The Temple Treasury - A Safety Net for People in Trouble
The idea in the temple treasury, going way back in the life of jesus people, was that there was a way a safety net for people who were in trouble. By the way, central to jesus world was an understanding that you have to have a safety net, or people will start falling through the cracks and then gradually the whole thing will begin to collapse. So frondemine was telling me that on the south side of the city of jerusalem, they have excavated bottles of wine that would be the equivalent of a five thousand dollar bottle of wine. Like, massive, massive wealth. There are no tangents ultimately.
