I don't see anything in Matthew up to this point that would indicate Jesus would do this. Perhaps John the Baptist in Matt. 3:9-10 "Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees."
Why would Jesus' disciples think he might do this? Was there a prevailing theory in 1st century Judaism that the Messiah would do away with the foundation and establish a completely new religion?
