Just like our Saviour, if you dare stand up against this money-changing business, you could be cancelled or may be as good as dead.

According to Jewish temple traditions, Jews were not allowed to give offerings in the temple in Jerusalem using their coins that had the image of Caesar stamped on them. This was deemed idolatrous. Thus, when they arrived at Jerusalem from neighbouring towns to celebrate the Jewish annual festivals, they were mandated by temple officials to change their coins through the money changers who hung around the temple’s premises.
Famed Jewish historians, Flavius Josephus and Herodotus, in their numerous accounts of Jewish history, wrote that Caiaphas, the High Priest, was very corrupt. Aside from plying his trade in the money and animal-changing businesses, he actually became the High Priest under very controversial and dubious circumstances. He was alleged to have bribed his way through the rank and file of the Roman government to clinch the juicy position.
The money-changing business is at the centre of the world’s system. It is a very lucrative business in the world, and now, sadly, in the church. You cannot be part of the real Jesus of the Bible and be a monetiser of His grace and gifts.
