The REAL TRUTH of Why Jesus Cleared The Temple

What's your point?

Yes, I watched the video. For those interested, go to 3:50 for beginning of discussion of the money-changers in the temple.

I don't have a point. The Creator has the point.
 
So, what IS the point? That this is why Jews were persecuted? Was that the point of the creator?
 
Is this something about the illuminati or freemasons ?
 
I tend to avoid the real truth and when it's the REAL TRUTH I definitely avoid it.
 
We know why he cleared out the temple.
However why post a YouTube video and say nothing about it?

Why does the op think he cleared out the temple?

I won't entertain the video because I am leery of such things so I will go to scripture.

In those days Roman coinage was the accepted money in most business transactions.
However the Jewish temple did not take it.
So in order to buy your sacrifice for your family you had to convert your Roman coins to temple script.

Well the money changers were not charging a 1:1 ratio. They might be charging a 3:1 or 3:2 ratio rom:temple.
You then had to buy your sacrifice (inflated cost as well) then you had to change what you had left over back to Roman coins.
So they might give you 2:3 or 1:3 rom:temple on the way out.

They were ripping people off and making a ton of money over something that was supposed to be a sacred ritual.
When Christ saw what was going on he drove them out and turned their tables and said.

My house shall be a house of prayer but you have turned it into a den of thieves.
