War in the Temple

I suppose things have always been this way, but when I ponder the divisiveness within the professing-church I am reminded of Josephus’s account of the siege of Jerusalem – even though a Roman army had encircled the city, even though there was famine within the city – Jewish religious factions were fighting each other – literally fighting each other, people were dying – within the Temple precincts.  

I wonder if we can learn anything from this.
