The ROLE OF BASELESS HATRED IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE 2ND TEMPLE, AND THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST

The First Temple was destroyed because of the 3 sins of sexual immorality, murder and idolatry. And the Jews were exiled for a period of only 70 years. After this period, God allowed them to return to their land and rebuilt the 2nd Temple which stood another 400+ years. Yet, for the seemingly minor sin of Baseless Hatred the 2nd Temple was destroyed and the Jews and Christians were exiled for 2,000 years now! The punishment seems to be greater than the first Temple! WHY?

WHY WAS THE 2ND TEMPLE DESTROYED?

• "The Jewish Sages teach that every generation in which the Temple is not rebuilt is as wicked as the generation in which it was destroyed; for, had we been worthy, the Temple would have been rebuilt in our days."

For about 2,000 years now, Man was deprived of the physical Temple in Jerusalem. What is the importance of this Temple in Jerusalem? This Temple is supposed to be the "Holy Hotel" or residence of God on this Earth. This Temple is also the conduit of God's Blessings from Heaven to Earth.

Why was the Second Temple destroyed? Because of Sinat Chinam, the unwarranted or Baseless Hatred of many Jews and Christians against each other. Today, Baseless Hatred of all sorts are still rampant in man's society. Therefore, God's Temple in Jerusalem is still in its "destroyed state" even today.

The CHRISTIANS ARE AS GUILTY AS THE JEWS!

The same principle applies also to the Christians, even today. The divinely ordained entry of the Gentiles to the early Jewish Church was before the destruction of the 2nd Temple. Thus, the Christians are as guilty as anybody else of the sin of "baseless hatred."

The time of the second Temple was a time that the Talmud describes as one when people were occupied with Torah or the Bible, mitzvos (commandments), and acts of kindness. But, there was baseless hatred still. Baseless Hatred is an extremely serious and pervasive problem that negated everything else, including their good deeds.

It's an abomination today, that human killings have even become a business and career to some people as "professional hired-killers!" And then we hear from the news about the "salvaging" of people, their bodies just thrown as garbage anywhere. Then, we have the many cases of "hazing" of innocent students perpetuated by "brotherhood" fraternities. 

These are just a few examples of the many cases of baseless hatred and murders that are perpetuated and allowed by the wicked society. Just like the blood of Abel spilled in the ground by Cain, the victims' blood are also crying for justice. Surely, GOD, who is the GOD of Justice, will act to punish those responsible.

The Zohar also mentioned that "baseless hatred" is one of the major sins of the generation of Noah that caused the worldwide flood! There's no hope for all of us until we all learn how to live with each other in peace, and respect each other, regardless of differences.

CHRIST PREDICTED THE DESTRUCTION OF THE 2ND TEMPLE

During the time of Jesus Christ the 2nd Temple was still standing, and He prophesied that it will be destroyed (Matthew 24:1-2).

• As Jesus left and was going out of the temple complex, His disciples came up and called His attention to the temple buildings. (Mat 24:1)

• Then He replied to them, "Don't you see all these things? I assure you: Not one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down!" (Mat 24:2)

About 40 years later, it really happened. The later Jewish sages agreed with Christ that the 2nd Temple was destroyed because of BASELESS HATRED (Matthew 24:10).

• Then many will take offense, betray one another and HATE ONE ANOTHER. (Mat 24:10)

JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF IS ALSO A VICTIM OF BASELESS HATRED!

• He who hates me, hates my Father also. (John 15:23 HNV)

• If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father. (John 15:24 HNV)

• But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their Torah, 'They hated me without a cause.' (Joh 15:25 HNV)

UNITY AMONG JEWS AND CHRISTIANS IS REQUIRED TO HASTEN REDEMPTION 

The Second Temple was destroyed because of lack of unity among the Jewish people and the early Church membership, which already includes the Gentile converts. And for us, to be qualified to be taken as God's people, we need to be likened to, "one man with one heart." 
As it is written in Exodus 19:2," and there Israel camped before the mount." (with "camped" written in the singular).

Therefore, in order for us to restore our intimate relationship with God, who is Echad (one), we must become ECHAD => A unified people. This in turn will hasten the ultimate redemption.

WORLD LEADERS (RELIGIOUS & POLITICAL) ARE MAKING FOOLISH DECISIONS BECAUSE OF THEIR IGNORANCE OF GOD'S MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM!

When deceived religious people and leaders are in authority (like the Scribes and Pharisees in the time of Christ), they usually persecutes, and even kill their preconceived enemies. Their Baseless Hatred even grows stronger when these preconceived "enemies" appear to be a threat to their religio-political power and authority.

• They will ban you from the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering service to God. They will do these things because they haven't known the Father or Me. (John 16:2-3)

What caused the grave error in their judgments? It is the ignorance or lack of the MESSIANIC KABBALAH Wisdom. And the lack of Messianic Kabbalah knowledge and Wisdom breeds Baseless Hatred. 

• But WE SPEAK GOD'S (MESSIANIC KABBALAH) WISDOM IN A MYSTERY, the Wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, (1Cor 2:7 HNV)

• WHICH NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS WORLD HAS KNOWN. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of Glory. (1Cor 2:8 HNV)

PEOPLE AND THEIR LEADERS DISREGARD GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS AND LAWS IN THE BIBLE!

According to Ezekiel 9:9, people and nations today think and do according to their own human logic and traditions. They don't think that the God in Heaven has something to say or do with regard to their human decisions and actions. They don't consult God or check the Bible if their action, traditions, religious beliefs/practices are according to the Laws and instructions of God in the Bible. And because of these ungodly decisions and actions people, Churches, Religions, and Nations invite evils and curses to themselves!


There would be no way that anyone would unjustly rationalize the death sentence of another. But because the spirit of Baseless Hatred was prevalent, then and now, religious people and Churches justified murder. Baseless Hatred, therefore, is the root cause of murder, and it is a major cause of the destruction of the 2nd Temple.

• Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: (Mat 5:21 KJV)

• But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment ... (Mat 5:22 KJV)
