>>509144321 (OP)The temple was destroyed because the Jews were still sacrificing animals in it, even though Jesus had died on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice. Therefore, God commanded the Romans to destroy the temple completely, reducing it to dust. There was no longer any need for temple sacrifices, since Jesus had fulfilled that role. This destruction occurred exactly one generation later, in 70 AD, just as Jesusโwho was crucified around 30โ33 ADโ foretold. Why continue sacrificing animals in the temple when God sent His only Son to atone for all sins? His sacrifice made all others unnecessary and void.
