According to the Tanakh, the forgiveness of sins requires sacrifices made in the temple, particularly the Yom Kippur rituals. The Temple was destroyed in 70CE and cannot be rebuilt because of the Muslims and the Al-Aqsa mosque. Could this be a sign from God that sins are now to be forgiven by other means?
The Talmud says that 40 years before the temple's destruction, there were signs associated with Yom Kippur rituals that showed that God no longer accepted them:

Christians say this was because Jesus died as the atonement for sins in 30 or 31 CE, thus fulfilling Daniel 9:27 and making temple sacrifices and offerings redundant. Could the modern lack of a temple be a hint from God pointing to this?
