The temple symbolized God's presence among His selected people. In Jewish/nFnu Shah Nihal 22 minutes ago 2. Why was the temple so important for Jews? . The temple was important because Jews believed that the Glory of God was in the Temple as suggested by the Old Testament. Whereas the New Testament suggests that the spirit of God resides within the temple, suggesting the temple's importance among Jews (Hindson & Towns, 2013). The temple symbolizes god among the Jewish people - and it was a place where Jews could repent as well as return to God. Jews consider the temple important because of the prophecy of Ezekiel, which concludes that the Lord will return to his temple and bring glory in the future to dwell among his people furthermore the Lord will return to establish his throne in Jerusalem (Hindson & Towns, 2013). It is a communication medium between the Jews and God, making it important among the Jews. The temple also plays a significant role among Jews because it symbolizes their identity and perseverance, even though the temple has been destroyed many times, it has been resurrected and people have returned to the temple (Hindson & Towns, 2013). The temple is also associated with the reforms brought by Ezra. Ezra had adorned the temple and had repudiated their belief in spirituality. When the temple was restored under Zerubbabel and Jeshua, it was believed to have been restored by God to preserve the Jewish culture and prove the sovereignty of God, which further re- established the "sacrificial system". As Ezra had conveyed to the people it was God who had acted providently for the people so that the temple could be restored and the Jews could return to their land, which made the temple even more important in the Jewish culture (Hindson & Towns, 2013).
