The MOST IMPORTANT PLACE on Earth John 7:28 (Episode #199)

The folks of Jerusalem are confused in 33AD why the authorities let Jesus teach in the TEMPLE, in JERUSALEM.  It WAS the most important place on earth. We have the (only and) Most Important God. That is why they built a temple THERE.  In that exact place. 

It is a very important place on our planet.  Before they built a temple there, one could argue it was the most important place on the earth.  The Temple did not make the place important, it was important BEFORE then.  The Temple just RECOGNIZED the place that was already important.  Geography informs interpretation.

That is why our Jerusalem-ites were confused:  They want to kill him.  That was apparently common knowledge by then.  But somehow the authorities are also allowing Jesus to SPEAK OPENLY, and worse:  SPEAK OPENLY IN THE T-E-M-P-L-E.  Where the Hand of the Lord was stayed 1000 years ago. (David and the avenging angel of the Census 2 Samuel 24).  Where the Hand of the Lord was stayed 2000 years ago when a Ram was provided for the non-sacrifice of Isaac. The Temple was a VERY important place because it rests ON a very important place.  Today, if you go to Jerusalem, there is no more temple.  But THE PLACE IS AS IMPORTANT as ever.  Nothing has changed.  Listen and share in their confusion as to why the authorities let Jesus speak in the MOST IMPORTANT PLACE on EARTH.
