This is the prophetic fulfilment of what Christ did in John 2:2-5.

 Life Application 3:

Christ is God in flesh. One side, he is God full of zeal for his temple, that he could not stop making a scourge to cleanse the temple of GOD.

On the other hand, he is the Lamb of God, who came to shed his blood to cleanse the temple of yours and mine.

Hallelujah! Christ was scourged that our temple be cleansed.

And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

Dear Child of the most high God,
Today you might have defiled your temple with every filth the world can offer. But today is the day. Allow Christ to cleanse your temple. If not, there will be a day when he will come  with the scourge...Yes! There is a day of judgement . your situation will be miserable that day... Don't take the Grace of God for granted.

God bless you.
