Best Answer
A:Many Christians believe that at the very moment Jesus died, the veil, or curtain, at the entrance to the Holy of Holies was rent from top to bottom (Mark 15:38).

Some who read The Bible carefully are aware that the followers of Jesus could not have seen the curtain in order to know this, and anyone who could see the curtains would have been unaware of Jesus' death far off, outside the city walls. Christians who study theology may be aware that the Jewish historian, Josephus, who would have been familiar with the Temple veil before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, describes the curtain and its images and colours in considerable detail (Wars of the Jews, Book 5), but makes no mention of any damage to it, or any repairs.

Did Jesus Christ consider King Herod's Temple holy?

The temple that was when Jesus was alive had been around since the return of the jews to jerusalem after the captivity. Herod only improved the physical parts of the temple. God was still considered to have a presence in the Holy of Holies and was worshiped at the temple and so yes Jesus considered the temple to be holy in that sense.

Did Jews repair the temple veil after Jesus death?

The Jews seem to have been unaware that the Temple veil was torn at the time of Jesus' death. They made no record of this happening, nor of it being repaired, yet such a momentous event would surely have been mentioned somewhere, if only in correspondence. When Josephus, formerly a priest in the Jerusalem Temple, described the veil, he makes no mention of any visible damage or repair.Some scholars even doubt whether any of Jesus' followers would have been able to see the curtain.


Why did Jesus have two trials?

He was first tried by the Parishes, (Jews who ran the Holy Temple). The Jews found Jesus (a Jew) guilty of blasphemy (of calling Himself the Son of God). Since the Jews did have the power to execute a blasphemer (being controlled by the Romans), they sent Him to Pointus Pilot (a Roman govenor) who found Jesus guilty of calling Himself a king and had Jesus crucified. There had to be two trials. One for the Jewish leaders and one for the leader of the Romans who occupied Israel.


Who allowed Jesus to return from exile and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem?

This did not happen. The Second Temple stood while Jesus was alive and remained standing for four decades after Jesus was killed by the Romans. The Third Temple has not been built.Jesus was never in exile, didn't return from one, and was never involved in any way in rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem. Jesus came to earth approximately 536 years after the return of the Jews to rebuild the temple.An observation:Just in case the question meant to read "Jews" instead of "Jesus" (which would then completely make sense), the answer would be King Cyrus of Persia (Ezra 5:13). Zerrubabel led the Jews, along with Ezra and Nehemiah in the rebuilding of the Temple.
