Back to 'The Third Temptation of Christ
6.What was taking place in the Temple, underneath the gable where Jesus had been placed by the devil?
The Mosaic ordinances were being conducted beneath Him in the Temple according to the statutes He Himself—the Lord of Glory—had given Moses on Mount Sinai.
The priests, scribes, and Pharisees were busily engaged in the daily tasks and responsibilities of the service of God in the Temple, while the Lord whom they were supposed to be worshiping sat up on the gable.
