Religion can be VERY profitable! Turning peoples' quests for God and righteousness into a business is the equivalent of turning 'our Father's house into a marketplace'; the one thing Jesus Himself went OFF on during His ministry.

The previous president has has multiple arraignments, been arrested, has dozens of credible accusers in civil cases, did some crimes on live tv, yet still has fans & is not in jail behind bars when arrested but Jesus did actually nothing wrong & still ended up with the seath penalty..

If you are familiar with the xbox game Justice League, you may notice that the description of the construction in this chapter seems a lot like one of the scenes from that game.

Solomon uses foreign/alien labor to construct the temple

Solomon makes animal sacrifices and gets his wish granted from God?!?

David does something offensive and $70k people die for it, but David superfan sells some prime real estate & quenches the fire.

Prosperity preachers and how they grow their flocks.

Jesus makes it clear that neither God the Father or God the Son will be the One who judges humanity, instead His words will.

In moments of distress it's easy to question Jesus' presence, awareness, and level of concern for what concerns us; those who had the privilege of Jesus' physical presence still found themselves disappointed at times by Jesus' seeming lack of urgency to deal with what they faces.
