Animal sacrifices tomorrow in Turkey

Red Angus Heifer

Turkey has been preparing people who are to sacrifice animals tomorrow:

As Turkey gears up for Eid al-Adha, the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice, the government is running courses for the public on how to slaughter animals safely.

The Daily Sabah newspaper says “Turkey has a bad reputation when it comes to slaughtering animals for the feast because ordinary people attempt to slaughter the sheep and cattle themselves, instead of hiring a professional butcher”. State-run public education centres are now conducting courses ahead of the 4 October festival to end the phenomenon of “blundering butchers who often end up in hospital emergency wards when a misplaced blow injures them”. http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-29377934

İZMİR — Eid al-Adha or Muslim Feast of Sacrifice, is synonymous with free meat for the poor and delicious meat dishes for every Muslim family. Yet, Turkey has a bad reputation when it comes to slaughtering animals for the feast because ordinary people attempt to slaughter the sheep and cattle themselves, instead of hiring a professional butcher.

Ahead of this year’s eid that falls on Oct. 4, would-be butchers are being offered courses by Public Education Centers, state-run local lifelong learning courses across the country. The courses provide butchering training to end the phenomenon of blundering butchers who often end up in the emergency room when a misplaced blow to slaughter the animal injures them. http://www.dailysabah.com/nation/2014/09/22/amateur-butchers-to-go-pro-against-eid-mishaps

Even though a court in India banned animal sacrifices there last month (see India court bans religious animal sacrifices: will this impact the Jews?), animal sacrifices are carried on by various ones for various reasons in different parts of the world.

The fact that the Turks have an annual one, likely suggests to certain Jews that they should be able to as well.

Jewish group like The Temple Institute believe that the fate of the world depends on upon a red heifer being found and then sacrificed (see The Red Heifer, Jewish Beliefs, and the End of the World). The Old Testament clearly teaches that those who follow it alone (do not accept the sacrifice of Jesus) are to sacrifice animals (e.g. Exodus 12:1-7; Leviticus 16:15-16).

Although, the New Testament does away with this (Hebrews 9:9-12; 10:1-7), the Jews that do not accept that Jesus was the Christ (which is the vast majority of them), do not consider that the New Testament is scripture, hence their only religious text commands them to sacrifice animals.

The Bible shows that this will happen again and will be stopped by the final King of the North:

27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate. (Daniel 9:27)

31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. (Daniel 11:31)

The Great Tribulation itself begins about 3 1/2 years after the deal in Daniel 9:27 is confirmed (). As Daniel 9:27 shows sacrifices will be stopped about 3 1/2 years later (one half of a prophetic week).

Since they are to cease, animal sacrifices, for a time, will resume in Israel. Once they stop, this will be a sign that the Great Tribulation is about to start.
