AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 11:1 When they were nearing Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of His disciples, [Matt 21:1-9; Luke 19:29-38; John 12:12-15] |
Bible Question: Mark 11 |
Bible Answer: Jesus Christ's glorious entry into Jerusalem was the fulfilment of OT prophecies, Ps 118; Zec 9:9. The fig tree symbolized Judaism with its Law of Sin and Death. What took place in the temple cleansing symbolizes what is to come for very similar reasons, also prophesied in Isa 66. At the future temple cleansing there will very likely be those who will question why they are in the goat line, Mt 25. It is very possible that they will also hear the same question about John the Baptist, Mk 11:27-33. Very few people have paid attention to what John the Baptist said and what took place during his ministry. He came to testify of that Light in Ps 118. Jn 1:6. There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 7. The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the Light, that all might believe through him. 8. He was not the Light but came that he might bear witness of the Light. 9. There was the True Light, even the Light which lighteth every man, coming into the world. 10. He was in the world and the world was made through Him and the world knew Him not. 11. He came unto His own and they that were His own received Him not. 12. But as many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become Children of God, even to them that believe on His Name 13. who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man but of God. Read what Peter wrote in 1Pe 2:1-8 where he quoted from Ps 118 and Isa 28 for a very good reason. |
