrated by the Antichrist before the return of Messiah Yeshua. Thus‚ for many in the religious Jewish community‚ as well as many Evangelicals‚ there has been a great deal of anticipation surrounding these ‘ladies’ in red. So when will it happen? That is what everyone wants to know. The red heifers must be sacrificed because they get too old‚ and so the clock is ticking. When he was asked about this in early 2023‚ Yitshak Mamo told CBN News that a sacrifice would take place a year and a half from that time… That would put the red heifer sacrifice in the second half of 2024. But when he was recently asked about this by another network‚ Mamo indicated that a sacrifice could happen at any time… Back at his settlement in the West Bank‚ Mamo told CBS News the heifers need only pass a final purity test. The ceremony that he hopes will resurrect the temple and usher in the Messiah could take place any day. And All Israel News recently reported that the Temple Institute actually wants to conduct a red heifer sacrifice “before Passover 2024”… As of now‚ four of the heifers remain blemish-free and‚ according to Temple Institute rabbis‚ they hope to carry out the ceremony before Passover 2024. In 2024‚ Passover falls on the 22nd of April. I wish that I had more specific information for you. At this moment‚ we just don’t know precisely when a red heifer will be sacrificed. But I am entirely convinced that a sacrifice is planned for 2024. And when it happens‚ Israel’s enemies are going to go completely insane. Most people don’t realize this‚ but Hamas has actually indicated that the red heifers were one of the reasons why they attacked Israel on October 7th… In November‚ a senior Palestinian source in contact with Hamas’ leadership told MEE that the group had been closely monitoring efforts to secure a permanent Jewish presence in Al-Aqsa Mosque. “The only thing left is the slaughtering of the red heifers‚ which they imported from the US. If they did that‚ it’s the signal to rebuild the Third Temple‚” said the source. In January‚ Abu Obaida‚ spokesperson for Hamas’ military wing‚ made a speech marking 100 days since the group’s 7 October attack on Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip. In it‚ he made a direct link between Hamas’ decision to attack Israel and Third Temple activists importing the cattle‚ which he said was an “aggression against the feelings of an entire nation”. And now Hezbollah is apparently making noise about the red heifers.  The following comes from an Israel365News article entitled “Hezbollah threatens the Red Heifers”… A conference was held in ancient Shiloh on Wednesday and while the event‚ dealing with an esoteric Torah commandment‚ attracted only about 120 attendees and no Israeli media attention‚ Hezbollah saw fit to publicly threaten the gathering. At that conference‚ a couple of the speakers actually had “assault rifles slung around their shoulders” due to threats from Hezbollah on social media… In many ways‚ the red heifer conference was like any other. Rabbis and religious scholars delved into the details of the Torah. A couple of people in the crowd gently nodded off under the dimmed lights. In other ways‚ it was unique. The first two speakers stood at the lectern with assault rifles slung around their shoulders. “Hezbollah found out about this event and have been talking about it on Telegram‚” Kobi Mamo‚ head of the ancient Shiloh archaeological site‚ said in his opening remarks. We live in such unusual times. It has been estimated that sacrificing just one red heifer could produce “enough cleansing water for 660 billion purifications”. And it would also send tensions in the region to levels that we have never seen before. But for those that brought these red heifers over to Israel‚ the clock is ticking. About half a million dollars has been spent on this project so far‚ and if they wait too long all of the heifers will be disqualified because they will be too old. So even though it will cause massive shockwaves all over the planet‚ I believe that they will attempt to sacrifice a red heifer at some point in 2024‚ and that will set in motion a chain of events that nobody is going to be able to stop.

Shambhala is a mythical place in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Europeans sought for years to find this much-talked-about location‚ but it does not exist on the physical plane. Speaking of Shambhala in 1985‚ the 14th Dalai Lama said: Although those with special affiliation may actually be able to go there through their karmic connection‚ nevertheless it is not a physical place that we can actually find. We can only say that it is a pure land‚ a pure land in the human realm. And unless one has the merit and the actual karmic association‚ one cannot actually arrive there. The mystical city of Shambhala. From Ancient Origins The Origins of Shambhala The first mention of Shambhala can be found in the Vishnu Purana‚ an ancient Hindu text. The Vishnu Purana dates back to the fourth century. Although‚ it may have originated as many as one thousand years earlier. It predicted that the eighth incarnation of Vishnu would be born in a city called Shambhala. He would grow up to destroy a group of invaders‚ thereby ending the Age of Disputes and ushering in a golden age of peace. Early in the eleventh century‚ Shambhala appeared again – this time in a Buddhist text called the Kalachakra Tantra. The word Kalachakra can be translated as ‘Wheel of Time’ or ‘Cycles of Time’.  In this text‚ it is written that the king of Shambhala will travel to India for the Kalachakra teachings and bring them back to his people. Seven generations later‚ a new king called Kalki will arise and unify all the people of India‚ abolishing the caste system.  Many generations after this‚ the twenty-fourth successor of Kalki will drive out invaders and usher in a new golden age‚ just as the Vishnu Purana predicted. European Interpretations of Shambhala The first record of Shambhala by a European dates back to the early 17th century. The Portuguese missionary Estêvão Cacella heard of a place called Shambhala (written as Xembala in his records) when he visited a Tibetan monastery in 1627. In 1833‚ the Hungarian scholar Csoma de Körös wrote an article on the Kalachakra that mentions Shambhala. Körös also wrote the first Tibetan-English dictionary. Later European writers grouped it with other mythical lost lands such as Atlantis. Others took the old stories more literally and set out to find the lost land of Shambhala‚ without success.  Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was best known for his Waldorf educational philosophy and biodynamic agricultural theories. He believed that the location of Shambhala would be revealed with the second coming of Christ.  As late as the 1920s‚ people were still actively seeking Shambhala. The Russian couple Helena and Nikolai Roerich led an expedition through the Altai Mountains between 1925 and 1928 in search of it. Eventually‚ he returned and founded Agni Yoga. He continued to speak of Shambhala as a land of peace and perfect spiritual practice. Alice Bailey (1880-1949) wrote of Shambhala as a force that could be used for either good or evil. According to her writings‚ it is located in the astral realm and is the place where the Lord of Earth and Humanity dwells. Even Adolf Hitler sent several expeditions to Tibet‚ partially in an attempt to find and contact Shambhala. Shangri-La Shambhala inspired the fictional location of Shangri-La‚ first described in James Hilton’s 1933 novel Lost Horizon.  When a plane crash lands in the Kunlun Mountains of Tibet‚ the survivors take shelter in the lamasery of Shangri-La. This fictional community is equipped with every modern convenience‚ and they decide to stay. This novel served to keep the concept alive in the popular imagination. Shambhala International The ancient concept of Shambhala inspired a secular meditation practice called Shambhala Training. It was created by the Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher Chögyam Trungpa in the 1970s. Trungpa used the name Shambhala to emphasize the idea that an enlightened society is achievable through mindfulness and meditation. Trungpa was raised in Tibetan monasteries. He ran his own by the age of twenty‚ but fled after his monastery was destroyed by Chinese occupying forces. He journeyed through the mountains on foot with hundreds of other refugees and eventually escaped. Chogyam Trungpa. Naropa University Archives He established Vajradhatu in 1973‚ and the organization was later renamed Shambhala International. There are over two hundred Shambhala Meditation Centers worldwide.  Trungpa’s Teachings Trungpa taught that meditation was a way to connect with one’s “basic goodness”. His book Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior taught that humans can create an enlightened society from one moment to the next. They do this by releasing ego-driven behaviors and being brave enough to adhere to the basic goodness within. He wrote: Now it gives me tremendous joy to present the principles of Shambhala warriorship and to show how we can conduct our lives as warriors with fearlessness and rejoicing‚ without destroying one another… I have been presenting a series of “Shambhala teachings” that use the image of the Shambhala kingdom to represent the ideal of secular enlightenment‚ that is‚ the possibility of uplifting our personal existence and that of others without the help of any religious outlook. For although the Shambhala tradition is founded on the sanity and gentleness of the Buddhist tradition‚ at the same time it has its own independent basis‚ which is directly cultivating who and what we are as human beings. Chogyam Trungpa His approach was not limited to seated meditation. He sought to bring mindfulness to every part of the day. Additionally‚ he advocated for creating a life that incorporates art whenever possible through practices such as dance‚ poetry‚ flower arranging‚ and self-care.  Despite the beautiful theories that he preached‚ the traumas that Trungpa endured led to terminal alcoholism and an early death. He led a big‚ controversial life‚ and his teachings endure. The Key Tenets The key tenets of Shambhala Training include: Basic Goodness: Diametrically opposed to the idea of original sin‚ this tenet proclaims that human nature is essentially good Warriorship: These teachings describe the path of the warrior as one of decency‚ bravery‚ dignity‚ and gentleness Drala: The use of sensory perception to overcome mental fixations Heaven and Earth: The role of humanity is to connect reality (Earth) to what is possible (Heaven) Shambhala Training teaches how to find contentment‚ joy‚ and wisdom in everyday life. The name Shambhala has also been used for schools‚ retreats‚ and a publishing house. It’s also the name of fictional locations in multiple video games.The post Kingdom of Shambhala: The Mystical City and Way of Life first appeared on History Defined.
