Best Answer

The Temple in Jerusalem had the same importance throughout its existence: to serve God through ritual animal sacrifices. It was also believed at the time that prophesy could occur only with the existence of the Temple.

All animal sacrifices and Jewish prophesy ended in the year 70 CE, when the Temple was destroyed by the Romans.

Answer:The above contains mistakes:

1) Prophecy occurred throughout the Holy Land. That was never disputed.

2) Jewish prophecy ended around 330 BCE.

The Temple was also the most important center of Jewish law, since the highest Torah-court (Sanhedrin) was within its premises.
