A Bible prophecy has been realised as the first 'red heifer in 2,000 years' was born in Israel.

The Temple Institute announced the birth on their YouTube channel and said the calf and its mother would undergo "extensive examination" to determine if it's "blemish free".

In the announcement, the Institute said the red female calf "brings the promise of reinstating Biblical purity to the world".

In both Christianity and Judaism, red heifers feature in tales about the "end of times".

The birth and sacrifice of the red cow is said to precede the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

In mainstream Orthodox Judaism, the rebuilding of the Temple will happen before the coming of the Jewish Messiah.

The two previous temples have been destroyed.

However, The Temple Institute and other organisations have been established with the goal of building the Third Temple on Mount Moriah or the Temple Mount.

But some theologians believe the construction of the Third Temple is linked to 'Judgement Day' or the 'end of times'.

Director of The Temple Institute, Rabbi Chain Richman, believes it's now time to build the Third Temple following the birth of the red heifer.

The video on the Institutes's YouTube channel shows the calf with its mother and proclaims: “a perfectly red heifer was born in the land of Israel”.

The calf has since undergone “extensive examination by rabbinical experts” who confirmed she is a “viable candidate for the Biblical red heifer”.

However, the cow could be disqualified due to "natural causes".

Bosses at the Temple Institute founded a Raise a Red Heifer in Israel program three years ago.

They have been hoping to breed a perfectly red cow and the frozen embryos of red angus cows have been imported to Israel and implanted into domestic cows.

Breaking Israel news reports a board of rabbis verified the cow fulfilled the requirements of the prophecy.

The prophecy says the cow must be red "without blemish".
