Ever wonder why Jesus was so angry at the people selling animals in the Temple? In this video... we explain!
Mat 21:12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
Mat 21:13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”
Learn so much from listening to you,
A priest that expects financial benefits is NOT a priest!
Enjoyed that.
He totally had a right to be angry. It's called righteous indignation. He was totally pissed that these jackasses were turning his Father's house into a den of thieves instead of a house of prayer and worship.
I totally get the bit on why He got angry, I'm just not sure if that was the best reaction? What happened to controlling our anger?
@@julietmoraa5106 well it's like this, yes it's true we were told that we were supposed to have self control. But it said we're made in God's image right? Well we have many sides and many emotions although we are falling and imperfect, but Jesus, He was God in the flesh. Okay so if you had a bunch of kids and say while you were gone on a trip they had a bunch of parties, tore up your house, and made your house a den of thieves. Do you really think you would come up in your house and confront your kids all calm and shit. I don't think so. God gets angry. If you're any kind of a Christian and you've read the Bible you've seen his anger in his rap and the Old testament and even his anger and judgment and wrath in the New testament because he's the same yesterday, today and forever. So if you don't agree with that, that's fine, but it's really sad that the supposed body of Christ is always criticizing each other and are divided. Jesus is not coming back for a whore in a stained dress just remember that.
@@PrincessZeeBee Thanks. I've been thinking about it, and what you said was part of what, in my mind, I considered might answer the question. Also, I wasn't critisizing, I have genuinely been trying to understand some of what may be perceived as unholy behavior from our Savior.
@@julietmoraa5106 oh I hear you. Sometimes it's confusing and hard to discern. I understand where you're coming from. I guess it's always good to remember to test the spirit. Sometimes I forget that too and have to be reminded.
@@PrincessZeeBee God bless you Amy and thanks for engaging with me.
Good stuff
I always look forward to your videos and was happy to see a notification on my phone about this one. I really appreciate you digging into this. I never considered how awful the people were being taken advantage of. Excellent work.
I didn't realize how bad it was either. I was surprised to see just how deep the corruption ran in the Jewish elite. There are several other historical sources that talk about corruption in other areas of Jewish life. It is definitely an interesting study.
I’ve always thought that Jesus crossed the line when he went Postal at the Temple. The Priests and Pharisees were personally threatened and were compelled to act.
I appreciate you making this video
Excellent Video!
Thank you so much for this! This is helping me with a sermon I am working on so way to have that knowledge! I think I remember my children's pastor also bringing up how animals would be reused since the ones buying the animals never got to see the full sacrifice taking place. This way the temple didn't have to waste their healthy animals.
I'm glad you found the video helpful. I have some more detailed notes on Matthew 21 and this particular passage on the website (2belikeChrist.com). You may find them helpful. I included a lot of detail in them that I couldn't fit into this video.
@@2BeLikeChrist Thank you so much man! I heavily appreciate that. Continue to grow in the faith my brother.
Thanks so much making it clear. Great Job 👍👍
Hey, Kevin! Glad it was helpful :)
Thank you thank you thank you for being so on point in all that you stated. Very great research on this topic. I did a UA-cam video somewhat similar concerning Extortioners, Embezzlers, Liars, Thieves, Manipulators, etc,. wearing "suits, dresses, etc" about using "objects" that we do see in the Bible being used at one time or another, not often, but ONLY surrounded a particular person's situation and that's all NOT to trick, coerce, swindle, or any words alike people into "sowing a seed" and believing when the so-called "free items" are sent to them the "things" not Jesus is going to deliver them from all their troubles. Excellent work!
Thanks Crystal! I'm going to check out your video.
Good topic and great info! Saddening that these greedy religious leaders won't even spare the temple of God. Their overwhelming iniquities, both the rulers and their hypocrite followers, is why Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed twice. And history just repeats itself, still happening nowadays. False preachers/religious leaders who makes money out of religion.
Micah 3:10-12
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. 12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
Yes, it is sad that many preachers and teachers today fall into the same trap of loving money so much. Many good people who are searching for God are being lied to by men/women like that.
That's India currency Cooool Bro... :) Those are old money notes which was decommissioned on 2016(500s & 1000s) Well Hello from India thank you for the good work. I never knew the context of the passage. Ty :D
.
Hi from the USA! Yes, I picked those up when I was in India in 2016. It was right before they changed over to the new currency. Indian money is definitely more colorful and interesting than American money haha.
@@2BeLikeChrist I almost forgot how the old currency looked although its only been a year. New ones a more colorful too. Came India!!! Wow. In India where ? May I knw why ? Did u liked the nation ?
I came here to find a perspective on modern churches making sales pitches for shirts and songs on the pulpit. I believe they are similar in story. Thank you.
awesome understanding of how god works good job young man could you do a video of jesus in the garden the night he was betrayed? would love to view that indeed
If you can explore the purity of the coins, I would appreciate it. I heard once that this was the only official place they could exchange their money to get the correct coin they needed so as to pay the tax. In exchanging their currency, I heard they were ripped off as the purity (i.e. silver or gold content) of the coins they were giving was higher than what was being returned.
I also heard that Jesus went twice to the same place, making a rukus i.e. at the beginning and at the end of his ministry. There would have been many preachers claiming to be the Messiah at that time but he was the one that disrupted business, so needed to be eliminated.
So since we are the temple. What if he is angry just about people in general tempting believers and continually trying to justify and encouraging wrong doing leading followers of Christ down the wrong path. And this story was just an expression of his anger. Like he's table flipping mad.
Hey I see Indian bills being exchanged for dollar. It's nice to see Indian currency one is INR 500 bill which is de-monetised, the next one is INR 100 bill, then INR 50 bill then the INR 10 bill.
Hey Vinod, yes, I got the Indian currency when I was in Assam a few years ago.
Don't call mad,,, what Jesus did is very right thing mad people never understand
So much for slow to wrath and being peaceful….
@@josephpchajek2685 Not even close Jesus said to turn the other cheek, and other similar quotes to be slow to wrath. But yes I agree with you to defend good and defeat evil.
