- Affected Teaching
- The modern versions omit a very important phrase “of God.” This shows
specifically that the temple which Jesus entered was the Temple of God.
Jesus quotes from both Isaiah and Jeremiah concerning the reason for the
temple.
(Isa 56:7 KJV) Even them will I bring to my holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their
sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called
an house of prayer for all people. (Jer 7:11 KJV) Is this house, which is
called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have
seen it, saith the LORD. The temple of God was to be
a house of prayer for all people but the temple leaders had turned it into a
personal business. This is why Jesus quotes from Jeremiah 7:11, that the
temple had become a den of robbers. Then Jesus commenced to toss out the
money changers. God specifically calls the temple “mine house” and “this
house which is called by my name“ that is what the Scripture in Matthew
21:12 is specifically alluding to when it states the temple of God because
this is a fulfillment of prophecy. By omitting “of God” one can place any
temple in this verse, even a pagan temple but the King James Bible retains
“of God” thus teaching us that the moneychangers were a fulfillment of
prophecy.
