who built the second temple in the bible as governor originally?
jewish exile groups
the second temple was originally a rather modest structure constructed by a number of jewish exile groups returning to the levant from babylon under the achaemenid-appointed governor zerubbabel. however, during the reign of herod the great, the second temple was completely refurbished, and the original structure was totally overhauled into the large and magnificent edifices and facades that are more recognizable. much as the babylonians destroyed the first temple, the romans destroyed the second temple and jerusalem in 70 ce as retaliation for an ongoing jewish revolt. the second temple lasted for a total of 585 years. (516 bc to 70 ce)

second temple judaism









































second temple judaism is judaism between the construction of the second temple in jerusalem, c. 515 bce, and its destruction by the romans in 70 ce. the development of the hebrew bible canon, the synagogue, jewish apocalyptic expectations for the future, and the rise of christianity, can all be traced to the second temple period.
