1 Maccabees 1 (APOCRYPHA)
Persecution of the Jews
20 After subduing Egypt, Antiochus returned in the one hundred forty-third year.[c] He went up against Israel and came to Jerusalem with a strong force.
21 He arrogantly entered the sanctuary and took the golden altar, the lampstand for the light, and all its utensils.
22 He took also the table for the bread of the Presence, the cups for drink offerings, the bowls, the golden censers, the curtain, the crowns, and the gold decoration on the front of the temple; he stripped it all off.
23 He took the silver and the gold, and the costly vessels; he took also the hidden treasures that he found.
24 Taking them all, he went into his own land.
Nebuchadnezzar II = raided temple
Antiochus IV = raided temple x2
Procurator Gessius Florus = raided temple
Titus = raided temple
So many more times the temple was targeted, raided, taken over….it was a bank, there was no God in the temple, "Den of thieves" said Jesus. Fighting money exchangers and merchants selling trinkets and animals of all kinds to sacrifice. All for the love of money as it is written.
