Some Fundamentalist Christians believe that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ cannot occur until the Third Temple is constructed in Jerusalem, which requires the appearance of a red heifer born in Israel.

Clyde Lott, a cattle breeder in O’Neill, Nebraska, United States, is attempting to systematically breed red heifers and export them to Israel to establish a breeding line of red heifers in Israel in the hope that this will bring about the construction of the Third Temple and ultimately the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

From the website where this photo of Clyde Lott was taken: “Rabbi Rrichman and Clyde Lott present the first Red Heifer in 2000 years to have been verified by a rabbi as meeting all the biblical requirements of Numbers 19.”

I suppose this is the fundamental problem with prophesy. Damn humans just can’t resist going and trying to tinker…
