SOH Mike Johnson and the five red heifers transported to Israel to be sacrificed in celebration of the End times

70. The odd thing is that no one ever names the "prophet" who came up with this bollocks

Look up "red heifer" in the Bible (Numbers 19 - and the nutters in the video put this up behind them), and it gives instructions for the Israelites, while they're still in the wilderness, on what to do to sacrifice a red heifer as a purification ritual - and it names the priest concerned - ie it only applied at that time (this is if you believe all of the Bible is true, of course - in reality, there is no archaeological evidence for Exodus etc. ever happening. Hundreds of thousands of people wandering through Sinai would leave signs). That priest - Eleazar, son of Aaron, died long before the first Temple was built in Jerusalem, or the Israelites had even captured Jerusalem (again, that's if you insist on using the Bible as history).

So, some nutter, at some time, decided to pick up a few sentences about the Israelite time in the wilderness, and magic them into "we have been told to do this now", and then "this will bring the Messiah" (for the first time, or the second time, depending on if you're Jewish or Christian). But that's not in anyone's Bible. The least they could do is name the guy (it's bound to be a guy) who first claimed this.

So I'm not very impressed with the video. Because the fact that this doesn't come from the Bible, but from some later, unnamed, religious movement, is pretty important.
