the temple . What a holy place, it has become a place of trade, and I understand more and more the anger of Jesus after seeing the temple. The

Roman government imposed high taxes, oppressed the people, King Herod was suspicious and cruel, and I understand more and more why the Jews were eager His hope is an earthly king.

From Abraham, along the way, the Jewish nation has experienced too many hardships. They have experienced Egypt's slavery, the fall of the country, the captivity, and the destruction of the temple. .

. Along the way, the Jewish nation has made too many mistakes, and they have sinned against the LORD too much. Second, idolatry, disobedience, fornication, and following other gods. . Now that Jesus declared himself to be God, they were afraid that he would be wrong again and sin against Jehovah

Jesus, which was a huge shock to the Jews who kept the Mosaic law. It's like a person suddenly told us Chinese people that your Chinese New Year will become my festival in the future; you must keep my words in the future, because my words are higher than your traditional Chinese culture. Have we accepted it?

I suddenly understand the Jewish nation very well, and more of a pity for those Jews who are still waiting for the "Messiah"

Luke 1:32-33
32 He will be great and called the Most High son, the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.
33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will not end.

Acts 3:19-20
19 Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out; then the days of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord,
20 and the Lord will send Christ Jesus, who was destined for you come.
