When studying about Jesus, the Second Temple Period is important because it gives numerous events of being controlled by government authority and includes five eras of difficulty for the Jewish nation. With that being said, the Christian canon does not document the Second Temple Period as it relates to the description and political aspects of this era but it does give us detail as to the Jews expectations as it relates to messianic prophecies.
