The Temple is Cleansed

12And Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those who were selling and buying on the temple grounds, and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. 13And He *said to them, “It is written: ‘MY HOUSE WILL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER’; but you are making it a DEN OF ROBBERS.” Matthew 21:12-13Welcome to the Legion of Michael and thank you for all that you do to support the show.

But you have made it a DEN OF ROBBERS.” 18And the chief priests and the scribes heard this, and they began seeking  how to put Him to death; for they were afraid of Him, because all the crowd was astonished at His teaching.  Mark 11:15-1814And within the temple grounds He found those who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15And He made a whip of [e]cords, and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16and to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away from here; stop making My Father’s house a [f]place of business!” 17His disciples remembered that it was written: “ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME.” John 2:14-17The stories are for those who tell you that Christians must be silent and subservient, they must “turn the over cheek” and allow the world to walk all over them. Warrior’s PrayerLord, I come before you seeking the strength and skill to overcome my enemies.
