In my very recent click through YT videos, I heard two pertinent items:

  1. illegal to attempt to convert anyone from one religion to another

Someone on the vid was saying Christians could end up targeted for attempting to proselytize, punishment including jail time, if this new law goes forward. However, another source said that this kind of legislation is proposed regularly by ultra orthodox members of parliament. Netanyahu receives support from Zionist Christians, so he says this legislation will not be passed.

  1. Israel a theocracy

Well, long ago, Israel actually was a theocracy, and ever since they regained control of Jerusalem in the six day war, they have been seeking to rebuild the temple which they (perhaps mistakenly) believe is where the Muslim dome of the rock now sits. All the parts necessary for reconstruction (they say) have already been built.

They need a spotless, unblemished red heifer for the purification ritual for when the new temple and religious priesthood services are re-established.

In September 2022, five red cows were imported from the United States, and transferred to a breeding farm in Israel. According to the rabbis who accompanied the process, the cows are kosher for sacrifice.

Because the state of ritual purity obtained through the ashes of a red heifer is a necessary prerequisite for participating in Temple service, efforts have been made in modern times by Jews wishing for biblical ritual purity (see tumah and taharah) and in anticipation of the building of the Third Temple to locate a red heifer and recreate the ritual. However, multiple candidates have been disqualified.

According to rabbinical tradition, there have been nine red heifers sacrificed since Moses’ time.

The rabbi Maimonides (1135—1204) taught that the tenth red heifer would be sacrificed by the Messiah Himself (Parah Adumah, ch. 3, § 4).

If one of the five cows is deemed to be "the one," that will be the tenth red heifer and thus, the Jewish MESSIAH would shortly arrive.

My understanding is that many in Israel (and I believe this includes Netanyahu) are getting very excited for the possibility that their Messiah is coming soon. At that point, Israel would re-establish itself as a theocracy.
