Crowds and the Messiah

LoP_Mark-07.mp4

The miraculous deeds of Christ are a primary focus of Mark’s action-paced gospel, and thus far we have already seen examples of the casting out of demons, the lifting of maladies, the cleansing of lepers, and the raising of paralytics, but only pieces of the teachings of Christ. Now as we continue with Mark, we will see more of His discourses, beginning with His engagement with the scribes under the roof of the apostle Matthew’s home.

The gospel of Mark is essentially Peter's gospel, and in our previous presentation we read what could be considered Peter's personal account of the healing of his mother-in-law, whom we identified as a type for the woman of Israel in this particular instance, as the woman is often depicted as the symbolic mother of the nation in the prophets.

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.
