THE BOOK OF MARK

CHRIST JESUS IS OUR PASSOVER - OUR LIVING WORD

Mark – Chapter 11

Mark 11:1 says, “And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,” “Jerusalem” means “set you double peace, teaching of peace.” “Bethphage” means “house of unripe figs.” “Bethany” means “house of dates or house of misery.” Christ Jesus coming to Jerusalem at this time was by the plan of Father God and was taught of in the “Old Testament [Zechariah 14:4].” Christ Jesus is standing upon the Mount of Olives with His disciples, looking over into the Temple of our LORD. When you study Father’s Word you will come to realize there are no mysteries since our LORD has foretold us all things within the “Holy Bible” and all things shall come to pass exactly as they are written. "Jerusalem is Father's God's" most favorite place as is taught in Ezekiel - Chapter 16. Christ Jesus is at the "mount of Olives" teaching us that "olive oil" prayed over to our Father God in the Name of Christ Jesus, is the oil of our people. It is this oil that Father has instructed His children to anoint themselves with, our families, our homes, the sick of spirit and of flesh, receiving a healing according to the will of our Father and upon your belief. It is the same oil the ten virgins were to have within their lamps while waiting for our Bridegroom's {Christ Jesus} return as "King of kings and Lord of lords - Second Advent."

Mark 11:2 says, “And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring [him].” Christ Jesus is “Emmanuel {our Living Word becoming Flesh}” which means “God with us.” Father God has planned all good things according to His will. A colt never ridden by any person was waiting to be in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ. Zechariah 9:9 says, "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."

Mark 11:3 says, “And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.” When Christ Jesus calls, it is necessary to answer without question. Again, our Father taught of His plan in Zechariah 9:9, which is the First Coming of Christ Jesus, the First Advent as our “Messiah, Emmanuel will ride humbly upon that colt to the cross at Calvary, to be sacrificed {crucified} for the sins of mankind.” Zechariah 9:10 teaches of the Second Coming of Christ Jesus, the Second Advent, wherein our Lord returns to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords, riding a white horse, carrying a two-edged sword, which is the Word of Father God Almighty that cuts both ways [Revelation - Chapter 19].”

Mark 11:4 says, “And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.” “Two ways met” means “law {Moses} and prophets {Elijah} coming together as Father’s plan is fulfilled.” This colt was the meeting place, which was ordained of Almighty God, of the law and the prophets, which is the Word of Father God, to be a part of our Lord’s journey to the cross at Calvary.

Mark 11:5 says, “And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?” Remember Christ Jesus had said to the disciples how they should respond if anyone asked why they were taking the colt since this was prearranged by our LORD. Father’s Word, when you study, is that same instruction that should be in your life as you now live. Answer spiritual questions according to Father's Word, which is His will and not according to your own thoughts or will.

Mark 11:6 says, “And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.” When you know what Father’s Word says, there are no questions as to those things our LORD has arranged according to His good will and it is always because of love for His children that this is so. Christ Jesus is the only way to salvation that leads you to the Throne of Father God Almighty. When you are under the veil of our LORD, you will act and participate in the spreading of the Good Gospel since you are a part of the plan of Father when you study, seeking the increase of understanding so you know when Father calls, you answer according to His good will, following His instructions which keep you obedient and disciplined to "Almighty God's Word."

Mark 11:7 says, “And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.” Christ Jesus sat upon the colt prepared by the disciples to ride upon it into the city of Jerusalem, humbly.

Mark 11:8 says, “And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed [them] in the way.” Loving Christ Jesus, the people gathered there showed respect as they laid their garments and palm branches on the road for our Lord to travel over. This is the Sunday just before "Passover" as Christ is our "High Sabbath", our "Sacrificial Lamb."

Mark 11:9 says, “And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord:” “Hosanna” means “save us – we pray now please.” This is taught of in Psalms – Chapter 118 {23 – 29, the Passover Psalm}. Christ Jesus came into the city of Jerusalem humbly, riding on that lowly colt, fulfilling the plan of His Father, Almighty God, preparing the way that all may know the truth that leads to the “Light of Eternal Life.” This is how much our Father loves all of His children that He took the flesh through our Lord Jesus Christ to be our “Perfect Sacrifice upon that cross at Calvary” that the veil may be rent from top to bottom, death [satan] having been defeated, and all can now come before His Throne in the Name of Christ Jesus. What greater love could Father have given to His children than laying down His very life [John – Chapter 15] for those He created for His good pleasure [Revelation – Chapter 4]. Ask yourself what you are doing to please our Father God Almighty.

Mark 11:10 says, “Blessed [be] the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.” “Christ Jesus is our Promised One, our King” and we are His dominion. It is our Lord Jesus Christ who can “save us now.”

Mark 11:11 says, “And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.” Jesus was in full view of all of the people, our Living Word is never hidden from those with eyes to see and ears to hear what “thus saith our LORD” when you study and show yourself approved to receive the increase of knowledge only Father God can give.

Mark 11:12 says, “And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:” This is the next day, Monday. Christ Jesus is about to teach a very important lesson that should be heard and understood spiritually.

Mark 11:13 says, “And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not [yet].” Christ Jesus of course knew the season for all fruits fit to be ripe and ready to be eaten; therefore we look to the spiritual meaning of what our Lord is teaching. This is a teaching of the “Parable of the Fig Tree [Matthew – Chapter 24, Mark – Chapter 13 & Luke – Chapter 21]" and our Lord did not say consider learning and understanding this Parable, He said, “Now {immediately} learn a parable of the fig tree;” Within this teaching are the good figs and the bad figs which are symbolic of people, and their captivity [Jeremiah 24:1]. Nebuchadnezzar had taken Father's children into captivity at that time, and as we now live satan shall be cast to this earth at the sounding of the Sixth Trumpet [Revelation 12:7 - 9] and shall take most of this world into captivity in his deceptive disguise as the first/false christ [Revelation 9:11].

Mark 11:14 says, “And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard [it].” Jeremiah – Chapter 24 teaches of the good and bad figs returning to Jerusalem revealing this is the final generation as the Trumps, Seals and Vials are fulfilled. The “very good figs {very elect}” are true christians who have eyes to see and ears to hear, understanding and teaching as the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia, and the “very naughty figs” are the kenites, the children of Cain who is the son of satan, the enemies of Father God. This is all about the abomination of desolation, satan as the anti-christ, that shall sit his vile self in the place where Father God’s Beloved Son was sacrificed, crucified for the sins of mankind, deceiving most of the world into believing he is our True Christ. This occurs at the Sixth Trump, Seal and Vial. Christ Jesus returns at the Seventh Trump, Seal and Vial and there shall not be one stone left standing upon another [Matthew 24:2] when He cleanses that which has been defiled, setting up His Millennial Kingdom, and when Father God returns, it shall be a “new Heaven and a new Jerusalem.” When studying the prophecies of Almighty God’s Word, if you see through flesh eyes instead of spiritual eyes, you will never understand what “thus saith our LORD.”

Mark 11:15 says, “And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;” John 2:15 says, “And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;” Our Lord swung a whip against those calling themselves christians who were doing nothing more than playing church in the House of Father God. They were disrespecting our LORD as they sold mite infested doves rather than the best, the first of their flock to be offered as a sacrifice to Almighty God. They were running a business in the church just as the kenites and pulpit gurus do today. They were lining their pockets with ill-gotten gain just as the churches of today. Our LORD said in Malachi 3:10, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be “meat in mine house”, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].” Christ Jesus put a stop to commerce [satan/hidden dynasties] within Father’s Temple then and He will accomplish this same act when He returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” This is the boldness which the very elect are to share and teach to those lost in the doctrines and traditions of men as we now live. Offerings are to be made to Father God and not the pulpit gurus since our LORD instructed us to take care of the widows and the poor, not those standing in the pulpit spewing false doctrines that shall lead most of the people right into the bed as harlots {spiritually speaking} of satan when he returns as the first/false christ. You can be sure the religious hypocrites will not be happy when they hear of Christ Jesus clearing their commerce from the House of Father God Almighty. Remember, the hidden dynasties of satan upon this earth are economics, education, politics and religion.

Mark 11:16 says, “And would not suffer that any man should carry [any] vessel through the temple.” Christ Jesus immediately stopped commerce, big business, within Father’s House.

Mark 11:17 says, “And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.” This is taught in Isaiah 56:7 and Jeremiah 7:11. A true church belongs to Father God and what makes it a church is that Father’s Word is taught there Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse and it is a place to commune with Almighty God, heart to Heart and spirit to Spirit. Christ is asking these hypocrites the same question you should be asking the pulpit gurus of today who play church.

Mark 11:18 says, “And the scribes and chief priests heard [it], and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.” These are the bad figs [kenites] who sit in seats of authority within the churches of this time who wanted to put our Lord to death. They were upset because their ill-gotten gain was being affected, and they were afraid because the people were turning from them to Christ Jesus, who was teaching them, healing sickness and removing evil spirits from the people. The religious community then as now could do nothing but play-act for the people and this in no way measures to the truth of Father’s Word when there are ears hearing and eyes seeing what “thus saith our LORD.”

Mark 11:19 says, “And when even was come, he went out of the city.” Christ Jesus as the very elect of today did not want to remain in the presence of the bad figs [enemies of Father God] any longer than was necessary. When you are on a mission for Father God, be careful of where your obstacles are coming from that are attempting to remove you from your spiritual path.

Mark 11:20 says, “And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.” Mark 11:21 says, “And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.” That fig tree which represents the kenites who sit in seats of authority within the religious community then and now as we live, that Christ Jesus approached earlier had dried up quicker than it would have naturally. The bad figs, the kenites, shall never produce that good fruit which is the truth of Father’s Word because they are darkness and anything they have to say is all dried up and useless since it is babble and confusion. They will always only lead the Biblically illiterate Bible thumping so-called christians straight to death {spiritually speaking}, who is satan, when they bow down and worship believing him to be our True Christ here to rapture them away when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ. The only way you can identify kenites when they are within your midst is to have knowledge of Father's Word so you can determine truth from lies, the priesthood of Father God from the priesthood of satan.

Mark 11:22 says, “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.” Never put your faith in your pulpit guru, the church itself or any human being. Your faith should be in Father God Almighty only. We are a generation that lives by faith [Romans – Chapter 1 {Verse 17}] and without that belief; you are walking in darkness, which belongs to satan. Your faith which brings about belief can only come when you know the absolute truth which is found in Father's Word, the Holy Bible, and if you never study that truth, there is nothing for you to have faith in since you do not even know the prophesies and promises of our Father.

Mark 11:23 says, “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” “Mountain” means “to move from its place – the false nation, those bad figs [kenites].” When you have faith in Father God and take a stand against his enemies who are identified according to their actions, you can rest assured that our LORD will always take care of you. Drive the lying doctrines and traditions of men out of the churches as Christ showed us when He took that whip and had everyone moving up out of Father’s House with their blasphemous actions. When you believe, have faith, you never have to fear satan or his nation of kenites since Christ Jesus gave us power over all enemies.

Mark 11:24 says, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].” “Believe” means “to know to be true, place confidence in.” This has nothing to do with your physical wants or what you think you deserve, rather our Lord is teaching to pray to our Father with faith for the destruction of His enemies. If they are enemies of Father God and you are a follower of our LORD, they are your enemies as well. Move them with prayer and doing the works of Father God, praying for what you need to battle satan and his kenite children, according to your faith and Father will provide all that you have need of to “stand against the wicked.” Teach our Father's Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, building upon them Precept by Precept that all things will be revealed to all who seek, ask and knock.

Mark 11:25 says, “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” All human beings sin, including the very elect of Father God. Christ Jesus as given salvation to all having rent that veil from top to bottom wherein you can approach the Throne of Father God with a pure heart and repent of sins, receiving forgiveness from our LORD. With that forgiveness, strive to do better today than you did yesterday within your spiritual walk. Likewise, Father expects you to forgive yourself once you have repented and He expects you to forgive others who have sinned against you. If you walk around with guilt and/or hold on to malice, satan will use these emotions against you to keep you from the love of Almighty God and serving him because of this weakness.

Mark 11:26 says, “But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” When someone offends you and it is impossible to befriend or get along with them, forgive them in any event and just stay away from them. Misery often hunts company and you do not want to be a guest of their unhappiness. Father God has the broadest shoulders of all and forgives over and over and it is necessary for you to do the same since otherwise it can place an obstacle wherein you are not effectively being the plant seeder and teacher of Father’s Word that you should be. Stay focused on working for Father God and never let people or ways of the world stand in your way.

Mark 11:27 says, “And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,” “Jerusalem” means “set ye double peace.” Here come the religious hypocrites, that bad fig nation, to confront our Lord Jesus Christ once again.

Mark 112:28 says, “And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?” They are asking Christ Jesus who is Father God Almighty Himself in the Flesh, who gave Him the right to come into the Temple of Almighty God and whip the money-changers, turning over their tables, forbidding any commerce to continue with their mite infested doves. This is why you want to judge the tree by its fruit and know who the kenites are by their very actions. When you hear someone so dense as to question Father’s Word, not even knowing “Christ Jesus is the Authority” which drives satan from House of Father God, you need to kick the dust and move to green pastures.

Mark 11:29 says, “And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.” They are so ignorant as to believe they can trap Christ Jesus, our Living Word. Well, rest assured our Lord is going to cause them to fall flat on their faces with the “Wisdom of Father God Almighty.” This is just what the very elect of this generation should be doing with the pulpit gurus and the kenites who sit in high places of authority within the religious community. Meet the challenge with their Biblical illiteracy and wicked, greedy ways with the “Truth of our Father’s Word.”

Mark 11:30 says, “The baptism of John, was [it] from heaven, or of men? answer me.” Christ is teaching the very elect that when the Biblically illiterate pulpit gurus and the kenites ask religious questions in a fruitless attempt to tarnish you, combat them with questions from Father’s Word since it just shakes them all up. They understood the depth of the question Christ Jesus asked and they had to discuss this before even thinking about answering. Christ Jesus Himself was baptized and you will read in Matthew 3:16 & 17 that the heavens opened, the Spirit of Father God descending like a dove, lighting upon Christ Jesus, proclaiming “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Most assuredly, this is from Heaven. John the Baptist baptized many people because they had faith in knowing he was sent by Father God. The scripture lawyers, these religious kenite hypocrites have a real dilemma for themselves here since they had sent spies at that time to witness what was taking place during the baptisms and saw the faith there. The people believed John was a prophet sent of Almighty God in the spirit of Elijah {Elias} [Luke 1:17], a forerunner for the coming of Christ Jesus as Messiah, who was now with them. If the hypocrites say John the Baptist's authority came from Heaven, they would likewise have to say Christ Jesus' authority came from Heaven.

Mark 11:31 says, “And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?” Still discussing how to respond amongst themselves they know that if they say “from Heaven”, Christ will ask them why then did they try to stop His work since they understood it to be of Father God. Admitting that John the Baptist had come in the spirit of Elijah, these religious hypocrites would have to likewise receive Christ Jesus in that same Spirit. The people believed John was a prophet sent of Almighty God in the spirit of Elijah {Elias} [Luke 1:16], a forerunner for the coming of Christ Jesus as Messiah and these kenites definitely did not want to confirm this truth, nor cause the people to rally against them by stating it was not of Heaven.

Mark 11:32 says, “But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all [men] counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.” These religious hypocrites knew they could not say that the baptism of the people and Christ Jesus was of men since the people believed John to be a prophet. If they say of men that would mean that the teachings of John were not of Father God, not spiritually inclined, which means all that John said and accomplished was void because it was of the doctrines and traditions of men. Therefore, they had reason to fear the reaction of the people since their response would indicate there was nothing spiritual about their baptism or believing the teachings of John.

Mark 11:33 says, “And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.” Christ Jesus did not cast His pearls before swine [Matthew - Chapter 7]. All the people witnessed what cowards these religious hypocrites are and how they enjoy, just like a pig, wallowing within their ignorance. Christ Jesus showed by all things that He did that “He was the Authority”, no man ever being able to accomplish the things our Lord did in healing the sick, lame and blind, casting out demons and evil spirits, causing the deaf to hear, feeding the children the “Truth of Father God’s Word” without end. “Christ Jesus {Yeshua} is Emmanuel {God, YAHOVAH with us}.”
