A Commentary on Mark by Lion of Patmos Videos: Plastering the Bruises (Mark 1:29-39)
In our previous presentation we spent much time discussing how throughout Scripture the origin of unclean spirits both embodied and disembodied is tied to the fallen angels, whose fornication is described in Genesis and the fragments of 1 Enoch. This must be true, because the other races are rejected based on their sperma and genos, and if God is the author of life, then the only way for them to have an origin apart from Him is to be a corruption of that which He created. Their corrupt parentage is most explicitly uncovered in the Gospel and Revelation of Christ, who came to reveal the things kept hidden from the foundation of Society, and also in the epistles of His apostles, most notably Jude and 2 Peter.
As Christ said concerning the racial thorns among the Pharisees, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted shall be uprooted!” And as Solomon said before Him, being inspired by His Spirit, bastard seedlings have “no hope, nor consolation in the day of decision. For grievous are the ends of an unrighteous race.” [ Wisdom 3:18-19 (…)]
Their ends are grievous, but there is hope in the end of the children of Israel, and for the rest of Adam with them. A comfort to the children of Israel and a perturbation to His enemies: that was the principal theme of our previous presentation on Mark, and it is the testimony of the writings in their entire balance.
Now as we continue with the gospel, we will see Christ bringing even more encouragement to the denizens of the village of comfort with many marvels, miracles which show that He was sent by the Father, for as He said, “the works which the Father gave to Me in order that I shall complete them, those same works which I should do testify concerning Me, that the Father sent Me!”
[ John 5:36 (…), also John 10:25, et al]
