   *MARK - OVERVIEW - T0701R*

*THE GOSPEL OF SERVICE AND ORDER*


 *1. 1:3, 8 (1:1-8) JOHN BAPTIZER INTRODUCES JESUS. "A voice of one crying
in the wilderness, Make you ready the way of the Lord, Make his :paths
straight; ... 8 I baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you
with theHoly Spirit."
*Father, we find here Your Kingdom and rule in Jesus, Jehovah our Savior.
You have given Him Your Name and all the fullness of the Godhead bodily
dwells in Him.* Hallowed be your :name.*


 *2. 2:10-11 (1:9-3:35) THE GOSPEL OF POWER AND JESUS. "And straightway
coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens being rent, and the Spirit as
a dove descending upon him: 11 and a voice came out of the heavens, You are
my :beloved :son, in you I am well pleased." *Your will Father, is that we
might believe and obey Your Son! *Your :kingdom come.*


 *3. 4:13 (4:1-6:29) KINGDOM TEACHING OF JESUS. "And he says to them, Know
you not this :parable? and how shall you know all the parables?" *Father, we
receive the Kingdom teaching of Jesus through parable. We bless You for Your
Holy Spirit and His enlightenment. *Your :will be done, As in heaven, so on
earth.*


 *4. 6:45-46 (6:30-10:31) COST OF THE KINGDOM AND JESUS. "And straightway he
constrained his :disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto
the other side unto Bethsaida, while he himself sends the crowd away. 46 And
after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to
pray." *Thank
You Father, for Your Son of *prayer*. It led to His atonement and all
forthcoming blessings. *Our :daily :bread Give us this day.*


 *5. 12:36-37 (10:32-13:37) TEACHING PRECEDING BETRAYAL OF JESUS. "David
himself said in the Holy :Spirit, The Lord said unto my :Lord, Sit you on my
right, Till I put your :enemies underneath your :feet. 37 David himself
calls him Lord: and whence is he his son?" *Lord Jesus, David's greater son,
and only begotten of the Father, we bless You. Father, we see You in Your
Son! *And forgive us our :debts, As we also have forgiven our :debtors.*


 *6. 15:37-38 (14:1-16:8) CRUCIFIXION AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS. "And :Jesus
uttered a loud voice, and expired. 38 And the veil of the sanctuary was rent
in two from top to bottom." *We are in Your presence Father, through the
riven veil. You, the Greater One, are also in us!

*And bring us not into temptation.*


 *7. 16:15-16 (16:9-20) GREAT COMMISSION: GIVEN BY JESUS. "And he said to
them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16
Who has believed and is baptized shall be saved; but who has disbelieved
shall be condemned." *Father, the day comes when Your Son will turn all
things back to You. *But deliver us from the evil one.*



 *NOTE:** *Mark is the shortest of the 4 Gospels. It epitomizes Jesus as the
"ox", representing one of the four heads of the four creatures at the
beginning of Ezekiel chapter 1. It shows forth Jesus in His servant spirit.
Issachar is the tribe of Israel represented by the donkey, a faithful and
valued animal in the Middle East - wise and sure-footed in the dark.
Faithfulness, sensitivity and obedience are attributes of the First Nations
People, who relate to Issachar. All 12 tribes and all 12 related peoples are
necessary for the fulfillment of God's purposes. Remember Judges 19-21.


 Jesus divides up His 12 major attributes among the 12 tribes and the 12
apostles, but especially the 4 major heads of Ezekiel and the 4 Gospels:
Matthew the lion; Mark the ox; Luke the man; and John the eagle.


 Matthew is designed to reach the Jews; Mark the Romans; Luke the Greeks;
and John all spiritually inclined souls who truly seek, hunger and thirst
after God. Like David, they want to be people after God's own heart, and to
have intimacy with Him.


 The word "immediate" or "straightway" are key words in Mark's gospel. Mark
is often the Gospel chosen in Bible Colleges and seminaries to study
intensively, possibly because it is the shortest of the four gospels.


 Mark 16:9-20 is perhaps the most controversial portion of the New Testament
for Textual critics. However, Dr. Ivan Panin through Bible Numerics has
proven that if any portion of Scriptures must be retained as part of the
Bible, this stands out above all others! It seems that Satan has a special
vendetta to have this portion omitted.


 Mr. Tasker, a missionary from India, brought forth Mark 4:13 in 1946 at the
University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon to some 100 members of the
Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. According to this verse, he set forth
this parable as the *key* parable. To understand it is to have the *key* to
understand all other parables. I believe it. Jim Watt
