Jesus cleansed the temple on two occasions, first near the beginning of His ministry and second near the end of his ministry. Many years earlier, the prophet Daniel had foretold of another time when the temple would be defiled, God's truth would be distorted, and His people oppressed. And once again, the Lord would come to cleanse His sanctuary. This leads to the 70 week and the 2300 day prophecy in Daniel 8 and 9. Why are these prophecies important and how to they relate to the judgment?
