The temple is protested while the table is blessed. During Holy Week, Jesus prophesied the demise of the temple and the rise of the table. Jesus shifts our thinking from temple to table. As Jesus sat at the table with his disciples during the last supper, he told them he would not drink from the fruit of the vine until he drank it with them anew in the coming kingdom of God (see Matthew 26:29, Mark 14:25, Luke 22:18, 28).
