The meaning and significance of the destruction of the Temple
I assume we all know how important the temple is for the jewish religion, and some also might know about the supernatural events around the temple after Jesus crucification
https://archive.is/7Y2KZ>Our Rabbis taught: During the last forty years [30AD] before the destruction of the Temple the lot did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-coloured strap become white; nor did the westernmost light shine; and the doors of the Hekal would open by themselves…”and how previous efforts of rebuildingt the temple also seem to have been divinely thwarted
https://archive.vn/UmIoh>Disaster when the Jews tried to rebuild the Temple during the reign of the anti-Christian pagan Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate and while probably all of you are aware of the destruction being a sign of Gods anger towards the Jews, I rarely see brought up how the destruction of the temple exposes the Jews as fakes and hypocrites.
But lets start at the beginning. The wages of sin is death which has to be paid in blood, meaning no matter how small our sin it condemns us to death. Now God however gave us a way to redeem ourselves, to show how we are sorry for our deeds, sacrifices. We show we are sorry for our sin by giving up something we value a lot and which is important to us. Livestock being just that, and important source of food we need to survive, which we give up to show we are sorry and to remind us just how costly our sins actually are. These sacrifices, to be done on the altar of God and in front of the ark of the covenant, as well as having many other appointed dates where the priesthood (and noone else) has to bring an offering before it for the sake of all of Israel.
