Are you saying that the portion of the temple that Jesus was driving out the moneychangers was for the Gentiles? If so, that is very interesting.Beyond that, it sounds as though the insight I picked up on where the Scripture talks about God's house being a "house of prayer for all the nations" confirms what you are saying. The more I'm pondering this and your comments, the more I'm amazed at the truth at work here in these passages. Will,

Remember we are all ministers, and you are ministering to us with your writing. So much of the Passover can be seen in the week of His resurrection. I have read that the area of the tables was the area that Gentiles would have been able to assemble in prayer within the temple complex. They could go no further, but this area was reserved for them. The merchants had usurped the gentile position. What a God that designs a place for even nonbelievers to pray. Is there a lesson there for us? Should we allow nonbelievers access, that they might taste and see that the Lord is good? Great post Joe. Remember we are all ministers, and you are ministering to us with your writing.

I do remember telling her during the conversation that I needed to go back and add a few things that had popped into my head. I'm so glad you posted this comment. I'm going to remember this from now on. This is another perfect example of why Chuck Missler says that the Bible self-validates itself. It's 66 books, written by 40 different authors over a few thousand years, yet it is an integrated message. Everything is related and no point is too small. It all matters and is all significant. Every person, every place name...they all point to Christ in some way if you just dig deep enough.Wonderful insight, Jeff! Thank you so much for sharing it. Jeff,

I was explaining this new insight to my wife last night (the fig leaves). I think she was really tired because she wasn't quite getting my point. I started think that maybe it was too late for me, too, and that I wasn't make sense.Although I'm not sure God has called me to be a pastor, part of my goals--with God directing my path--is that this blog launches me into a career in the ministry. Not sure exactly where, but I really would to be able to do this for a living: Bible studies, research, blogging, etc. These are were my talents and passions lie.California is nice. Today is in going to be in the low 80's. Outside right now, it is truly beautiful with a nice breeze and not a cloud in the sky. That said, our weather can get boring. I mean, I'm more of a thunderstorm kind of guy. We rarely get anything out here that you'd consider "weather." I like to say that out here we have "climate!" Good morning Ike,
