THE TEMPLE OF HEROD
The rebuilding of the temple at the end of the 70-year Babylonian exile was in fact begun by Zerubbabel (Ezra 1:3; 3:12, 13; 4:1-24; Hag. 2:15-19; Zech. 6:12-15; Mal. 3:1).
This rebuilt temple was plundered continually by the kings of the north (Syria) and the kings of the south (Egypt) over the following nearly 400 years. King Herod rebuilt the temple in the last century before Christ to win the favour of the Jews. He took 46 years to build and adorn it. (John 2:20).
It is also this temple that stood in the time of Jesus Christ when He walked on earth. This temple is also known as the "the second temple".
In His ministry of three and a half years, Jesus Christ also spoke of the temple as My Father's house (John 2:16-20; Matt. 21:12-15). Jesus therefore still acknowledged the Old Covenant despite the hypocritical state of the temple service in his day.
This temple was destroyed in 70 AD by the Roman soldiers under Titus. It was the fulfilment of the prophecy by Jesus Christ nearly 40 years earlier (Matt. 23:38; 24:1, 2; Luke 19:41-46).
About this Plan
Through the centuries, the mere thought of Jerusalem has stirred the deepest feelings in both Jews and Christians. Jerusalem - Jerusalem, the city of the living God! Jesus wept over Jerusalem wherein the temple of the Lord stood. The prophet Isaiah spoke of this city and place in Isaiah 2:2-3. In the history and prophecies of Israel, there are references to four temples we will study in this plan.
