Bible Question:
A friend said he saw a show on TBN where a guy was analyzing the construction of the Temple, I think it was the Holy of Holies. The guest on the show was a scientist and said that the metals used in construction when brought together would produce electrical shock, enough to kill the man if he was not following instructions exactly. Did anyone see this show? Has anyone heard of this? |
Bible Answer: I don't watch that network. They may have been referring to the history in which the Sadducees were appointed as high priests during the second temple period. The Sadducees were more political than religious. So when they would go into the Holy of Holies on the day of Atonement, being impure, they would be struck dead by God. So, the Pharisees, who supervised them, eventually required them to wear a bell around their neck and a rope around their ankle so that if they were struck dead they could pull them out of the Holy of Holies without getting killed themselves. |
