Not Allowed To Carry Your Wares Through This Temple

"So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He WOULD NOT ALLOW anyone to carry WARES through the temple. Then He taught, saying to them, 'Is it not written, '''My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'''? But you have made it a 'den of thieves.' ''' And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching. When the evening had come, He went out of the city." (Mark 11:15-19)

wares - merchandise, intellectual accomplishment that is salable.( 2 from WCD)

"Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him. And they said to Him, 'By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do this these things?' But Jesus answered and said to them, 'I will also ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things: The baptism of John--was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me.' And they REASONED AMONG THEMSELVES (in their intellectual accomplishment?), saying, 'If we say, '''From heaven,''' He will say, '''Why then did you not believe him?''' But if we say, 'From men'---they feared the people, for all counted John to have been a prophet indeed. So they answered and said to Jesus, 'We do not know.' And Jesus answered and said to them, ''Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.’ “

(Mark 11:27-33)

These retained their wares in the presence of Jesus Christ who came "from heaven". As a result He would not answer their questions, and spoke to them in parables. (Mark 12:1)

"Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.” (Matthew 13:13)

Dissipation

"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is DISSIPATION; but be filled with the Spirit." (Ephesians 5:15-18)

"After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, 'Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For ALL THE NATIONS have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her(misplacing their affections), and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.' And I heard another voice from heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously (sensually), in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, 'I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow. Therefore her plagues will come in one day-death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire(her works destroyed), for strong is the Lord who judges her.' " (Revelation 18:1-8)

Dissipation is a wasting by misuse: drinking the wine of the wrath of fornication. Fornication could be described as misplacement of intimacy, in this context, with the ways of the world. Double-mindedness. "The wrath of man (fellowship with/in this fornication) does not produce the righteousness of God." (James 1:20) The righteousness of God is found in understanding what the will of the Lord is, walking so by the Spirit of Christ.
