Describe the place of the temple in first-century Jerusalem’s social, economic, and political life.
-
The temple was not only a religious center but also a focal point for social interaction. It served as a place for worship, prayer, and religious festivals, bringing together people from various backgrounds and regions. It played a central role in the economy through offerings, sacrifices, and trade. The temple had political significance, as it was seen as a symbol of Jewish identity and autonomy.
-
The temple was at the heart of life for people of this century. From economic to religious life. Scarifies and festivals were made and celebrated at the temple. Long journeys to celebrate these festivals and offer sacrifice were made here. As Jesus turned over the money changers in the temple this gives us a glimpse into what was going on at the temple. I can imagine like any large construction job money and labor flowed from the years it took to construct. The temple was the center of Jewish life, it was the home of God.

The <b style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit;”>temple played a significant role in first-century Jerusalem’s social, economic, and political life as it was central in these areas because three times a year people came to Jerusalem at specific times for one feast or ceremony or celebration. So Jerusalem played a significant role in the life of a Jewish both religiously, economically, politically, culturally and socially.

The Temple was meant to serve as the Jewish place of worship and was also used as a business or commercial centre where buying and selling took place. It translates today into the heart of the believer or the place where the Holy Spirit resides and operates in the life of the Christian.
-
The temple was at the center of life. It provided political structure/ties, important social interactions, and business connections/transactions.
-
How did onlookers react to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost? How did Peter respond? What was the outcome?
-
Acts 2:6-8 describes the reaction of the crowd:
“When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: ‘Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?’”
-
There was mixed reaction from onlookers to the out pouring of the Holy Spirit, some believed, others doubted and criticised it.
-
They were baffled. What they thought were drunk men, were actually men who the Spirit had come upon and gave them tongues to communicate the Gospel to people from various cultures and languages. Peter’s powerful message brought repentance and 3000 were saved that day.
-
Onlookers were amazed at the resting of tongues on the apostles. There supposed them to be drunk in the early part of the day. Peter responded by preaching Jesus to the crowd and 3000 were saved.
-
onlookers said they were drunk but peter responded that they weren’t seeing it was only the third hour of the day and when the onlookers saw it truly was the holy spirit they asked what could they do to receive it
