Some thoughts on Mark 13

by JWB in

some thoughts on mark 13. .

i decided to look again at the so-called 'signs of the times' from the perspective of mark's gospel.

chapter 13 sets the scene.

But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,25and the stars will be falling out of heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.26And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.27And then he will send forth the angels and will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from earth's extremity to heaven's extremity.

No one has seen the Christ coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Therefore it had not been fulfilled in the days of the apostles. So it refers to people alive in the end times....

the first thing that needs to be determined is who or what is the wild beast ?......

1and it stood still upon the sand of the sea.. and i saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, but upon its heads blasphemous names.2now the wild beast that i saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion's mouth.

There is no justified reason to kill.....they war over resources so they kill to take them. Give me an example where killing is acceptable...

Este, on this Memorial Day Weekend you insult all Americans with your denigration of our military, a military, I might add, that has ensured that you may enjoy and benefit from the freedoms this country provides you.

And God proceeded to speak all these words, saying:

2"I am Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves.3You must not have any other gods against my face.

4"You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth.5You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation, in the case of those who hate me;6but exercising loving-kindness toward the thousandth generation in the case of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7"You must not take up the name of Jehovah your God in a worthless way, for Jehovah will not leave the one unpunished who takes up his name in a worthless way.

8"Remembering the sabbath day to hold it sacred,9you are to render service and you must do all your work six days.10But the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah your God. You must not do any work, you nor your son nor your daughter, your slave man nor your slave girl nor your domestic animal nor your alien resident who is inside your gates.11For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and he proceeded to rest on the seventh day. That is why Jehovah blessed the sabbath day and proceeded to make it sacred.

12"Honor your father and your mother in order that your days may prove long upon the ground that Jehovah your God is giving you.

13"You must not murder.

14"You must not commit adultery.

15"You must not steal.

16"You must not testify falsely as a witness against your fellowman.

17"You must not desire your fellowman's house. You must not desire your fellowman's wife, nor his slave man nor his slave girl nor his bull nor his ass nor anything that belongs to your fellowman."

But, look! one of those with Jesus reached out his hand and drew his sword and struck the slave of the high priest and took off his ear.52Then Jesus said to him: "Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword.

Simple write 666 on your right hand or fore head, done.

No, by taking part in war and by supporting war........

Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?"5And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given it, and authority to act forty-two months was given it.6And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his residence, even those residing in heaven.7And there was granted it to wage war with the holy ones and conquer them, and authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

The wild beast engages in battle and wages war with the holy ones....

1And it stood still upon the sand of the sea.

And I saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, but upon its heads blasphemous names.2Now the wild beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion's mouth. And the dragon gave to [the beast] its power and its throne and great authority.

And I saw another wild beast ascending out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, but it began speaking as a dragon.12And it exercises all the authority of the first wild beast in its sight. And it makes the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first wild beast, whose death-stroke got healed.13And it performs great signs, so that it should even make fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind.

And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead,17and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name.18Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man's number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
