Don't Be Fooled--Jesus' Miracles in Mark Are Not to Show He is the Messiah
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 фев 2023
- Most readers of the New Testament assume that the miracles of Jesus are to convince people that he is the Messiah. Not so in Mark, our earliest gospel! In fact, one could even say if your faith is based on the miracles you will fail to understand Mark's core message--what he calls the Secret of the Kingdom. In this short overview I introduce this issue--which is very thoroughly covered in the on-line Mark course.
Those who sign up for the Mark course are invited to a March 5, 2023, Noon, EST, private Zoom meeting with Q&A and discussion for two hours. Get the course and join us:

Thank you James. I am very grateful for your presentations.
Hi James .. Thank you for your videos 🙏
Tabor may not be the messiah - but he's a great teacher.
All can experience Jesus holy spirit
Last 30 minutes warning it is intense. All old aches and pains will be washed away
It was great Dr Tabor, beautiful to experience 190 all together, live, via the “miracle” of Zoom! I’ve one lecture to go still, it’s all been so eye-opening, and hope another Q&A can go ahead in future by popular demand
I can’t wait for your next course. For many years, I wanted to understand the gospel critically, not theologically, and this course is the lens I was looking for. It helped my think about my faith in Jesus critically and I actually feel more certain what who Jesus was.
The Gospel of Jesus was originally one book, written by Lazarus in consultation with the Apostles [John 21:24] and published soon after Jesus left them on their own. The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives. Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story. It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them Friday 13th.
@@termination9353 Wow, so many conspiracies, so little evidence.
@@jeffreylehman1159 Evidence from the Gospel narrative itself telling you who wrote it, when, and in what manner John 21:24 "This is the disciple[whom Jesus loved/ Lazarus] which testifieth of these things, AND WROTE THESE THINGS: and we[Apostles] know that his testimony is true."
@@termination9353 If all you say is true, what is the end result? What difference does it make, if it does make a difference?
@@grantsmythe8625 "What difference does it make 'Jesus' Miracles in Mark Are Not to Show He is the Messiah', if it does make a difference, THAT 'YOU' COME HERE to review people's comments and make whining criticisms?
I think another reason Mark doesn't get as much attention as Matthew and Luke is that Mark doesn't include conception, birth , or childhood narratives. It _starts_ with Jesus' baptism, giving absolutely no attention to his life _before_ that moment, _and_ it ends with the women running from the tomb in fear...and never telling _anyone_ about the empty tomb. Further evidence that the authors of Matthew and Luke don't _get_ Mark is the fact that their narratives _add_ details seemingly designed to _satisfy the expectation_ of what the Messiah is _supposed_ to be.
I don't know about "never". It says they told no one. How does Mark even know they saw and told no one if they eventually never told anyone?
@@youngknowledgeseeker I was thinking about this recently, and in my years as a martial artist, I've heard many legends about this or that Chinese fighter who defeated some Japanese fighter, only for the Japanese general overseeing the fight to order all witnesses killed, in order to preserve the honor and reputation of Japan. As with your question, I've always thought, "If nobody was left alive to _tell_ the story, how am I _hearing_ it?" Either somebody survived, or the story is...well...propaganda.
I suppose, in the context of Mark, one could interpret/extrapolate that the women told nobody _immediately_ but perhaps _eventually_ mentioned it...maybe after _others_ reported seeing the risen Christ. However, to use a legal objection, this is speculation that assumes facts not in evidence (at least not in Mark, upon which the other Gospels are based). Thus, as with the martial arts legends, I'm left to conclude that the story of the resurrection...along with countless other Bible stories...is not factually accurate.
@@OmniphonProductions Yes, it's an "educated guess", I am inferring it. In fact, all history is inferring.
For anyone reading, also keep in mind, Mark was written to already existing Christian audiences who already believed Jesus was resurrected. So I suggest it is reasonable to infer that he expects the audience to know the women eventually *did* speak up about this. They may not have been the initial ones to tell everyone else, but at some point did if not being the first.
@@youngknowledgeseeker All history in inferring _except_ that which was actually recorded at the time by people who were there...and even that is often shaky at best. Having said that, you make a solid point about writing for an audience that already believes the stories. I would only change one word of your most recent reply. The author of Mark...who was not actually Mark...likely expects the audience to _presume_ the women eventually told others.
Hello. Wish I could join. 🥰I’m with you in spirit I suppose 😁
Great video. Would love to hear more from you about the miracle stories.
As always, thanks for this. I've purchased the course but haven't completed it. I'm fascinated by the miracles in Mark. I've read "The Jesus Dynasty" but it left me wanting more regarding the miracles. When I've completed the course, I'll start buggin' you for a personal zoom meeting.
I am so sorry to have missed the zoom room for the Mark course. I had other obligations (not church! was helping a friend in need) & could not be there. I hope you will hold another session! ❤️ the course.
Thank you
I really enjoy James
All I know about this topic is that Jesus was clear that there was something more important than the miracles and the healings... in Luke 5:17-20 he didn't first cure the man but told him his sins are forgiven. Then verses 21-23 are in line with what I sense in this video.
Another spiritual teacher, said to perform miracles, once said: "I give people what they want to see in order that they may see what I want to give". The message, of course, was vital to convey.
Mark is not only the first "written" Gospel; it is the most literary. Most readers miss that because that because they are expecting something very simple. But that is Peter's language, not Mark's. Mark takes Peter's simply phrased oral Gospel and makes it the core of his written Gospel, except he imposes on Peter's oral Gospel an organization (plot) and his own literary style. That is seen easily in the pericope Tabor mentions: Peter's confession and Jesus' response.
The two are one pericope, as Tabor indicates, but they are not as simple as Tabor suggests. Jesus' reply "Get behind me Satan" is not a rebuke of Peter's confession but a correction. It is a point and counter point literary scheme.
Point: Jesus is Messiah. Counter point: The Son of Man must suffer, be killed and rise again. The counter point is the correction of Peter's incomplete expectation of Messiah.
Peter is not wrong. Mark depicts Jesus as Messiah from beginning to end. But it is a Messiah who came to serve not be served. " For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” That theme is visible everywhere in Mark and is spoken quite explicitly in many places.
But it a mistake to think that service is the only facet of Messiah. Matthew presents Messiah as king. Luke as compassionate Savior. John as Son of God. Those are not contradictory but complementary. Together they present a full picture. I also think it is a mistake to think that Matthew overwrites Mark. There was a lot that Mark (Peter) did not include in his oral Gospel. There were others telling their memories of Jesus. Matthew did not need to depend upon Mark.
Thank you.
Wonderful.
Wow!
This was an amazing talk Dr Tabor, thank you for presenting us with deep insights.
Just finished the course yesterday! How do I sign up for the Zoom-Room?

@@termination9353Some people have nothing to do in life, but waste the time of others. I guess that is their pitiful calling.
@@charlesurdy-barnes413 I haven't wasted your time. You said you wanted to learn. I'm learnin ya.
@Termi Nation Yes but you never, ever, ever, ever give any evidence or proof for your claim and I've seen your comment 1000 times and have even asked for proof from you. You never give any. You only say "I just told you"
@@termination9353 oh dear. That's a lot of nonsense. Have you read any church history or biblical scholarship AT ALL?
What's the difference between God and Paul Reubens? Paul actually revealed himself in public.
Jesus came to show us how to have a personal relationship to the Father. That sinless state prior to the fall. He repeatedly says to go forth and sin no more. To sin is to be separated from God. Jesus didn’t want to be worshipped, he wanted to be emulated.
I would live an episode or more on, how did Jesus do his miracles?
Amen
Ment you will see...
Mark 1:1
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
I am very disappointed 😞 that I will not be able to attend the live session 😢. I have an online conference on March 4th and 5th.
Dont tell anyone is a way to.have everyone know but just you
For the Iesu-Mari.
Think how obvious the accretion to the narrative would be if the NY books were listed chronologically!
Friends in Waco say Howdy ...
Absolutely take the miracles out and believe,in God who is christs father and our father, that what he said ,my father and your father, simple applies to us all.to believe know God is our father ,the rest is the gospel writers getting a bit carried away.
"I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see". The lyrics contain the metaphorical language - for us to be transformed, "reborn", so to speak, illuminated, enlightened, to become like him. Since I don't have access to your course, I don't really know what you mean by the miracles (that is, IF they were literally miracles) not being intended to prove Jesus was the messiah. Perhaps Jesus was merely showing compassion for suffering folks? They may also have just been useful for getting people to take him seriously. "Now that I've got your attention ...."
♥️✝️♥️
The Beloved Disciple who wrote the fourth gospel mentions some of the miracles Jesus performed. He did it so that the reader would believe.
“Signs” are for the messiah, not the masses. Imagine how much of a mind bender it would be for a sane person to accept the possibility that they are the messiah.
That's a really interesting thought.
Have you considered Samuel and the elders when it stormed after they asked for a king?
Did they not receive a sign showing displeasure over them asking for a messianic/anointed king when Yah was their king?
Jesus/יהושע tried to get them to turn back to their king. He succeeded with me.
Interestingly enough it's because of listening to Jesus/יהושע that I became aware of the false doctrines I inherited claiming he was a deity.
@@altonlg24 Jesus was announced as king of Israel in that choice between Jesus and Barabbas. Quickly said, Pilot dressed Jesus up as King, Pilot presented Jesus to the Sanhedrin and high priest among the crowd as "their King". Told the crowd to choose to crucify "their King" or Barabbas. The Saducees and High Priest chose "their king" Jesus to be crucified and instigated the Jewish crowd to choose "their King" to be crucified..... and so the Priesthood anointed Jesus as their king in order for him to be executed. And Pilat published this fact above Jesus head at a time when Jerusalem was most crowded of Jews from all over the realm.
What this accomplished was to legalize according to Torah law Jesus' amended covenant and make irrelevant all burdensome Talmudic rules.
I think Jesus and Pilat planned it together. Neet trick on the Sanhedrin huh.
@@termination9353 how would have that amended and changed the covenant in this setting? Were they using a covenant different from the one found in exodus and deuteronomy at that time?
@@Trainwhrek By the fact that according to the Old Test a Davidic King has the authority to rule over the Covenant. Thing is the public has to know who the Davidic King IS in order to know who's "hallachic" rulings are to be followed. Hence the whole trial and crucifixion ordeal. - The original covenant had been espionage infiltrated with imposters and criminal burdensome rulings - like sentencing a member of God's beloved royal family to death. -Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: -Jeremiah 31:31
A person realizes he's the Messiah the same moment he realizes he's the only sane person left standing.
Get yr free all old aches and pains washed away. Last 30 min is intense. A gift from Jesus for all.
Mark and the Fourth gospel (called 'according to John') are the ones worth bothering with. Luke has the Martha / Mary pericopes, and Q is evident in all four, but you want the roots, go to Mark and the oldest strata in John. And THOMAS
Shit, I just figured that the gospel of Mark actually painted Jesus as a proto gnostic/mandeans lord of light type person.
Peter does get it who do you say iam. Peter says the son of the living god
Jesus surfing
Miracles alone never proved anything. Many had performed miracles before Jesus. Even resurrections.
But the rabbis were asking for a "sign".
@@termination9353 :Matthew 12:38 Then as an answer to him, some of the scribes and the Pharisees said: “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” 39 In reply he said to them: “A wicked and adulterous generation keeps on seeking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Joʹnah the prophet. 40 For just as Joʹnah was in the belly of the huge fish for three days and three nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
Jesus made clear that the Jewish Religious leaders were determined to not accept him as the Messiah although they knew quite well he was. (Same story today).
Luke 16:31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.’”
The miracles Jesus did was a prototype of what he will accomplish for all obedient humans under his rulership (cf Revelation 21:3,4).
The nation of Israel who left Egypt were witnesses to God' power and miracles.
Wasn't long before they had forgotten all that.
We follow two commands thar Jesus gave us is to Love Our Heavenly Father with our whole heart and mind and to Love Others as we Love Ourselves. If all followed these two Commandments this life on this earth would be Better.❤❤😂😊❤❤
What about people who hate themselves?
@@frankgraham1996 Those who hate themselves have often lacked love from others. In Shirley's recommendation, above, if everyone was to show each other love, the one who hates him/herself would come to love themselves and thus be able to love others in the same way.
@@pds002 Jesus drove the money changers out of the temple because they were EVIL and despicable in the eyes of God. He did not tell them that what you do is acceptable because I love you as I do all sinners. So too must we who walk in the light fight a never ending battle for truth, God's justice, and the way of our lord and savior. There is true EVIL in this world that is real and cannot be loved.
That may have been the intent, but it backfired all to hell.
Thank you! I find it amazing about the true sign being the resurrection,as Satan will use this sign to reveal the antichrist in the end. Rev. 13: 2-4 Jesus warned about the false signs and wonders, because that will be the main reason that people will worship the antichrist! Rev. 13: 11- 14. Also 2 Thessalonians 2: 3-12, Matthew 24: 24+25, and Rev. 19: 20.

Were his miracles “sarcastic” wit?
3:45 Dr. Dennis MacDonald's book on mimesis with Homer's epics and the gospels points that the calming of the wind and sea that Jesus does is superior to the storm in the Odyssey as Odysseus claims he can calm the sea but not the wind as he is only a son of Poseidon.
I thought this would be interesting to show that Jesus is being portrayed as a superior demigod/son of a god by Mark.
Perhaps the messianic secret has something to do with the ancient idea that someone who knows your true identity can have power over you?
There are supposed to be two Messiah's a king with a priest at his side. The king from the Davidic line & the priest from the line of Aaron.
Heresy! Heresy did not start today.
Don't blame it on Greeks
;))
Mark is Pauling - look at the conclusion - how to know who believes - miracles, etc.
Matthew - learn the will of God and repent to do it. Observe and do the will of the Father.
7:30 This reminded me of the Christians saying to the muslims "Your prophet didn't perform any miracle"
As if a text saying something happened was evidence of something.
Personally, i believe based on what the text says, it says the truth overall, so it's "trustworthy"
It's like if you have a sincere man you got to know well, and he has always told the truth, and then he tells you something you can't fact check there, you know he hasn't lied before, so why would he do now?
And certainty is emotional, only God knows for sure.
I believe anyways, altough i don't claim to be self sufficient at all, but i do believe in this even before i was told, it has been but a reminder...
If you believe your origin is the nothing, then honestly you are blind, and we all have been there, this society pushes that agenda since we are kids...
But common sense tells us there is a greater power, a higher power, beyond.
Something perfect out there, a constant which does not change its ways...
And there is "being" there.
So if i see it written, i believe it, because i already did in a way.
I don't need any supernatural phenomena...
We live in a world of magic in the correct sense of the word, illusionism, this you are watching is that, 3D graphics is a way of magic, even if it sounds funny...
We like in the time of holograms, at least getting to it, and of VR, so why should anyone trust a miracle?
I'm sure even d3mons, or aliens as people call them now, can do "miracles".
No, God is self evident.
I believe we got a compass inside.
I didn't believe this before, but after the reminder i do, i remembered this which i had forgotten.
I advice you to check the work of Sam Gerrans, i think it's quite excellent.
Because the sects do not do a favour to the scriptures... in fact many misguide from the path of God...
And again, this "there shall not be any sign given" in Mark, exposes the idea of the crucifixion being an important thing where you must believe Jesus died... not at all.
He seemed to the people like that.
When you read the gospels, it seems as if he died...
Think about it.
This idea of the sings, and Jesus hiding them also reminds me of this:
ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَآ أَلَّا نُؤْمِنَ لِرَسُولٍ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَنَا بِقُرْبَانٍ تَأْكُلُهُ ٱلنَّارُ قُلْ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّن قَبْلِى بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَبِٱلَّذِى قُلْتُمْ فَلِمَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
Those who said: “God has made a covenant with us, that we believe not any messenger until he brings us an offering consumed by fire.” Say thou: “There came to you messengers before me with clear signs, and with what you say; why then did you kill them, if you be truthful?”
(3:183)
God punishes the ungrateful.
Why give them more signs? If they are gonna reject and transgress, anyway.
It's perhaps out of the mercy of God that he does not give them signs, since if he does and they reject, they will be held accountable harder...
Jesus affirmed Peter's statement that he is the Messiah clearly BUT he did not affirm Peter's view as to what the Messiah meant. That's what the disciples and the Jews got wrong, I.e. their concept of Messiah.
His messed up understanding is his own non Believer Perspective. All the people who don't believe believe that jesus is not the christ . Christ is King of kings
jesus of the christ ,The rock the bread of life the beginning and the end the alpha and the omega Jesus describes himself as the messiah and in the old testimate he is Everywhere everywhere Everywhere.

It would be pointless and stupid to literally walk on water and to document it
This is why they are allegorical
For instance the ocean represents the subconscious so to write about the ocean means they are referring to the subconscious not the literal ocean.
I noticed that Mark closes with a couple of people who, also, seem instructed not to speak of their experience. If I were Sherlock Holmes with my magnifier, I would insist that Jesus had his fingerprints on this also.
The women are not instructed not to tell anyone?
Mark 16:7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galʹi·lee. You will see him there, just as he told you.’” 8 So when they came out, they fled from the tomb, trembling and overwhelmed with emotion. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were in fear.
The instructions to the women was to speak. But fear prevented them. Of course when the fear had abated they would have followed the instructions.
@@tongakhan230 and yet everyone found out. So they kept quiet but only for a very short while before they spread the gospel -- probably following the instructions.

What about that Webinar you promised? I have been watching all your announcements and never saw an announcement about your Webinar. I will never waste my money again with you guys.
The Spirit of YHWH informed me to only believe the Gospels of John and Luke. It also informed me again that Matthew was written by a Rector. I had to look this word up. So at some time it was an adulterated work by someone who thought they new better or wanted to put across a Christian political narrative. Have had no mention on why not to trust the Gospel of Mark. To my understanding the Gospel of John is literally the Gospel of Christ. He is the Witness of Christ in the flesh Son of Man with the seven spirits of the Father Not the Holy Spirit alone but Spirit of Truth, Healing etc. as in Revelations. On the other hand Luke is also a witness but what i believe Christians don't get is, "What is he witness too?" They believe he supports Paul/Saul but on the contrary he witnesses the macabre behaviour of Paul in the Street, for example his disdain for people in the Holy Ghost (YHWH) warning him not to do certain things, shaving his head and continually showing Paul/Saul's own witness to himself in a contradictory lie. Why would Roman soldiers afraid to have injured a Roman citizen send him into the Jewish Priests and allow them to strike. attempt to strike him. So if John is the Witness for Christ is Luke Witness to the Antichrist. A lot of Paul's letters defamation against Peter and paranoia about people following him to undo his work, his humility (nothing in line with an anointed). Nothing to counter any of his allegations. All the time no accepted or remaining letters from the Twelve apostles (Jesus anointed them in the Way as he was in the I am the Way of the Father, they're not Christian). Could it even be they who were undoing his work. Satan tempted Jesus in the desert and said he had authority to give to who at another time. Jesus warned of someone that will follow. Basically should Gentiles be curcumsised and how much Greek philosophy paganism did Paul use in his writings to convert Greeks to worship his new Jesus Christ against all that Jesus said to Satan in the desert.
Not to show he was the Messiah, but if he does miracles and also says keep the decalogue and teaches Torah, then you are to listen to him.
Deuteronomy 13:1-18 (KJV) If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proves you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;
Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
These represent the resurrection in Isaiah 40:3 - A worm attacks the gourd plant. I am a worm and not a man, Ps 22:7. The sun beats down on his head. Thus begins the way of the Lord in the desert. like a shoot from the parched (barren, dry, desert) earth (Isa 53:2 NABO)
These represent the sacrifice, day of the Lord, wrath of the lamb, day of vengeance AS judgment, being 'made to be sin' for which comes the need for the way of the Lord in the desert.
There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished! "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! (Luk 12:49-50 NABO)
For by my wrath a fire is enkindled that shall rage to the depths of the nether world, Consuming the earth with its yield, and licking with flames the roots of the mountains. (Deu 32:22 NABO)
Down I went to the roots of the mountains; the bars of the nether world were closing behind me forever (Jon 2:7 NABO)
Who will go down into the netherworld (abyss)?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)." (Rom 10:7 NABO)
Ment He will be our God.
too much talk at the beginning.
None of this has been forgotten actual believing biblical scholars know these things and more
There will be no sign given except for the sign of Jonah. So we believe Mark but not Matthew. OK got that.
John the Baptist when in prison, inquired of Jesus are you he who is to come, or do we seek another (paraphrased). Jesus' answer? “Go back to John and tell him what you have seen and heard-the blind see, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor.”
The Jewish religious leaders wanted a sign not to convince themselves but to test him.
There were plenty of signs being witnessed.
Jesus knew their hearts were stubborn (cf Luke 16:31).
What Jesus instructed for John the Baptizer was for a different purpose. John was the Elijah promised who would pave the way for the Messiah.
If one reads John's words, it will be clear.
If you don't understand Isaiah 62:2, Isaiah 40:3, and Phillipians 2:9-10, Rev. 3-12 you will never understand who the true messiah was and it wasn't a second prophet after. John the Baptizer. The greatest to EVER live. He wasJohn the Revelator as well. Revelation 1.
I agree with James. The Gospel of Mark doesn't try to show Jesus is the Messiah. I think it serves to show Jesus as YHWH. For example, Psalm 107 says that YHWH calls the storms with his voice and Job 9:8 say that YHWH walks upon the waters. Powerful stuff. I think Mark jumps over the entire Messiah issue and goes straight to YHWH is with us.

Honestly, the whole Bible shows that Yashua is YHWH.
how then are we to understand Luke 7 "When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached."

*"Neither the evangelists nor their first readers engaged in historical analysis. Their aim was to confirm Christian faith (Lk. 1.4; Jn. 20.31).

Unfortunately, much of the general public is not familiar with scholarly resources like the one quoted above; instead, Christian apologists often put out a lot of material, such as The Case For Christ, targeted toward lay audiences, who are not familiar with scholarly methods, in order to argue that the Gospels are the eyewitness testimonies of either Jesus’ disciples or their attendants. *The mainstream scholarly view is that the Gospels are anonymous works, written in a different language than that of Jesus, in distant lands, after a substantial gap of time, by unknown persons, compiling, redacting, and inventing various traditions, in order to provide a narrative of Christianity’s central figure-Jesus Christ-to confirm the faith of their communities."*

The miracles in the Bible are metaphors for illumination, the pineal gland and becoming one with God. The wedding , Lazerous, many many more. The baptism by John especially describes it perfect. When you understand that is what they are describing you see it everywhere even the age 33 .
Reading the Bible should make the reader a master of discernment between Good and Evil.
Unfortunately most readers can't tell the difference between Genesis 1 God and Genesis 2 Devil.
Try using the NOG translation. It's important to read the Bible with the Names of God unaltered/unchanged.

The standard model of physics is Einstein's 3+1 space-time, which are considered locally real, where 0 is considered not locally real...been that way since Newton for zero vs nonzero numbers.

[Layman's terminology of locally real vs not locally real]:
locally real = more real (Leibniz said "necessary")
not locally real = less real (Leibniz said "contingent")

I love so much of what you do James, but I think you miss the humanity and simpleness of the disciples of Jesus, and the confusion they faced with trying to understand who Jesus was, especially when Jesus instructed his disciples not to tell others that he is the promised anointed one of YHVH. There is also a danger of viewing Mark in isolation and adhering to the view it is the earliest text, and claiming that Matthew and Luke copied it. Please note, I am acutely aware of the scholarly arguments in favour of this view but I personally don’t agree with it. Few people mention that the MSS evidence for Mark is the weakest of all 4 gospels which is strange considering it is meant to be the earliest.
More broadly, the NT testifies that Jesus is the prophet like Moses, starting first with Philip, then Jesus himself, then Peter, Stephen and Paul, and I believe Jesus again in the book of Rev when he is described as having a sword in his mouth ie the word of God. The unique thing about the prophecy in deut 18:15-18 is that it gives us an objective series of metrics to judge if someone is the prophet like Moses. Moses did many great miracles. Moses had an extraordinary relationship with YHVH. Moses was an Israelite etc. I won’t go through all the attributes one would have to display before one could be considered to be in the class of ‘a prophet like Moses’ . Simply displaying one or two attributes does not in my humble opinion qualify anyone to claim that title. Finally, the critical distinction between Moses and the prophet that god almighty would raise up is not that this prophet would also do great miracles like Moses, set his people free, but this prophet would have the word of God infused in his being in a way no human had previously experienced. The miracles are an important part to this claim by Jesus, not directly to bring the anointed one in detail but rather in bring the prophet like Moses, who was it transpires also the one YHVH would call his anointed son.
I'd say he was calling Satan Satan, because who would want for Peter to try preventing the sacrifice?
The Idea of there being one "Satan" is an incorrect assumption by most people who read the Bible. The word "saw tawn" the pronunciation of the Hebrews for what is translated as "Satan" simply means, opponent, adversary, or enemy. In the English translations it was capitalized as if it were a name, but really it is a descriptor of the personality and its properties in relation to in this case Jesus. In an example of this today we would refer to a competitive nation opposing our nation as "the enemy."
As far as I can see, the word first appears in the Hebrew text we call the Bible in I Chronicles 21:1. When David is convinced, he should count or number the people of Israel in direct opposition to God's command in Leviticus.
When Jesus says this to Peter, He is not calling Peter "the Devil," He is saying Peter's expression of his feelings on the matter are opposed to the will of the Father, and the path set by the Father for Jesus to walk out.
The Apostle Paul speaks of this very thing in depth when He states the "carnal" man is "enmity" against the Father and speaks about the "crucifixion" of our fleshly or human oriented thinking. Instead, Paul exhorts us to live by faith and "walk in the Spirit of God," being transformed into the "mind of Christ." In another place He says to be imitators of God as His dear children.
Something interesting that I came across in a conversation with someone involved in the occult. They laughed at the idea of the existence of a spirit named "Satan." They emphatically stated that there are many spirits with many names but no Satan. In fact, all who are in opposition to the person of the Creator Father and His Son are satan, (opponents, adversaries or enemies) whether they be flesh or spirit.
@@edwarnock9884 Oh, I don't assume that it is a singular being, but rather it's the collective gathered under one banner.
And it was a notion. I wasn't saying he was calling Peter that, but rather it was that he was being adversarial to the work of God. I've known that it just means adversary or opponent. That instance struck me as one where there could be a double-meaning, not a contradictory one, but rather that by saying he would die in order to keep Yahusha from death it essentially played into the grander idea of 'Satan'.
@@edwarnock9884 Even 'devil' just means 'traducer, slanderer, violator'. I view it as being the oppositional body to the Body though, the body of antichrist and the collective of spirits that animate it. If there's a body collectively known as 'satan', then it has a head as well, or multiple for that matter.
Antipas, whose name means 'against father', was martyred in Lyon-Geneva. Revelation says that's where the Satan, HaYalal the Wailing Howler (or Halal in the negative: Insane Prideful Braggart; Yahusha is the Phosphoros, 2 Peter 1:19) and king of Babylon (confusion by mixture), in the sense of the primordial serpent and that being which was once a covering cherub, rules from.

Quickly said, Pilot dressed Jesus up as King, Pilot presented Jesus to the Sanhedrin and high priest among the crowd as "their King". Told the crowd to choose to crucify "their King" or Barabbas. The Saducees and High Priest chose "their king" Jesus to be crucified and instigated the Jewish crowd to choose "their King" to be crucified..... and so the Priesthood anointed Jesus as their king in order for him to be executed. And Pilat published this fact above Jesus head at a time when Jerusalem was most crowded of Jews from all over the realm.

The sign of Jonah is misrepresented. The sign of Jonah was repent or go to destruction as a nation. Difference is Nineveh did repent largely due to Amos’ oracle of the earthquake of 760 B.C. Whereas Judea killed him instead. Jonah warned in 40 yoms (can mean days or years) Nineveh would be wiped out. 40 years after Christ ministered the Romans obliterated Jerusalem. The whole seas creature and Jonah are a misrepresentation. See John the Baptist. He too cried out for the people to repent. Think about this 😮
And the Pharisees along with the
Sadducees came forth and began to question
with him, desiring him that he would shew
them a sign, tempting him, saying, Master, we
would see a sign from heaven. And Jesus
sighed deeply in his spirit and saith, Why doth
this generation seek after a sign?
And he answering them saith, When it
is evening ye say, It will be fair weather: for
the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be
foul weather to day: for the sky is red and
lowering.
And he said also to the people, When
ye see a cloud rise out of the west,
straightway ye say, There cometh a shower;
and so it is. And when ye see the south wind
blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it
cometh to pass.
O Ye hypocrites can discern the face
of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that
ye do not discern the signs of this time?
And when the people were gathered
thick together, he began to say, A wicked and
adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and
there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of
Jonas the prophet. For as Jonas was a sign
unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of
man be to this generation.
The queen of the south shall rise up in
the judgment with the men of this generation
and condemn them: for she came from the
utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom
of Solomon; and behold, a greater than
Solomon is here.
The men of Nineve shall rise up in the
judgment with this generation and shall
condemn it: for they repented at the preaching
of Jonas; and behold, a greater than Jonas is
here.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of
a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking
rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return
unto my house whence I came out. And when
he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and
garnished Then goeth he and taketh with himself
seven other spirits more wicked than himself,
and they enter in and dwell there: and the last
state of that man is worse than the first. Even
so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
For as Jonas was three days and three
nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of
man be three days and three nights in the
heart of the earth
