How a Billion-Dollar Temple System Collapsed in One Week

Описание: Jerusalem, Passover season, 30 AD. The city is five times its normal size, and the air is thick with the smell of incense, sweat, and impending revolution.

While the white marble of Herod’s Temple gleams in the sun, Roman soldiers watch from the Antonia Fortress with hands on their swords. This wasn't just a religious festival; it was a high-stakes collision of global politics, extreme economic extraction, and ancient prophecies. In this deep dive, we use archaeological evidence and historical records to reconstruct the final days before the explosion that changed history.

In this video, we explore:

The Temple Economy: How the "Court of the Gentiles" became a high-priced marketplace that exploited the world's poorest pilgrims.

The Roman Surveillance: Why Pontius Pilate moved his headquarters to Jerusalem and how silver eagles almost sparked a massacre.

The Power Players: The hidden tightrope walked by High Priest Caiaphas between Roman iron and Jewish rebellion.

The Catalyst: Why a teacher from Galilee overturning tables wasn't just a religious act, but a direct threat to the imperial status quo.

This is the story of a city at its breaking point—a moment where the "house of prayer" became a "den of robbers" and set in motion the events that would lead to the destruction of Jerusalem 40 years later.
