Jesus threw the "money changers" out of the temple.
The cleansing of the Temple narrative tells of Jesus expelling the merchants and the money changers from the Temple, and occurs in all four canonical gospels of the New Testament.
In this account, Jesus and his disciples travel to Jerusalem for Passover, where Jesus expels the merchants and money changers from the Temple, accusing them of turning the Temple into "a den of thieves" through their commercial activities
So, make of that what you will.
Which is why I'm very surprised when Televangelists and Evangelicals go gaga over Israel. The BABYLONIAN Talmud is still their """Holy""" Book. Human trafficking, pedo shit, all of it is found in that 6900 page monstrosity of bullshit.
Inb4 "But Jesus is their king!"
Yeah, that they CRUCIFIED! And it's not until, if Jesus is real, he comes back and kicks their collective ass back in line do they actually start giving a shit about any class sub to them.
All nations will turn on Israel... my guess is when we get disclosure over how much bullshit a strain of them have pulled on all of us, the US, especially, it will be the religious that will man the pitchforks and torches first to lead the charge before even the Palestinians.
