There have been two eras in the history of the Jews in Israel that centered around the physical Temple in Jerusalem.
- The first ended with the destruction of the first temple by the Babylonians, in 586 BCE.
- The second ended with the destruction of the second temple by the Romans, in 70 AD.
21st Century Jews, with a sense of history, look forward to a renewed national and spiritual identity centered around a third temple in Jerusalem either physical or spiritual, depending on the Jewish denomination.

One of these may have been the onager, though this is questionable as it might not yet have been invented by the time of the Second Temple's destruction in 70 CE (AD). They would almost certainly have used battering rams, in those times of the most effective methods of demolition. Another common method of bringing down walls was to dig hollows shored up by wooden posts, similar to those used in mines, under weak spots such as corners. The posts would then be burned, causing the wall to lose its support and collapse.
