ra7b the role of this Temple in Jewish life cannot
BE OVERSTATED!
For
thèn THE
Temple STILL serves
as calendar & clock for the Jews;
its rituals mark the cycle of the year and shape the day-to-day activities of every inhabitant of Jerusalem?
It is the center of commerce for all Judaea, it's chief financial institution & by far largest "bank"! The Temple is as much
THE 'dwelling place' of Yisrael's G d às is the 'seat' of Israel's nationalist aspirations; it houses not only the sacred writings
and scrolls of law that maintain the Jewish cult, it ìs the main repository for the legal documents, historical notes,
and genealogical records of the Jewish nation!
Unlike their heathen neighbors,
the Jews do not have a multiplicity of temples scattered across the land.
There is only one cultic center, one unique source for the divine presence, one singular place and no other
where a Jew càn commune with the living G d! Judaea is, for all intents and purposes, a temple-state?! The very term
"theocracy" was coined specifically to describe Yerushalayim!? "SOME PEOPLE HAVE ENTRUSTED THE SUPREME
POLITICAL POWERS TO MONARCHIES," wrote the first-century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, "OTHERS
TO OLIGARCHIES, YET OTHERS TO THE MASSES [democracy]! OUR LAWGIVER [G D], however,
was attracted by none of these forms of polity, but gave to his constitution the form of what -
if a forced expression be permitted - may be
termed a 'theocracy' [THEOKRATIA],
placing all sovereignty and
authority in 'the
hands of
G d'!"
