AT the end of the article is this statement:

It's "legitimate claim" is based on Numbers 19:1-10 which is quoted in its entirety on the link provided.
In Numbers 19:1-10, is the first time that the ashes of a red heifer were used...
And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they
bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:

What brings the Lord back will not be the saints on jittery all-night internet rapture watch. It will be the saints choosing instead to watch in prayer, in bearing fruit, by gaining the oil. If we gained believers by excitement, we would lose them quickly....

As for "what brings the Lord back," what are your sources, your references? You are entitled to your opinion/teachings/speculations, but it would be fair to provide your sources for your commentary...since you needed sources for this article.
There are many end times prophecies from the Bible. That's what we're discussing on this topic "
Prophecy - The End Times". All opinions are welcome.

This kind of thinking, that is, jumping to conclusions when we see an event that sounds similar to what we want to see, is not clear thinking. One test is: does it bear out in the long run? Also, does it create primarily emotional responses, like excitement, fear, or anger...

I don't see the jump...to any conclusions. Just a report of an event that seems to parallel the prophecy in Numbers 19. But you are right: will it bear out in the long run? We'll see.
"Does it primarily create emotional responses like excitement, fear or anger...". Maybe. It's a discussion. I don't see the problem. What constitutes "clear thinking" is also an opinion.

I would venture a guess, although I have no scriptural support for it, that if we're watching His face, it will not be a surprise when He comes.

Your guess is as good as mine.
In my opinion, the interesting thing about this "Red Heifer" article is that End Times Prophecy is on the mind of many, many people. Even if it's speculation. There are a lot of articles out there on the "Red Heifer". Also, all you have to do is listen to or read the news and it's obvious to me that "something is going on". This "click bait" may get people's attention. It may cause them to do some research they had never considered before. It may give the Lord an opening to touch their hearts.
I think it's important to get people's attention. The Lord can use a lot of things to do that...even "click bait".
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will hang around, register for an account so we can keep talking.
