NO IC IN 1ST CENTURY DUE TO GOSPEL PRIORITY AMIDST PERSECUTION

Just like in Moses' days when he was leading the Israelis in the wilderness, a tent of meeting was used (and later Tabernacle) to enquire anything from the Lord. Only when the Israelis were more settled down did they build the Temple in Solomon's days.
Please note the details given in the OT for building the Tabernacle and especially the Temple. And later Jesus was angry over the commercial activities outside the Temple which should be a place for worship and prayer according to Him. If the Jews could worship God just like in Abraham's days (building an altar anywhere), why was the Temple endorsed by Christ ?
So could it be that there was more pressing priority to spread the Gospel amidst persecution than to worry about IC then ?
