Sons of the Mountain (Mark 3:13-15)

Earlier in this Mark commentary we discussed the Pharisees and Herodians in a presentation titled, Sons of Herod, and we explored how many Christians today are themselves unknowingly both Pharisees and Herodians in their doctrine and worship of government.

Plastering the Bruises (Mark 1:29-39)

In our previous presentation concerning the possessed man in the Capernaum assembly hall, we discussed how the origin of unclean spirits both embodied and disembodied is tied to the fallen angels throughout Scripture, whose fornication is described in Genesis and 1 Enoch.

Perturbing the Devils (Mark 1:21-28)

In our previous presentation we read Mark’s succinct account of the forty days in the wilderness, using it as an opportunity to identify the Adversary who tried Christ, and following an examination of the evidence, we came to the conclusion that they were an incredulous and scornful descendant of Cain, perhaps an individual or group from those racial vipers among the Pharisees and Sadducees who came to enquire of John the Baptist.
