Affected Teaching

Here we have a verse which is a fulfillment of another prophecy. (Jer 7:11 KJV) Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. (Mal 3:1 KJV) Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. The Lord came to the temple and cast out the thieves who were making the temple a business. The verse states that the Lord had cast out those that were selling. These were the ones who would sell the animals for sacrifice. If someone brought their own animal for sacrifice, it would be inspected and then rejected. This would mean the people who brought the animal was forced to buy another one from the temple stock. This was orchestrated by the leaders of the temple and they made great gain on it. Then the other ones who were tossed out were those who bought. This group probably also worked for the leaders in buying animals at a discount for resale to the people at a much higher price. This is just speculation but it would not surprise me if they took the animals from the people and after they sold them another one, would turn around and sell that animal to different people. Thieves are thieves and have all angles worked out for their benefit. A second thought on those that bought, it might be those who were too lazy to bring their own animal and did not care what they sacrificed, so they would buy whatever was available. In other words, they were not concerned about pleasing the Lord only getting it over with. The ones who “bought” have been omitted in the modern versions and we can see they were an integral part of the scam which was going on in the temple. It is important that both groups be mentioned because both are culpable for defiling the temple.
