What really profaned the Temple in Israel? Was it the physical breaching of its walls? No. God allowed its walls to be breached because Israel through her sin had destroyed the sanctity of her worship and service of God over and over again. She had violated her covenant with God repeatedly, angering and grieving God until finally He gave her over to what she wanted- to abandon Him and worship idols like the nations. What happened at the Capitol building, as in Israel, was merely the physical manifestation of what spiritually has already happened - the death of a people, a nation, a civilization - the giving over by God of a people to their desired judgment and destruction. We, as a people and with our representatives, have destroyed ourselves. We have desecrated ourselves.
