THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM

1. The most beautiful Temple was built and dedicated by King Solomon in 957 BC (2 Chronicles 7). The Jews regard it as the First Temple.

2. The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC. The Temple structure lasted for less than 400 years!

3. The Second Temple was built after the Jews returned after their 70 years exile.
This lasted from 516 BC to 70 AD when the Romans finally razed it to the ground.

a. The Returnees did all they could to rebuild it.
b. But it lacked the physical grandeur of the First Temple.
c. King Herod devoted much time and resources to improve the Temple.
d. The Second Temple once again drew much admiration from the Jews.

THE DISCIPLES OF THE LORD JESUS

“Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said, ‘These things which you see—the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.’”

Luke 21:5-6

1. The comments of some of the Disciples about the Temple.

a. It was adorned with beautiful stones
b. It was supported and sustained by substantial donations.
i. The rich gave substantially to support the Temple.
ii. Even the very poor gave towards the support of the Temple (Luke 21:1-4).

2. The comments of the Lord Jesus was startingly different.

a. He did not share the enthusiasm and admiration of the Disciples.
i. He had cleansed the Temple that had been misused and abuse (Luke 19:45-48).
ii. The religious leaders had been proven to be hypocritical and spiritually blind.
b. He warned of the destruction of the Temple in days to come.
i. This was startling news

c. 希律王花了很多时间和精力改善圣殿

d. 第二个圣殿又得到犹太人的钦佩
