The Good Zealot and the Money Changers

The Good Zealot and the Money Changers

Parashah Pinchas

Being described as a zealot is not normally a good thing in today’s culture. However, not all zealots are bad. The good zealot is concerned with the relationship between God and His people, and acts out of love to eliminate that which causes separation.

When Yeshua entered the Temple courts just before Passover, he overthrew the tables of the money changers. He rebuked them for their practices which were depriving the people of freely worshiping God in the Temple.
