Did God allow the JEWISH TEMPLE to be destroyed in 70 a.d.??

Question

I think that the reason was that the Jews no longer needed to offer animal sacrifces since Christ ransomed the world once and for all.
your thoughts?

Answer 1

First, God has allowed the temple in Jerusalem to be destroy many times. It's just a building without God.

Second, after the coming of Christ, the Temple has no meaning to Christians. The Church has meaning and it is not confined within a building.

Third, Jews do not believe that Jesus is the savior.

Answer 2

according to the midrash, "the Second Temple was destroyed because of the unwarranted, needless hatred between jew and fellow jew".

"I think that the reason was that the Jews no longer needed to offer animal sacrifces since Christ ransomed the world once and for all.
your thoughts?"

faulty reasoning. a) how does that account for the long period in which the first temple was destroyed and no animal sacrifices could be made, several centuries before jesus? and b) animal sacrifices are not needed to forgive sins.

Answer 3

I can't say as I believe in Jesus the same way you do, but he was a nice Jewish boy, who hassled all the authorities, religious and secular, and as such I admire him, as I admire all Jewish trouble-makers. That being said, let's look at the historical facts, with my own speculation thrown in for good measure! I think God (who I believe in, by the way) allowed the temple to be destroyed because it had been turned into a corrupt political pigpen that was dragging the Jewish people down instead of lifting them up. The high priests were chosen more by who could suck up to Ceasar and the Sanhedren (kind of a religious Jewish Congress) than for scholarship or piety. When you compromise with evil, you become evil. God doesn't like evil, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Answer 4

the respond is given interior the Talmud, Tractate Gittin. It replaced into by way of fact of baseless hatred. the story there is of a confusion of two people, one properly-referred to as Kamtsa and the different as bar-Kamtsa. the incorrect one replaced into invited to a party. The host is going over and tells him to leave. He provides to pay for his component, then a million/2 the dinner party, then the excellent dinner party, yet is compelled out and alter into embittered. He then is going to the Romans and tells convinces them that the Jews are beginning a insurrection. The Romans respond and the Jews truthfully insurrection. The revolution is crushed and the Temple is destroyed. The Talmud then says that God cares lots approximately people who're embarrassed that He truthfully helped him wreck the Temple. The lesson is that we could constantly no longer hate eachother!

Answer 5

Baloney. Just because something happens doesn't mean that God wanted it to happen. If God had wanted to stop the Jewish sacrifices, then why did the Apostles continue to worship at the Jewish Temple long after the ascension of Christ? (see Acts 2:46, 3:1, 5:21, 5:42, 21:26, 22:17, 24:18, etc.)

Maybe the Jewish Temple was destroyed because the Romans decided to destroy it. Or is that too easy?

Answer 6

Forty years before the Holy Temple was destroyed the following things happened: The lot for the Yom Kippur goat ceased to be supernatural; the red cord of wool that used to change to white [as a symbol of God's forgiveness) now remained red and did not change and the western candle in the candlestick in the sanctuary refused to burn continually while the doors of the Holy Temple would open of themselves. [Tractate Yoma 39:b]

what happened about 40 years before the temple was destroyed(in 70AD)?

and

Why was the first Holy Temple destroyed? Because of three wicked things: idol worship, adultery, and murder. But in the second Temple in which time the Jewish people were occupied studying the Torah and doing good deeds and acts of charity why was it then destroyed? The answer is: It was because of hatred without a cause to teach you, that hate without a cause is equal to these sins and that it is as serious a crime as the three great transgressions of idol worship, adultery, and murder. [Yoma 9].

hate who?

If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not sin; but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause [John 15.24, 25].

and

24Seventy weeks [of years, or 490 years] are decreed upon your people and upon your holy city [Jerusalem], to finish and put an end to transgression, to seal up and make full the measure of sin, to purge away and make expiation and reconciliation for sin, to bring in everlasting righteousness (permanent moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) to seal up vision and prophecy and prophet, and to anoint a Holy of Holies.

25Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem until [the coming of] the Anointed One, a Prince, shall be seven weeks [of years] and sixty-two weeks [of years]; it shall be built again with [city] square and moat, but in troublous times.

26And after the sixty-two weeks [of years] shall the Anointed One be cut off or killed and shall have nothing [and no one] belonging to [and defending] Him. And the people of the [other] prince who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood; and even to the end there shall be war, and desolations are decreed.(E)
Daniel 9: 24 - 26

Answer 7

Yes. With Christ's death, the curtain to the Holy of Holies was split in two. God had left the building.

Answer 8

Yes, It was foretold and they ignored the warning. What a terrible waste of life.
It was destroyed once before in 539 BCE. by Babylon. There it laid desolate for 70 years. But was rebuilt with the help and encouragement of Nehemiah.

Answer 9

It's because they continued to turn their backs to God, eventually putting his Son to death, do you not remember what the Jews said to Pilot, let his blood be upon us and our children. They rejected God's Son hence God, God destroyed Jerusalem and with it all their records, no longer would anyone be able to say what tribe they were from and no one would be able to legally claim to be the Christ because they could not prove their lineage.

Answer 10

If that's the case, then why did He allow the first Temple to be destroyed in 586 BCE?
