Jesus was angered by religious people inappropriately taking people`s money (robber`s den). Why did Jesus take such dramatic action and not just condemn with words?

He had the Power and Authority, besides, these were religious leaders who knew the laws and the prophets very well. Jesus also did this just one day after the triumphant entry into Jerusalem, so he had the support of the masses who looked unto him as the King of the Jews to be. It was also in Jerusalem, that he would conclude his earthly ministry, and in the temple, so he needed to clear it firmly, to set the stage for the last onslaught against hypocrisy of the jews.

The common people are praising Jesus, expecting him to become Israel`s next king. Jesus knew they would turn against him a few days later when he disappointed their expectation. Do you have expections of Jesus which he did not promise?

Yes, but I have also learnt alot over the times. Eg, He will grant us the desires of our heart, IF ONLY we ask ACCORDING TO HIS WILL. He promised never to lose anyone the father gave to him, yet I discovered that he does not force us to obey him, and we can actually get him OFF us. Jesus himself prayed against THE CUP OF DEATH, yet he said, let it be not according to his will, but according to the Father's will. Elijah thought he was the only prophet of Jehovah left, only to discover how ignorant he was, since there were seven thousand others. I do believe I have prayed for many things in life, but sometimes now I see that they were selfish, and would have gotten worse if God had granted them. I have also prayed against so many things, for myself, family and country, but now I see that they were only from my human point of view. My conclusion is that claiming our promises from God should be according to his will.

What did the blind man acknowledge about Jesus by calling him the "Son of David."? Note: David was a great king of Israel. The "Messiah" was predicted to be a direct descendent of David, as Jesus was.

He acknowledged that Jesus was the promised Messianic King, of the line of King David. That Jesus was the deliverer.
