Basically this passage refers to the early years of trade and banking, something that has become commonplace among people today. Money, banking, loans, interest, investments, etc serves to separate and divide the people. Now we have rich and poor. But even rich people struggle to reach innate divine spirituality. Our natural spiritual side has long since been completely removed and we more or less only srtive to earn more cash, rather than to enjoy what our spiritual selves would have been able to achieve, which has become something so distant and strange to us now. Yet the birds are truly free, man is not. The animals don't have bank accounts and neither do they have to follow laws and rules of conduct, theirs are innate rules connected to thier being whole with their surroundings while man separates and divides everything into categories and destroys the very earth on which he depends for nourishment. Money has completely warped our true natures That's really what is missing in our hearts and Jesus knew this then.
It WAS about the temple becoming a MONEY BANKING AND LENDING insitution. Christs' words apply to this very day. Money and the owners of its source. From nowhere than any other source has there been unlimited agony and death as there has and is for money.
I agree! Catholic temples decorated in gold, and priceless art works! Popes and bishops wearing crowns with jewels and precious stones, carrying gold staffs, rings, sitting on marble thrones. I think Jesus would be disgusted.
The question is, are preachers TODAY willing to do the SAME thing to religious BUSINESSMEN who sell their books, tapes and cds at a HIGH PRICE, when most of them are money lovers and partners in crime?
Bankruptcy: banka - rupta, broken board. A practice whereby one who makes their living by charging interest on transactions is put out of business by having their counting table broken.
God Bless You all. Jesus is King. Repent and Believe in Jesus before it’s too late. It will be the best decision of Your life. He is coming back if you didn’t know. The Rapture will happen.
You obviously missed the point. It's not what you said. It's because they were not honoring what that area was intended for by turning it into an area of sheer enterprise and enrichment pushing out the reason for the temple area.
It could also mean as simple as robbing God of what belongs to Him. He said “the temple of God should be a house of prayer but you have turned it into a den of theives” Our body is the temple of God, when did we spend time with God through prayer? Arent we robbing Him of our time for Him? There are so much meaning to robbing God. What else are we putting first in your lives? Entertainment? Sports? Hobby? If all other things has been robbing of our first love for Jesus. Then we robbing God. “My house should be a house of prayer” when did we soak ourselves into prayer?
faith042179. You got it all wrong buddy. Jesus came among the Jewish congregation to discuss foreign policy. The whip buddy refers to him lashing out with his tongue at the Jewish leaders of Judah and Jerusalem about them selling Hebrew families to the Greeks and Arabs. The cords refers to him ( Jesus ) stringing words together from the books of the scrolls. And make means he's to introduce to the Jews in front of their foreign friends those words from the books of Nehemiah and Ezra.
Lie, the jews inside were lending money on interest and interest was prohibited in the law of moses so he was angry at them and turned tables , in this practice jusus resembles muslims😂😂
There was no interest. They were money changers. If you had pagan coins, they were not allowed. You had to have Jewish coins with no symbols. But the money changers were robbing the people by charging outrageous exchange rates. Plus conducting business on holy ground. Also you could buy animals to sacrifice. So there was goats and sheep defecating in the Temple. And Jesus rightfully tossed them out and told them to take their dirty goats outside and also not conduct business in holy ground. Which is forbidden. Plus not robbing the people with outrageous exchange rates.
@@haylobos8261 At the time of jesus , romans ruled over them ,romans at that time were idol worshippers , there was no point of "monothestic coins" , the coins had to have pagan symbols.
@@MrKhan-A07 They had their own kings and their own money. You are just spouting nonsense. They were client kingdom of Rome. Like Saudi and Pakistan. They are controlled by the West. But have their own money. Your anti-semitism is making you spout nonsense. Juice weren't known for money lending 2000 years ago. Even now, they only lend money on interest to gentiles. But not to each other.
Usury is forbidden to all human kind to be as such to one another. Their religion or beliefs are not the issue. Usury is a blasphemy and a hippocracy unto the entire world in this day and time of now.
I am not Christian and came here to learn specifically why Jesus was upset at “money changers”. According to this, Jesus was mad that there might be coins with pagan symbols within the area of several football fields. Seems super petty. I dont see why “money changers” would be so prolific as to take over every single place in a city, including in a temple. So much so that Jesus would turn violent and start knocking over tables. He couldn’t ask them? But turning over tables would somehow make them leave? Either Jesus had the authority to tell them to leave, or he didn’t. Turning over tables isn’t going to solve anything. This story seems like BS to me.
why don't these raggedy preachers teach the truth ? turn over tables connotes a change in government policies. Jesus started off by ministering what Nehemiah came to dismiss ? the practice of moneylending ? in exchange for Hebrew families. ( African families ) being sold to the Greeks ? through the Sidonians and the Tyrians ? ( Joel 3:1-6 ) The Jews being at the center of all this... The Arabians having their part in this slave trade ? along with some African leaders. Jesus came to Jerusalem to speak to the Jewish High Priests in front of these foreign friends of theirs. using God's whip ? which is his lash of the tongue to lash out at these groups of merchants. Of Cords refers to what the book of Job calls... ( a string of words ) words of which Jesus uses from verses of certain books to lash out at the whole of them.
I wonder if Bob got a vision or even a voice around him which made him convert to Christianity in his dieing days...I'd say it was powerful being in that room that day...what a special man he was I'm sure you will agree...I jus thought I'd say that first after seeing your name:) and about the guy in this video he does not explain this subject well at all..I can understand your frustration...
Christopher O'Neil Well no... they were selling at the temple and they turned it into a den of thief’s. It was the house of his father. He wasn’t anti capitalist
Well said, Lord Jesus and His disciples are more socialist and communist than capitalists. On Acts they shared one thing in common, they have equality unlike The Christianity today, where most preachers are rich while most of their members are poor
Hi. I The Pharisees were a "den of thieves"? So what? It was Jesus who said "Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again" (Luke 6:30). Clearly Jesus let's thieves keep their stolen goods. What is his justification for finding fault with the Pharisees when acting as "a den of thieves" in their own patch? Cheers, P.R.
You've heard it said that the Lord Jesus spoke in the Temple only to the gentiles, this is not true; He spoke in side the Jewish courts when He said " I am the light of the world" to only Jew's. Jesus also preached in the gentiles court of course to the both Jew's and gentiles. It would be wrong to say that the word's of Jeremiah the prophet were to the gentiles, for the gentiles could not turn the Jewish Temple into anything while the Jew's were in control; it was to the Jew's who allowed this corruption, and it was not considered only the court of gentiles but the Temple for He said " it is written my Father's House" not the Court of the gentiles only...
Ill tell you why he did it..because he is setting a type and thats what hes going to do to the bankers when he comes again..scatter their money and overturn their tables
Usury is defined as charging interest by lenders. (Even 1% infuriated The Prophet Nathan) This is a very serious issue, why? Usury is a very grave sin. It is condemned by Our Almighty Creator. Condemned by Christianity in the bible. Condemned by Judaism in the Torah. Condemned by Islam in the Quran. Condemned by Buddhism. It is considered a worse sin than many adulteries and worse than murder and stealing. Alah-is Aramaic Hebrew word for Elohim. In the Quran it says that Alah declared war against Riba or Usury-charging interest. The Word, says according to scripture. The person who lends with interest or usury should not be allowed to live. A death sentence is passed to the one who lends with interest or usury in the Torah and in the Christian Bible. In the Quran it says. Alah declared war against Riba or the ones lending with interest or usury. You think death is the end of the punishment? They will be burned in hell for all eternity. They will forget who they were for the longest time of no end, but their dry mouths thirst, pain and suffering fire of their punishment shall never end.
Wayne Blake you are a stupid ideologue consumed by your false religion. Youre not even human just a talking piece for a hateful ideal. Jesus is the messiah and he loves you, turn from your satanic ways and ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOUR!
Alright, now let's look at reality. For over 2000 years the Jews had their religion. Their religion required a sacrifice to GOD (Genisi 4.3). GOD and his wisdom put down Cane for bringing produce and was happy with Abel's lamb sacrifice. Now with that in mind, the only way city Jews could get this sacrifice was to buy it from merchants (at tables) in front of the Temple ( not in the Temple). Now, what was Jesus trying to prove by violently turning over those tables? Would any Christian smile if another religious person of another faith assaulted them? Hey, what of that saying of Jesus; Do onto others as you would have them do onto you. Something to think about here.
@@erickamakeeaina1649 The notion???? Once again, you needed a sacrifice for the Temple! A city person usually did not have such a sacrifice! Do you know what agony a Jewish person would face with no proper sacrifice? Finally, those tables could have been a BUSINESS!? Have you ever been to the Vatican. You want to talk about a business. Can you say gold goblets and tithings (10% of your income).
@@johncipolletti5611 If its something essential like that then it assuredly should not be something one is forced to pay for. I have seen the story compared to things like that, of Religon in the present day being used to make sales or get people's money, and it is bad now too.
@@johncipolletti5611 I think I should clarify, when I say 'the notion' what I was saying was that it was more the fact it was made into something one has to pay for rather then the sacrifices themselves that were the problem in that story.
@@erickamakeeaina1649 Wait....wait....isn't clean water essential. Should it be free? A roof over your head is essential. Should this be free? When it's freezing outside, Should the energy you use to heat yourself be free? Maybe we should pay for all of these things with tax payer money?
You know you messed up when Jesus comes at you with a whip
This is so funny but very tru
Lol 😂😂 that's what I always tell people you better attend to your sins before he attends to them haha
Because 'they' were practicing usury.. they still are. It is sin

He did this twice. Once near the beginning of his ministry & again at the end.

I think Jesus would have made a mess at Joel Osteen's church.

People that decided to follow Christ did not bow down or buy from pagan shops so they were denied an persecuted
He was bad for business
I’ve been struggling with this
True but his anger was justifiable
.....prayers of all nation. That's where the gentiles pray. By trading there they made the place unholy/corrupted.
