CHRIST JESUS IS OUR PASSOVER - OUR LIVING WORD
Mark – Chapter 16
Mark 16:1 says, “And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.” Christ Jesus had been anointed twice as Mark 14:3 says, “And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured [it] on his head.” John 12:3 says, “Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.” Mary wiping the feet of Christ Jesus was the “first anointing” and the “precious ointment poured upon His head” is the ”second anointing for our Lord’s burial.” “The first anointing took place six days before Passover and this second anointing is two days before the Passover.” “Six” plus “two” equals “eight” which means “new birth, new creation or new beginning.”
Mark 16:2 says, “And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.” They arrived at the tomb which they had marked just as the sun was coming up on “Saturday morning.”
Mark 16:3 says, “And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?” These women knew they could not move the huge stone at the entrance of the tomb and wondered who would help them to complete this task.
Mark 16:4 says, “And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.” As they approached the place where our Lord’s Body was laid to rest, they saw that the huge stone had already been rolled away from the entrance of the memorial.
Mark 16:5 says, “And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.” The “right side” is always “a place of honor or authority.” Christ Jesus now sits at the “right hand of Father God in Heaven.”
Mark 16:6 says, “And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.” The angel spoke and told the women not to be afraid since he knew they were looking to anoint the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord had defeated death [I Corinthians 15:55 – 57] who is satan as all that was laying there was the fine clothing Joseph had dressed our Lord in, however Christ Jesus was not there. Our Lord, just as He had taught, had resurrected on the third day. Christ Jesus did all of this for humankind so the "Door" of Eternal Life could be opened to you and to me.
Mark 16:7 says, “But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.” Christ Jesus spoke these words to His disciples in Matthew 14:28. “Galilee {Greek}” means “to roll, roll away, roll down, roll together.” Just as Christ had instructed His disciples that “after He is risen, He would go before them into Galilee”, we of this “Generation of the Fig Tree” must likewise remember the teachings of Father’s Word since all things are foretold for us. We only come to know through studying faithfully that we must wait on our “King of kings and Lord of lords”, free from the folly of satan’s deception, as a virgin wife and bride receiving her “Bridegroom {Christ Jesus]” at the appointed time {Seventh Seal, Trump and Veil}.
Mark 16:8 says, “And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any [man]; for they were afraid.” This is also taught in Matthew 28:8 which says, “And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.” “With fear and great joy” is not a contradiction. “Fear” means to “revere.” “Revere” means to “love, respect and worship” our Father God Almighty from a pure and loving heart. There was and is great cause to do so since our Lord Jesus Christ has defeated death [satan] as He has arose from the grave. All should want to be as these women, vessels Father God can use for the fulfillment of His plan. All should want to study and understand Father’s Word, following His instructions, being obedient, feeling the “great joy” of knowing Father is pleased with the deeds and works of His children. Psalms 115:13 says, “He will bless them that fear {love} the LORD, [both] small and great.” Just as these women were joyful to bring the tidings of the resurrection of Christ Jesus, those of this generation, Father’s very elect, are joyful to plant seeds of truth and share in the “love and great joy” of spreading the word that our Lord Jesus Christ will soon be returning to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords” just as He taught in Revelation – Chapter 19.
Mark 16:9 says, “Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.” Christ Jesus changed the life of this woman who so dearly loved Him. What our LORD did for Mary Magdalene, He can do for anyone who believes and want to possess the Holy Spirit of Father God Almighty. No matter how deep in sin you believe you have fallen, remember all you have to do is repent from a true heart in the name of Christ Jesus and return to Father God. Isaiah 44:22 says, “I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.”
Mark 16:10 says, “[And] she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.” They are mourning Christ Jesus when He had told them of His resurrection in three days and that He would see them again. She told them to get up and prepare to be at the meeting place Christ Jesus had foretold them of.
Mark 16:11 says, “And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.” The disciples did not believe Mary Magdalene. Even those disciples who had been with Christ Jesus at the Mount of Transfiguration did not believe our Lord had resurrected. These disciples had been with Christ Jesus as He taught the Good Gospel, witnessed all of His wondrous acts and knew the Power and Might of our Lord Jesus Christ. All things that transpired up to and including the resurrection of our Lord, He had told His disciples while He was yet with them. Father God is using the disciples as an example to us as we now live in this generation that we are not to doubt His Word as we live by faith, understanding coming from studying Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, seeking that increase of understanding only Father God can grant to all who seek, ask and knock.
Mark 16:12 says, “After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.” This is Luke – Chapter 24. Peter’s eyes were closed for a time and he went to the tomb to see for himself if our Lord had resurrected, and this was accomplished for those of us who now live in this Generation of the Fig Tree. It is to warn us of how easy it is for your spiritual eyes to close if you do not commit yourself to faithful study of Father’s Word, praying always, and avoid the doctrines and traditions of men.
Mark 16:13 says, “And they went and told [it] unto the residue: neither believed they them.” Here is a second witness as to the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and the disciples, now apostles, still did not believe what they were hearing. This is why you must have a spirit, a heart towards Father God always that you have “eyes that see and ears that hear” what “thus saith our LORD.” Again, all these things are happening as an example for humankind as we now live. Just as these disciples fell apart within themselves when our Lord was no longer walking with them, if you do not faithfully study Father’s Word you likewise will stumble in disbelief as you are blinded spiritually. Let the Spirit of Christ Jesus arise within you so you can witness the Good Gospel.
Mark 16:14 says, “Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.” There was only eleven to witness our Lord Jesus Christ at this time since Judas had passed away. Judas was murdered by the same kenites religious people who murdered our Lord as you can read of in "Acts - Chapter 1." So as these eleven sat in disbelief of what was witnessed to them twice, our Lord Jesus Christ appears before the eyes of His disciples. They were chastised by our Lord because of their unbelief and you can rest assured they humbly accepted this scolding which they deserved since our Lord had foretold them all things so they were without excuse. As we now live in this generation, we too are without excuse since we have Father’s Word to keep us on the Christ-like path. There are no mysteries, no secret things. Our Father inspired "His Word, the Holy Bible" to be understood; truth unveiled.
Mark 16:15 says, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” The disciples, as they did with Christ Jesus, travelled far and wide to spread the Good Gospel when today all you have to do is turn on the television, radio or computer and hear the truth of Father’s Word. Since the religious hypocrites use these same forums to spread their lies, doctrines and traditions of men, it is necessary to pray to Father God to help you to receive only seeds of His Truth so you can study to show yourself approved. It is the responsibility of the very elect, our Lord’s disciples and apostles, as we now live to continue to spread the ministry of Christ Jesus to all who will open their eyes and see, and their ears to hear what “thus saith our LORD.”
Mark 16:16 says, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Except for the very elect of Father God, all of humankind has to make a choice as to whom they will follow, satan or Father God. It is easy to follow satan, all you have to do is play church and listen to Biblically illiterate pulpit gurus teach their doctrines and traditions of men, the rapture, any moment, fly away lies. It takes some joyful work to follow Father God. It is called faithful study, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse and this is the easiest job you will ever have if you love Father God because your reward is Eternal Life, garbed in fine white linen of righteous acts.
Mark 16:17 says, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;” “Signs” means “the wonders by which Father God authenticates those sent by Him which is accomplished by and through the Holy Spirit.” “Tongues” means “languages.” Christ Jesus is saying the disciples have His blessing and they will learn languages of people around the world so they can continue to teach the “Good Gospel, the True Gospel.” The very elect of this generation are made up of all people of this world so Father’s Word can be taught and received by every language known to humankind. There is also a time coming when the very elect, many of them not knowing any language but their own, shall be handed up before the synagogues of satan and when they speak by the blessings of the Holy Spirit, it shall be understood by every language throughout the whole earth. This is one of the many miracles of Father God and it shall happen when satan is cast to this earth as the first/false christ and the very elect are called to give a testimony of “Father God Almighty, Faithful and True.” By the power of Almighty God the very elect and all who believe in our LORD and follow His teachings have been given power over satan and his entourage as our Lord taught in Luke 10:19 which says, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." This includes all of Father’s enemies who seek to harm you when you are doing and are under the will of our LORD since there is victory when you take a "stand" against evil forces in the “Name of Christ Jesus by the blessings of His Holy Spirit.”
Mark 16:18 says, “They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” The “serpent” is “satan [Revelation 12:9].” Our Lord is saying that you can pick up evil spirits, the devil himself and cast them out of your life or another’s life in the “Name of Christ Jesus.” “They drink any deadly thing {poison}, and it shall not hurt them” is speaking of your character as a teacher of Father’s Word in our Lord’s Name. When you are teaching and the religious hypocrites try to demean your character with their poisonous tongues, they will not succeed. True christian character, your reputation, will stand against all the tests of the hypocrites when they try to pull you down with gossip and lies. “Laying hands on the sick, and they shall recover” comes when you anoint one with the oil of our people, which is olive oil that is blessed under the veil of Father God in the Name of Christ Jesus. The oil in of itself has no power, rather by your believe in the “Power of Almighty God” brings about the healing spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally that is prayed for; if our LORD sees fit to do so.
Mark 16:19 says, “So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.” As Acts – Chapter 1 teaches, Christ Jesus ascended into Heaven on the fortieth day to sit at the right hand of His Father and He is our Intercessor when we pray to Almighty God. Therefore, Christ Jesus, after His resurrection, walked with the apostles forty {probation} days teaching them and letting them know when He departs from their midst, the Holy Spirit will reside with them and all of humankind. On the fiftieth {Pentecost} day the Holy Spirit, which is the “Spirit of Father God Almighty” came to reside with humankind, leading, guiding and directing our lives and shall be with us until our Lord Jesus Christ returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Mark 16:20 says, “And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” All things worked and will continue to work according to the will of Father God Almighty as His Perfect Plan is fulfilled through His very elect upon this earth. “Confirming the word” means “to make firm, establish, make sure” Father's Truths are taught throughout the whole earth and are heard by all who have eyes to see and ears to hear. All of the prophecies and signs taught by Christ Jesus as written in Father’s Word our Lord taught. Understanding comes from the Holy Spirit of Father God as all should be studying, praying, watching, ready to stand against satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ. “When you love and stand for Father God Almighty in the Name of Yeshua Christ Jesus by the blessings of His Holy Spirit, our LORD, YAHOVAH {I AM THAT I AM}, will never leave or forsake you. Amen! Amen! means That’s That!~”
Mark 16:2 says, “And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.” They arrived at the tomb which they had marked just as the sun was coming up on “Saturday morning.”
Mark 16:3 says, “And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?” These women knew they could not move the huge stone at the entrance of the tomb and wondered who would help them to complete this task.
Mark 16:4 says, “And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.” As they approached the place where our Lord’s Body was laid to rest, they saw that the huge stone had already been rolled away from the entrance of the memorial.
Mark 16:5 says, “And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.” The “right side” is always “a place of honor or authority.” Christ Jesus now sits at the “right hand of Father God in Heaven.”
Mark 16:6 says, “And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.” The angel spoke and told the women not to be afraid since he knew they were looking to anoint the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord had defeated death [I Corinthians 15:55 – 57] who is satan as all that was laying there was the fine clothing Joseph had dressed our Lord in, however Christ Jesus was not there. Our Lord, just as He had taught, had resurrected on the third day. Christ Jesus did all of this for humankind so the "Door" of Eternal Life could be opened to you and to me.
Mark 16:7 says, “But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.” Christ Jesus spoke these words to His disciples in Matthew 14:28. “Galilee {Greek}” means “to roll, roll away, roll down, roll together.” Just as Christ had instructed His disciples that “after He is risen, He would go before them into Galilee”, we of this “Generation of the Fig Tree” must likewise remember the teachings of Father’s Word since all things are foretold for us.

Mark 16:9 says, “Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.” Christ Jesus changed the life of this woman who so dearly loved Him. What our LORD did for Mary Magdalene, He can do for anyone who believes and want to possess the Holy Spirit of Father God Almighty. No matter how deep in sin you believe you have fallen, remember all you have to do is repent from a true heart in the name of Christ Jesus and return to Father God. Isaiah 44:22 says, “I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.”
Mark 16:10 says, “[And] she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.” They are mourning Christ Jesus when He had told them of His resurrection in three days and that He would see them again. She told them to get up and prepare to be at the meeting place Christ Jesus had foretold them of.
Mark 16:11 says, “And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.” The disciples did not believe Mary Magdalene. Even those disciples who had been with Christ Jesus at the Mount of Transfiguration did not believe our Lord had resurrected.
