The First and Second Temples

Question

What things were in the First Temple but not in the Second temple?

Answer

The Talmud (Yoma 21b) lists five things that were lacking in the Second Temple: the fire that came down from heaven, the Ark, the Urim ve-Tumim, the oil for anointing, and the Divine Spirit. The stone that took the place of the Ark was called the Even Shesiah, which can be translated as “foundation stone”.
