Let us not become people like these high priests and elders of the people while attending church. This can happen in an instant.
Perhaps, at the beginning of their service in the temple, they might have had the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and faith in God. However, when they fail to guard such a heart, they align with people, power, and money.
When Jesus comes again, He will overturn God's church. Before that, let us prepare well in faith. When the whole world unites to tear down and destroy the church, let us become holy people of God and protect the church. Let us be prepared to die and hold onto our faith even in the face of death.
The reason for establishing this church is precisely this - let no one fall into temptation and turn evil. Let us live by faith in this given time, no matter what.
