Changes

The Temple is mentioned many times in the [[New Testament]] (for example, {{bibleverse||(Mark|11:11}}) in addition to the Old Testament. In these scriptures, [[Jesus]] prays there ({{bibleverse||[[Mark|11:25-]]) and ([[Mark 11:26}}]]) and chases away money changers and other merchants from the courtyard, turning over their tables and accusing them of desecrating a sacred place with secular ways. Jesus also predicts the destruction of the Second Temple ({{bibleverse||[[Matthew|24:2}}]]) and allegorically compares his body to a temple that will be torn down and raised up again in three days. The temple will be reconstructed before, or concurrent with, the [[The Second Coming|Second Coming]] of [[Christ]].
