In this 28 minute Bible examination by Mark Horton and members of We Hold These Truths we learn that once the Israelite's' temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD, no mechanism remained for sins to be covered until the blood of Jesus could do away with them for once and all. God's plan was to cleanse all who would believe, by faith, in Jesus, so that they could go directly to Him, not through the intercessory priesthood of the Old Testament, for forgiveness of sins.
