Second Temple: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 08:49, 28 November 2023

There were lots of temples and they had a governmental purpose. The Second Temple expanded by Herod to be the Temple in Jerusalem was no exception.

The Second Temple was a rather modest structure constructed by a number of Jewish exile groups returning to the Levant from Babylon under the Achaemenid-appointed governor Zerubbabel. However, during the reign of Herod the Great, the Second Temple was completely refurbished, and the original structure was totally overhauled into the large and magnificent edifices and facades that are more recognizable. Much as the Babylonians destroyed the First Temple, the Romans destroyed the Second Temple and Jerusalem in 70 CE as retaliation for an ongoing Jewish revolt. The second temple lasted for a total of 585 years. (516 BC to 70 AD)

The system of God that was intended by Moses had already been corrupted. The people replaced the principles expressed in metaphor and allegory for mindless rituals. They no longer understood the practice of pure religion of the korbanot, the Omer, and the Altars of clay and stone. Eventually God, through Christ would lead those who had eyes to see and ears to hear back to The Way.

Ezra 3:12 But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, [who were] ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: 13 So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

Proverbs 22:28 "Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set."

Building a central temple of dead stone was never a part of God's plan for men. It was Lively Stones of a Living Altar which is Gods plan. Jesus Christ knew what the " ancient men" knew and was taking the kingdom of God from the Pharisees and was building that original temple of lively stones.

Isaiah 51:9 "Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. [Art] thou not it that hath cut Rahab, [and] wounded the dragon?"
