Very interesting code
Israel considering the color of the heifer. I was privileged to carry
pictures of some of the heifer's to Jerusalem back in 1992. Kind of an
interesting incident and for 5 years I did not really know why I it had
happened.
Before I left for
Israel in 1992 a friend of mine was telling me about a man named Lot to lived in
the States and was raising red heifers. This friend had heard I was going
to Israel and asked me if I would like to take some pictures of these heifers to
Israel to show Simcha. He told me that this man was secretly working with
a rabbi in Israel to bring back the red heifers. He also informed me at
that time that no one knew this rabbi and they were keeping his name secret for
security reasons.....he said, he did not even know his
name.
Well the pictures did
not get to me before I left but he gave them to my wife and she mailed them to
me at Ir Ovot where Simcha was living at the time. When I got these
pictures I felt overwhelmed that for some reason I needed to go to
Jerusalem. I did not understand and continued to pray about the
matter. One evening as Shabbat was closing on I was praying on the 'tell'
while Dari was looking for the three stars. As I stood there looking into
the sky and praying someone touched me on the shoulder and said, Jim! He
said that is your name? I said, yes that is my name. He said I do
not know why I am telling you this but for some reason I believe The HOLY ONE
has something He wants you to do in Jerusalem. I started to cry as I could
not hold back the tears as I have been praying about the matter and I have left
a fleece before The LORD. I knew I was supposed to go and be Simcha's
servant for three months but I did not know what all had to be done. So I
have left it in The LORD's hand and this was the first part of that answer to
prayer. The man told me he lived in Jerusalem and would furnish me a place
to stay and everything I needed while in Jerusalem and then would take me where
ever I wished to go. He told me he was Orthodox but he had been coming to
the desert once in a while to listen and learn from Simcha.
Now these is a very
long story so let me shorten it. The second part of my prayer was also
fulfilled and I did go to Jerusalem and on the second day there after our
prayers I told this man I needed to go to the Temple Institute and he took me
there. Once up the stairs a young rabbi said he needed to speak to me but
did not have time at the moment as he had a luncheon engagement and he started
to walk back down the stairs and I followed beside him and I told these pictures
out of my shirt pocket and gave them to him in the middle of the
stairwell. He stopped and then ask me if I knew why they could not use
these heifers. I told him I did not know and he began showing and telling
me everything about these heifers. It was more than apparent he knew
them. These heifers were out in the field and how he could tell which one
had a grey hair or black hair or such I could not understand, except to say to
myself, he knows them.
For five years I did
not know why this had happened. The man from Jerusalem sent me a large
article he had clipped from the Jerusalem Post with a heifer named Melody and on
one side of that heifer was a man named Clyde Lot and on the other was Rabbi
Chaim Richmond, the rabbi I had taken the pictures too. The article told
how they had been working together for several years to bring these heifers back
to Israel. So the pictures came from Clyde Lot in Mississippi to my friend
in Sherwood Arkansas he gave them to my wife Linda and she mailed them to me and
I carried them to Rabbi Richmond in Jerusalem. Now I still do not
understand fully why this all happened other than to know there was some
concerns of security surrounding the heifers and perhaps this had something to
do with it???
But it was an
interesting time for me filled with many Spiritual happenings! BTW in case
you did not know it, Ir Ovot is Oboth noted in the scriptures in numbers 21 and
33. The 'tell' that I was moving Simcha and family off of was identified
as the city of Tamar noted in Ezekiel 47 and 48 that the river of life will run
too in the desert when the day comes of which we have been speaking and The
Master steps His foot back on the Mount of Olives and it splits in twain and the
river of life or living waters runs to the Dead Sea giving life to it so that
fishermen once again will fish on the shores and this river then runs into the
desert to Tamar. I have walked this dry 'wadi' and looked at it from
satellite and I believe when the mountains and hills are made a plane that this
will then lift the Dead Sea up and the river will flow all the way to the
Gulf. It appears on satellite that this was the way it ran at one time in
history.
The city has a direct
history linked to Jerusalem because it was built by King Solomon as
well.
Shalom
Yaakov
