yoma 10

the temple has no mezuzah because it was not a permanent residence.
the temple was destroyed by Rome.
it's not a permanent anything....

(but as for Rome, it's not permanent either, the sun will set on the destroyers...)

(this page identifies various nations from biblical characters. and the origin of Persia. who were involved in building the second temple, that was then destroyed by Rome. Also discussed is the Parhedrin Chamber, where the High Priest was sequestered for a week prior to Yom Kippur, whether or not it needed a mezuzah. One opinion is that it didn't, as it was not a permanent residency. This drawing shows the Arch of Titus, built in Rome after the destruction of the temple, looming over it is a giant, another character from this page who was so tall he wore the sun as a necklace. it is a little anachronistic as the giant mentioned in this page is a giant living in the land of Israel before it was conquered.... but every nation rises and falls. No one, even the giants, greatness lasts forever, the sun sets on all)

pesachim 119

two chains - one of wealth, the gold & silver that the nations grab and go to war over.
the other, the cup of blessing that is passed along the line of those who feel unworthy to praise God. Until it comes to David who just praises God anyway.

(2 different chain stories on this page. the first describes how Joseph collected all the world's gold and silver in Egypt, that the children of Israel took with them when they left, that when back to Egypt when the Pharaoh attacked the tribe of Judah under Rehoboam, the wealth then went to Cush, to Aram, back to Israel, to Assyria, back to Judah with King Hezekiyah, then to Babylon, to Persia, to Greece, and eventually ending up in Rome.
contrast with the chain at the end of the page. A cup of wine is passed around, Abraham feels unworthy to bless because his son was Yismael. Isaac won't bless as he fathered Esau, Jacob refuses to bless as he married two sisters, Moses won't bless as he wasn't worthy to enter Israel, Joshua doesn't feel up to it as he didn't have sons. So David takes the cup and praises God... except David wasn't exactly perfect either...)

pesachim 118

the most miraculous, praiseworthy thing God does is provide food for the whole world.

but Rome hoards enough food to feed the whole world - on every one of the 365 floors, that make up every one of the 365 towers, that are in each one of the the 365 markets in Rome.
