Martes Santo

Jesucristo condena el liderazgo de la nación judía con siete «Ayes» y un octavo (véase Mateo 23:13-36).

Hasta este punto de la historia, la administración del Reino de Dios ha estado en manos judías: la clase sacerdotal (saduceos) oficia en el Templo de Jerusalén y la clase rabínica (fariseos) enseña en las sinagogas a lo largo de la nación.

Pero los saduceos han convertido el templo en una especie de sistema bancario central: una cueva de ladrones. Mientras tanto, los fariseos explotan a los débiles, las viudas, los huérfanos y los extranjeros con la religión en sus sinagogas.

El orden judaico está llegando a su fin, Jesús les dijo:

– "Por eso os digo que el Reino de Dios os será quitado y será dado a una nación que produzca sus frutos... Al oír sus parábolas los principales sacerdotes y los fariseos, comprendieron que hablaba de ellos" (Mateo 21:43, 45).

Públicamente y ante toda la gente reunida en la plaza del Templo de Herodes, Jesús expone la maldad de los líderes judíos condenándolos de:

– Amantes del dinero.
– Guías ciegos que llevan a la gente al infierno.
– Raza de serpientes y sepulcros blanqueados.
– Los hijos de los asesinos de los profetas que llenan la medida ahora al querer matar a Jesús el Mesías.
– Pero sobre todo, la palabra que Jesucristo más les imputa es "hipócritas": ocho veces los llama hipócritas.

Esto es lo que es la religión judaica de los fariseos: una farsa, una pantomima, un esquema para lucrarse, un sistema hambriento de poder político que busca dominar a los demás y utilizar la religión como pretexto.

Toda la sangre inocente derramada sobre la tierra, desde Abel el justo hasta el último de los profetas, y ahora el del Mesías e Hijo de Dios encarnado, será demandada de la nación judía:

– "En verdad os digo que todo esto vendrá sobre esta generación" (Mateo 24:34).

Y eso fue precisamente lo que ocurrió en el año 70 d. C.: durante tres años y medio, las tropas romanas sitiaron Jerusalén y, cuando finalmente lograron entrar, no dejaron piedra sobre piedra y se produjo una matanza como nunca ha habido ni habrá jamás, una gran tribulación (Mateo 24:21), una rendición de cuentas divina (Lucas 21:22).

La antigua Jerusalén ya no existe; ahora existe la Nueva Jerusalén.
El antiguo orden judío ha pasado; en Cristo, todas las cosas se han renovado.
La Iglesia universal, construida sobre la Piedra desechada por los edificadores, es ahora el Israel del Dios vivo.

The Third Temple and the Return of Sacrifices

Many Christians have become fascinated with the idea that a third temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem and that animal sacrifices will begin again as part of God’s prophetic plan. This belief has spread widely through modern prophecy industry. Conferences, books and videos treat it as though it were a central part of God’s plan. But when we examine the Bible carefully, this expectation reveals a serious misunderstanding of what Christ accomplished on the cross.

Scripture does not treat the temple as the centre of God’s plan. The New Testament consistently teaches that the entire temple system reached its fulfilment in Jesus Christ. When Jesus died, He cried out, “It is finished” (John 19:30). That statement was a declaration that the sacrificial system had REACHED ITS COMPLETION. The work that the temple sacrifices pointed toward had finally been accomplished.

The book of Hebrews explains this with unmistakable clarity. The writer says that the priests under the old covenant “stand daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God” (Hebrews 10:11–12). Christ did not offer another temporary sacrifice. HE OFFERED THE FINAL ONE. That is why the chapter continues by declaring, “Where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin” (Hebrews 10:18).

This means the sacrificial system has reached its end. To return to animal sacrifices would not be a step forward in God’s redemptive plan. It would be a step backward toward shadows that have already been fulfilled in Christ. Hebrews warns about this very danger when it says that if the old system were still effective, the sacrifices would have continued without interruption (Hebrews 10:2). The reason they stopped is because Christ accomplished what they could never accomplish.

Many Christians overlook another crucial event recorded in the Gospels. At the moment Jesus died, “the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom” (Matthew 27:51). That was not an accident of history. It was a divine declaration that the barrier between God and man had been removed through the sacrifice of Christ. The temple no longer functioned as the meeting place between God and humanity because Christ Himself had become the true mediator.

The New Testament goes even further by redefining the temple itself. Believers are now described as the temple of God. Paul writes, “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). The church is built together as a spiritual house where God dwells by His Spirit (Ephesians 2:19–22). The focus of God’s dwelling place is no longer a physical building in Jerusalem but the people redeemed by Christ.

This is why the expectation of a future temple with renewed sacrifices is not merely an interpretive mistake. It strikes at the heart of the gospel itself. If sacrifices were to resume as a legitimate act of worship, it would imply that the sacrifice of Christ was insufficient. The entire message of Hebrews exists to prevent that kind of thinking.

Some argue that future sacrifices would only serve as memorials of Christ’s death. But the Bible never describes animal sacrifices as memorial rituals. In the Old Testament they were offerings for sin. To reintroduce them in that form would contradict the clear teaching that Christ’s sacrifice was offered once for all.

History also teaches us something important here. The temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70 just as Jesus predicted (Matthew 24:2). That destruction marked the visible end of the old covenant system. Since that day the worship of God has not been tied to a temple structure. Jesus Himself had already said that the hour was coming when true worship would not be confined to a place but would occur “in spirit and truth” (John 4:21–24).

If a third temple were ever built in Jerusalem, it would not restore biblical worship. It would represent a tragic rejection of the finished work of Christ. The reintroduction of sacrifices would not honour the cross. It would deny its sufficiency. Hebrews is explicit that Christ offered one sacrifice for sins for all time and that where forgiveness has been secured there is no longer any offering for sin (Hebrews 10:12, 18). Any system that returns to animal offerings after the death of the Son of God would be proclaiming, whether intentionally or not, that the cross was not enough.

IT MUST ALSO BE SAID PLAINLY THAT MUCH OF THE MODERN ENTHUSIASM FOR A REBUILT TEMPLE IS NOT DRIVEN BY THE GOSPEL BUT BY POLITICAL ZIONISM AND NATIONALIST AGENDAS THAT ATTEMPT TO MERGE BIBLICAL LANGUAGE WITH GEOPOLITICAL AMBITIONS.

When Christians uncritically adopt those narratives, they end up supporting a project that shifts attention away from Christ and back to shadows that the New Testament declares fulfilled. The gospel moves forward from the altar to the cross, not backward from the cross to the altar.

That is why the church must approach this subject with theological clarity rather than prophetic excitement. The gospel does not move backward to the shadows of the old covenant. It moves forward in the reality that Christ has accomplished redemption once for all.

The true temple has already come.
The final sacrifice has already been offered.
And the last word spoken from the cross still stands.

“IT IS FINISHED.” (John 19:30)

1907: Electric lights replace candles. Procter & Gamble's candle business collapses. They pivot to soap but animal fats are expensive.

They need cheaper alternatives. Enter cottonseed oil.

Cotton seeds contain oil, but it's toxic to humans - gossypol, a natural pesticide. The seeds are agricultural waste, fed to cattle in small amounts or discarded.

But chemically extract the oil, heat it to extreme temperatures, hydrogenate it with pressurized hydrogen gas, and you get solid white fat that looks like lard but costs pennies.

They patent it in 1907, launch Crisco in 1911. Crystallized cottonseed oil.

Industrial waste transformed into soap substitute.

Except they don't market it as soap. They market it as food.

Problem: nobody wants to eat textile manufacturing waste processed with industrial chemicals. Your grandmother cooks with lard and tallow like humans have for thousands of years.

Solution: Convince America that animal fats are killing them.

Procter & Gamble spends millions on marketing. Cookbooks, radio shows, free samples. They target Jewish communities advertising Crisco as kosher - "neither meat nor dairy!"

But the genius move: 1948. The American Heart Association has $1,700 in their budget. Procter & Gamble donates $1.7 million.

Suddenly the AHA has funding and influence. And suddenly they're very interested in dietary causes of heart disease.

1961: The AHA issues first dietary guidelines. Avoid saturated fat from animals. Replace with vegetable oils. Recommended oils: Crisco, Wesson, and other seed oils.

Who benefits: Procter & Gamble. Who funded the AHA: Procter & Gamble.

The conflict is blatant. Nobody cares.
Never mind that humans ate animal fats for millions of years without epidemic heart disease. Never mind that seed oils oxidize rapidly and integrate into cell membranes creating inflammation for years.

Industrial cottonseed waste is now "heart healthy" and butter is "artery-clogging poison."

1980s: Trans fats are discovered to be catastrophically unhealthy. They directly cause heart disease.

Procter & Gamble's response: Quietly reformulate, keep selling seed oils, never acknowledge their "heart healthy" product spent 70 years actively causing disease.

No apologies. No compensation. Just reformulate and continue.

Modern research shows seed oils cause oxidative stress, inflammatory cascades, mitochondrial dysfunction, increased cancer risk, and neurodegenerative disease.

Your body requires exactly zero grams. They didn't exist in human diets until 1911.

But Procter & Gamble needed to sell soap alternatives and accidentally created the largest dietary change in human history. We traded animal fats that built civilizations for factory waste that causes disease.

The soap company won.
