Changes

During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple the lot did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-coloured strap become white, nor did its westernmost lamp shine; and the doors of the sanctuary opened themselves  Then Rabbi Johanan Ben Zakkai rebuked them, saying, ‘Temple, why dost thou grieve so?  I know this about thee, that thou shalt be destroyed.” (Yoma 39b) (cf. Santala, p. 105)

It is remarkable that such dramatic changes in the Temple service mysteriously occurred right around the time of Jesus' crucifixion!

The command to rebuild Jerusalem was decreed by king Artaxerxes in 445 BC (Neh 2:1-8). 69 "weeks" of 7 years later brings us to AD 32.  In that year Jesus the Messiah was crucified ("cut off"). At the same time, the atoning sacrifices in the Temple lost their power, and shortly thereafter (70 AD) the Romans destroyed the city and the Temple.
