Context of the Gospel of Mark

    (1 Thessalonians 4)
  • Written approx. 70 A.D. ? just before or prior to
    destruction of Jerusalem Temple
  • Early apostles dead
  • Crisis of storyline of life of Jesus
  • Prior to chapter 13, Jesus teaches in Jerusalem
    Temple ? money center
  • Temple hierarchy worked with Romans
  • Chapter 13 Tuesday of Jesus last week

Jesus Moves to a Place of Opposition to the
Temple Mark 131-4
  • 131 As he came out of the temple, one of his
    disciples said to him, SEE, Teacher, what large
    stones and what large buildings!
  • 132 Then Jesus asked him, ARE YOU LOOKING AT
    these great buildings? Not one stone will be left
    here upon another all will be thrown down.
  • Jesus exits temple
  • Huge temple rebuilt under rule of King Herod
  • Language of sight, seeing
  • Jesus teaches resistant non-violence, unlike 4
    other Jewish groups
  • 66 A.D. Roman army surrounds Jerusalem Temple,
    Jewish groups camp in temple
  • 68 A.D. head of Roman army called back to Rome
    because of Neros death
  • Abomination of desolation ? Temple desecrated
    military victory is not the answer

7
Jesus Moves to a Place of Opposition to the
Temple Mark 131-4 continued
  • 133 When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives
    opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and
    Andrew asked him privately,
  • 134 Tell us, when will this be, and what will
    be the sign that all these things are about to be
    accomplished?
  • Mountain of Olives on other side of the temple
  • Takes disciples outside of temple
  • Thesis bodily movement out of temple to create
    the body as place where God dwells, filled with
    the Holy Spirit, not the temple
  • Son of Man gathers elect, bodies w/ spirit of God
    in them, he does not judge

8
Eyes, Ears, and Emotions during the Beginning of
the Birth Pangs Mark 135-8
  • 135 Then Jesus began to say to them, LOOK OUT
    that no one leads you astray.
  • 136 Many will come in my name and say, I am
    he! and they will lead many astray.
  • 137 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do
    not be alarmed this must take place, but the end
    is still to come.
  • 138 For nation will rise against nation, and
    kingdom against kingdom there will be
    earthquakes in various places there will be
    famines. This is but the beginning of the birth
    pangs.
  • Using eyes, mouths, ears emphasizing the body
    to guard against false messiahs
  • Uses emotion as well, do not be alarmed
  • End of the world will not come with destruction
    of Jerusalem Temple
  • Image of birth pangs strong apocalyptic image,
    dramatically wonderful birth of a new age
  • Only the beginning of the birth pangs

9
Mouths as Media for the Holy Spirit during the
Time of Being Handed Over Mark 139-13
  • 139 As for yourselves, LOOK OUT for they will
    hand you over to councils and you will be beaten
    in synagogues and you will stand before
    governors and kings because of me, as a testimony
    to them.
  • 1310 And the good news must first be proclaimed
    to all nations.
  • 1311 When they bring you to trial and hand you
    over, do not worry beforehand about what you are
    to say but say whatever is given you at that
    time, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy
    Spirit.
  • 1312 Brother will betray brother to death, and a
    father his child, and children will rise against
    parents and have them put to death
  • 1313 and you will be hated by all because of my
    name. But the one who endures to the end will be
    saved.
  • Presence of God moves from temple to bodies of
    disciples
  • Look out for your bodies
  • Context of much pain
  • Emphasizes emotion again do not worry
  • Holy Spirit talking through them, not disciples
    talking
  • Leaving family institutions Christian community
    as alternative family structure
  • Spirit first enters Jesus at Baptism

10
Feet and Hands during the Time of the Desolating
Sacrilege Mark 1314-23
  • 1314 But when you SEE the desolating sacrilege
    set up where it ought not to be (let the reader
    understand), then those in Judea must flee to the
    mountains
  • 1315 someone on the housetop must not go down or
    enter the house to take anything away
  • 1316 someone in the field must not turn back to
    get a coat.
  • 1317 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those
    who are nursing infants in those days! ...
  • 1321 And if anyone says to you at that time,
    SEE! Here is the Messiah! or SEE! There he
    is!do not believe it.
  • 1322 False messiahs and false prophets will
    appear and produce signs and omens, to lead
    astray, if possible, the elect.
  • 1323 But LOOK OUT I have already told you
    everything.

Desolating sacrilege done by revolutionaries
or Roman Emperor defiling temple Instruction
for parts of the body not for covering, but for
moving Jesus longest speech in Mark Not an
apocalyptic Jesus, resembling John the Baptist,
but rather went into towns to spread news of
redemption ? moderate the intensive apocalyptic
, invites into new age Do not be led astray by
thinking end times are near much (hard) work
to do
11
The Son of Man Gathers the Bodies of the Elect at
the End Mark 1324-29
  • 1324 But in those days, after that suffering,
    the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not
    give its light,
  • 1325 and the stars will be falling from heaven,
    and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
  • 1326 Then they will see the Son of Man coming
    in clouds with great power and glory.
  • 1327 Then he will send out the angels, and
    gather his elect from the four winds, from the
    ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
  • 1328 From the fig tree learn its lesson as
    soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth
    its leaves, you know that summer is near.
  • 1329 So also, when you SEE these things taking
    place, you know that he is near, at the very
    gates.
  • Imagery of end times comes from book of Daniel,
    not typical language Jesus uses
  • Bring Daniels language into Jesus speech
  • When Jesus refers to Son of Man, he is not
    referring to himself, but instead a heavenly
    figure
  • Not until Jesus is resurrected that Jesus is
    considered the Son of Man

12
Eyes, Ears, and Thoughts as the Keys to
Preparedness for Divine Action Mark 1330-37
  • 1330 Truly I tell you, this generation will not
    pass away until all these things have taken
    place.
  • 1331 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my
    words will not pass away.
  • 1332 But about that day or hour no one knows,
    neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but
    only the Father.
  • 1333 LOOK OUT, keep alert for you do not know
    when the time will come.
  • 1334 It is like a man going on a journey, when
    he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge,
    each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper
    to WATCH OUT.
  • 1335 Therefore, WATCH OUTfor you do not know
    when the master of the house will come, in the
    evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at
    dawn,
  • 1336 or else he may find you asleep when he
    comes suddenly.
  • 1337 And what I say to you I say to all WATCH
    OUT.
  • Adjustment in verse 30, all these things
  • Apocalyptic discourse configured to
    responsibilities in the world
  • Empowered by the spirit

13
Additional Interpretation
  • Borg Crossan Marks community was an
    anti-imperial movement and yet committed to
    nonviolence (consistent with the nonviolence of
    Jesus) nonviolence as a way of resisting evil
    (p. 81). Apocalyptic eschatology the
    expectation of dramatic and decisive divine
    intervention in near the future (for Marks
    community, the second coming of Jesus, p. 82).
  • Blount Abominable desecration (desolating
    sacrilege) of the temple done by Jewish zealots
    who turned Gods house of prayer for all nations
    (Mk 1117) into a staging ground for war (p. 211,
    following Joel Marcus). Mark Gospel of
    universal inclusion. Shift from correct
    spiritual behavior (blepete) to correct, faithful
    behavior (gregoreite), namely acting in a new
    way. Belief orders action (pp. 213-214).
  • Charles Mark 13 is a remake of the Egyptian
    plagues without the frogs (p. 228). You better
    watch out! (pp. 230-231).
