- OH MAN! I forgot to mention a really cool historical insight we get from the Mishnah! Apparently, Jews were expected to enter Jerusalem on foot when travelling there for Passover. This means that when Jesus entered on a donkey it would have stood out as particularly odd and unique. This give us another reason to see the profound and deliberate proclamation to be the Messianic King.
I meant to share that during the study to help those who might think, "so what, lots of people ride donkeys into Jerusalem". This was obviously a lot more than just a donkey ride.
Sometimes it's the passages we find the most familiar that we have the most new stuff to learn from. This will be a careful study of the "Triumphal Entry", or "Palm Sunday" where we intend to get a deeper understanding of the passage and hopefully a greater appreciation for how strategically ironic the whole thing is. Mark 1:1-11 is probably the most ironic passage in the book, in my opinion.

“Take that prosperity preachers, repent, be a real preacher” is it just me or is David wood posing as mike right then lol
I love Mikes manner but I enjoy David too.
@Lon Spector It's by Og Mandino, and it's very inspiring actually.
😂 that got me dyin
Mike and David are each other’s Jekyll/Hyde
@@realdealdaveabramyk9005 hahahahaha SPOT ON!!!
Never thought I would WANT/NEED to hear the nitty gritty of each Word in the Bible, but here i am, Lapping it up !!❤Thanks!!!
Aaaahhhh...More Mike on Mark! More depth, more riches of understanding and comfort. God bless you, dear brother.
“ repent prosperity preachers, become real preachers “ 😂
10mins in and blown away to your insight. Can’t wait to to finish your teaching.
I appreciate all the work you do for us. Thank you for the videos and the insight into each verse. I wish you were able to give us a new video everyday but that because I am greedy.
Brilliant exposition - all I wish is that these profound teachings reach as many hearts as possible. Love your heart, Mike, as it burns just like mine with zeal for the LORD.
"Many of us have heard the the preaching point that 'The same crowd who shouts, "hosanna"
today, a week later will be shouting "crucify him, crucify him"' - and we preach about the fickleness of the crowd. I've felt, for a long time ,a little bit hesitant to do that."
Agreed :-)
When the Pharisees tell Jesus to rebuke the crowd, He appears to commend them (at least in Luke 19 : 40 "if these were silent, the very stones would cry out"). If the crowds were just being fanatical, it seems strange that Jesus' would speak so positively about them.
Good point.
My CZcams channel is in its infancy, but I'm learning a great deal from you. Good stuff!
I appreciate all the time and effort that you put into your videos.
I just recently found your channel and I am loving all of your teaching. Thanks for your ministry!!!
lots of really good observations here! Thank you Mike Winger!
I really really enjoyed your exposition of the donkey. It makes total sense in the context of the culture. And what a brilliant exposition by Jesus, never missing any detail from subtle to open, spelling it out so all who see can be confronted with the enormity of the event...if they choose to see and hear.
Keep up the great work Mike, you have really helped me galvanize my faith in Christ
Hi Mike! Thank you for this series, it's very useful for me to have these videos! Also, some of the episodes of the Mark Series are missing on Spotify since a couple days ago. God bless you Mike!
Thank You Mike for these incredible videos!!
Great study and great stuff. Thank you Mike! The more you teach I feel like the less I know. Lol but not the big stuff just all of the details are incredible. It brings the scripture to life!
I vote for Mark 15:16-20 as the most ironic passage in the book of Mark. Btw studying of Bible changed my view of donkeys as animals to more positive.
God bless you brother for this series
Good stuff! Keep up the good work pastor Mike!
Excellent Mike!
Wow! So happy to hear this teaching! I'll just have to hear the whole series again!!! 😂😂
The volume is too low, and I have to hear it with headphones. I just wish it was a bit louder for people like me who are working and have background noise I'm
Thank you for making the tiny junk in my life seem tinier :-) and amen!
Our Lord stepped down into our filth. The perfect lamb did this to save us. Judas lied to Jesus and Jesus knew this and kept on. I can't imagine how it felt to know of the betrayal all along.
Every year on Palm Sunday, children enter our worship service with palm branches, delightfully waving to the congregation (or devilishly whipping one another) in celebration of Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem. Many know the story of the Lord Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey to the adulation of the crowds.
But not everyone knows that long before Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey-hundreds of years before he was even born-another man rode a donkey into Jerusalem. And in that first triumphal entry, we uncover precious truth about the second.
Our story begins in 1 Kings. Here, King David-the boy who defeated giants as a child and who conquered armies as a youth-is an old man too sick and weak to warm himself (1:1-4). It’s clear to everyone that David’s life is almost over. Soon there will be a new king.
One of David’s sons, Adonijah, decides he wants to be king (1:5-10). He starts by forging two strategic relationships-one with the military leader, Joab, and one with the priestly leader, Abiathar. He gathers them for a private coronation party.
Alert readers know David had already appointed Solomon to be the next king (1 Chron. 23:1; 29:22). Adonijah’s power play, then, was a hostile takeover and a murderous threat to his rivals-his royal brother, Solomon, and his queen mother, Bathsheba. But even more, it was a threat to God’s promises. The Lord had promised David would have an enduring royal dynasty (2 Sam. 7:12-13), specifically through Solomon (1 Chron. 22:9-10).
This family crisis was a life-and-death struggle for the kingdom of God.
Bathsheba enters our story to alert the clueless King David about what’s happening in his kingdom (1 Kings 1:11-27). Bathsheba and the prophet Nathan remind David of the oath he made in response to God’s covenantal promises (Bathseba’s name actually means “daughter of the oath”).
David affirms his plans to crown Solomon (1:28-31) and moves into action (1:32-37). He summons Nathan, Zadok, and Benaiah-a godly prophet, a godly priest, and a godly adviser to the king.
David gives his royal mule (a sort of ancient Air Force One) to Solomon and parades him into Jerusalem from the Gihon Spring across the Kidron Valley. Solomon was anointed and enthroned in public with triumphant celebration. This is no secret self-exaltation like Adonijah’s private party, but God’s people publicly celebrating God’s king with a loud cheer (1:38-40). The private party for Adonijah dissolves as the cheers for Solomon drown out the imposter coronation (1:41-49).
Solomon’s entrance into Jerusalem on a donkey across the Kidron Valley and the Gihon Spring (1:33, 38) declares the true king. It announces that the priestly leader Abiathar-and all the religious leaders following him-are phonies. It announces that the military leader Joab-and all his military powers-aren’t in charge. This one, this king on a donkey, is the true son of David.
On Palm Sunday, we celebrate Jesus retracing Solomon’s path across the Kidron Valley and entering Jerusalem on a donkey (Matt. 21:1-10). It’s certainly a picture of humility-entering on a donkey instead of a war horse (Zech. 9:9). And it certainly evokes a contrast between God’s kingdom and the sort of entrance that Herod or Pilate would’ve received as they entered the city that week.
But as a reflection of Solomon’s coronation, Jesus’s triumphal entry teaches us even more. It testifies that the scribes and Pharisees-the religious leaders who opposed him-are phonies. Like the sons of Eli, they are disqualified from representing the true and living God (1 Sam. 2:31ff). And it also says that Rome with all its military might isn’t in charge. Even the blind could see (Matt. 20:30-31) that Jesus, this king on a donkey, is the true son of David (Matt. 21:9, 15).
Here, at last, is the true king.
Thankfully, Jesus’s kingship is unlike Solomon’s in many ways.
Solomon disbelieved God and trusted in idols; Jesus never did. Even while suffocating to death on the cross, Jesus committed his spirit into the Father’s hands (Luke 23:46).
Solomon sinfully took for himself foreign queens to bolster his own status (1 Kings 11:1-4), but Jesus gave himself up for his bride, the church. Solomon was polluted by his foreign wives (Neh. 13:26), but Jesus cleansed and sanctified his bride, “so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish” (Eph. 5:27).
Solomon built a temple, but then he led his people to worship foreign idols. Jesus established a new temple and is the worship leader for his assembled people: “I will tell of [the Lord’s] name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise” (Ps. 22:22; Heb. 2:12). Solomon led his people down the path to exile; Jesus becomes the path to God-the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
Solomon died, just like David died (1 Kings 11:43). But Jesus rose from the dead to give everlasting life-not only to David and Solomon but to all his royal sons and daughters (Heb. 2:10).
Great break down, thank you. In the Solomon contrasts toward the end, I would say that Solomon brought in foreign gods, while Jesus brought in foreign peoples and put down their gods.
"Not Mark" on the thumbnail is so good.
Ravi put it best. "He did not conqure IN SPITE of evil; He conqured THROUGH it!"
Well done on the thumbnail 👏"Not Mark" 😂😂😂
Is that a jar of gummy bears behind you? I love your teaching and I pray God blesses your ministry and blesses you with wisdom and discernment and direction and revelation and knowledge of Him.
I like your point about not preaching something just because it preaches well, integrity and truthfulness in handling the word of God.
The most eye opening prt of galatians that'll 😮 is "did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith? " wow what a statement I had heard all my life "Gods Spirit does t dwell in dirty cups"
let's keep praying for the prosperity preachers for their eyes to be opened, the same way ours were.
Mark my words, this is a great series!
Even more on the nose about the donkey than the example you gave is the transition of power in 1 Kings chapter 1. David specifies that Solomon is to be put on his own mule and taken to the Gihon to be named king. That's the passage that came to mind when you said it and honestly, I had never thought of it before.
Great job brother mike you got my name right
I'm having a hard time mopping up what you're dripping today Mike! I have restarted this video probably 15 times. Work keeps distracting me!
Thanks Mike
Thanks Mike.
I am curious, did still someone called you "Mark" after the head banner?🤗
Thank you brother Mike, I enjoyed your teaching. God bless you and your family
@mike winger Great teaching - thank you Mike so good to hear an in-depth perspective on what is usually a well known story. Also in Exodus 13:13 the firstborn of a donkey was one of those that could be redeemed by a Lamb I think it was the only ‘unclean’ animal that could be (could be wrong on this) wonder if this has any links to the significance of donkeys in scripture 🤔
Interesting! I have heard that when a king comes in peace, he rides a donkey. When he comes in war, he rides a horse. Jesus rides a horse in Revelation 19 and will make short work of the enemies who have gathered against Him.
VickyRBenson interesting points you make too! It’s amazing all these things which are hidden in the bible I love it and teachers like Mike who help us discover them x
Bramble A, I love it, too. And I love how so many additional points are brought in through the comments, like yours. It is awesome. I can tell that Mike gets very excited to find all the details he does and can hardly wait to share them. I’m glad he gets to do what he loves to do. We all are the beneficiaries. I know he has recorded many studies which I haven’t looked at yet, and I look forward to doing so.
Also this is just a random observation but isn’t it awesome how almost all donkeys have a cross on their backs?
Flora 20, oh my! I vaguely remember hearing that. Thanks for bringing it up. I just googled it, and it’s true! I wish I could include a photo of one here. It’s amazing! A clear line goes from head to tail and a cross-piece runs across the shoulders. Wow! And The pregnant Mary also rode a donkey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, where the King, the Good Shepherd, was to be born in fulfillment of prophecy. Born to die. The lamb of God to be born in Bethlehem Ephrata (fruitful), the place where the sacrificial lambs for the Passover were born, the place where David, the shepherd boy, the future king of Israel, tended his sheep. The Bread from Heaven, the Bread of Life, placed in a manger, a feeding trough. Wow! 😮
Thank you.
We don't need to assume that Jesus knew the man who owned the colt. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. God could have told the man ahead of time, or could have put it in his heart at that moment to let it go. The Bible is full of stories of God telling people to expect someone or something, and of changing people's attitudes for some foreordained purpose.
Anyway great video. The verse by verse studies are the best part of this channel.
Talking about Jesus and the entry on the donkey. A guy I really respect gave a teaching on harmonising the Gospels. One of the things he said was, in Daniel, there is the only time scale prophetic word about the Messiah, 490 years. This would take it from Daniel to somewhere around AD 29. Because the Jewish nation knew their Scriptures they would be expecting the Messiah at the time Jesus was there. I found it really interesting, makes sense of the people asking, 'Are you the One'.
I did like that conjecture. It makes a lot of sense.
the entire 44th minute of this video is golden
"Taken a simplistic view for years and not realized how much depth, sometimes we are bored not with scripture but our own understand of the word of God, and we just need to dig deeper to get excited again."
So true, when I was in high school I thoguht I was a know it all I was getting bored in sermons thinking 'ya ya I've heard this before, and amen to it' but then I went out to study more for myself and really saw how rich this all is. Now when those sermons I've heard before still come up I take to them more like an encouragement a return to base to rest, to be reminded of the good and simple though profound truths.
Hi Mike, thank you for teaching - it is good!
As for the arranged colt theory you proposed, I'd argue Jesus would say it differently if the interaction was planned in advance.
The deal would make no sense otherwise since it would imply He originally told them; if someone takes an unused donkey sometime in the future, don't worry - it's for the Lord, but if you do notice someone untying it ask them and they will tell you the same thing. It seems improbable and unnecessary as he could of just communicated that to his followers in the first place by clearly saying that the donkey was arranged in the past.
Also, Jesus says: "...if anyone asks you...", He does not say '...if owner(s) ask you..."
Since Jesus did everything as Father wanted, it seems more obvious he would act supernaturally by predicting the situation then going by human reasoning making that arrangement prior in the past.
I know it's nothing serious and doesn't change much in context but I wanted to offer a perspective as it stuck out to me as you were presenting it.
Back in my new age days I would be wowed by how many ones were in the title lol.
21:47 I’ve found several passages where this term was used for humans like the owner of a vineyard and the owner of a slave tho
*The Donkey by GK Chesterton.*
When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil's walking parody
On all four footed things.
The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.
Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet,
There was a shout about my ears
And palms beneath my feet.
Thank you for that. I love Chesterton.
@@thestraightroad305 I learnt this as a one off as child for Palm Sunday and it made a big impression on me. I then rediscovered him and his work as an adult. Glad you liked it, it came to mind straight away.
I was thinking about your earlier comment about what the people thought Jesus was here to do versus what he was actually here to do might play a small part in the change from praising him to saying crucify him. But your point of it being two crowds could by supported by how hard Caiaphas and them tried to make sure Jesus was crucified.
Grateful (but not surprised) to hear Mike rejects good stories if they don't pass scrutiny e.g. the fickle crowds. But now I'm curious to know what is rejected.
Obviously the crowd that shouted crucify him were not this same people changing their minds!
Thx.
Wait but what about the woman at the well¿ She was towards the beginning and JESUS told her to tell people¿ (sorry about the upside down ¿ new device)
I appreciate these studies so much but my mind is like a watery plate of scrambled eggs trying to absorb everything.
Around minute 5, speaker says the crowd doesn't realize that JESUS is about forgiveness of sins and new covenant rather than political leadership and dominating over Rome, etc. I think to fine tune this, we should understand as Christians that this particular COMING was not about Jesus assuming political leadership. But as a King, Jesus will take vengeance on the Gentile rulers and kingdoms that oppose him, and reign in a political sense on the earth, even with a second entry into Jerusalem, the next time ?on a horse?. Jesus is not just one more Gentile ruler in the spirit of Gentile rulers, taking over and oppressing; he is a totally different kind of leader. But I think we as Gentile Christians downplay how much the Son of David will take true ownership of the throne to govern the world. The Messianic role that religious Jews look for is still true for Christians. The Jews do not get the role wrong. They may get the attitude of the King wrong, but they get the role right. They may get wrong the disparaging of Gentiles, in contrast to the inclusion of Gentiles into God's people. The big thing they get wrong, is in thinking that because Jesus did not complete the Messianic mission already, he must not be the Messiah and we must wait for another. What is right is that Jesus is the Messiah, with two comings - one coming completes one part of the mission and the second coming completes another part of the mission. Jesus is the Messiah, and we are still waiting for his coming, but as we await his coming, we know it will be the second coming and not the first. It will be this very same Jesus who takes the throne that Jews expect the Messiah to take, but on that day we will all see him and know that He is King, from the greatest to the least. His role is not only about forgiveness of sins and the new covenant; his full mission is yet to be seen accomplished.
Not Mark.....teehee.....
In analyzing the meaning of the donkey have you considered that throughout the Old Testament prophets and sons of kings ride donkeys? The woman who Elijah stayed with, whose son died rode a donkey to fetch him.
I don't know what it means, I am asking.
Yes, He was in line with prophets and kings, princess. That is humbly like them in contrast with more powerful and at the same time ( coincidence?) ungodly nations.
I had to turn off restricted mode to view this video on my smart TV... Weird.
Hi Mike, can you please do a video on what heaven will be like and what we will be doing in heaven?
I always understood that the colt had to be never used as a beast of burden to honor the Sabbath to do no work. You or your animals.
minute 34 - I agree with casting doubt on the "same crowd" idea. But the idea that these are followers Jesus brought with him from outside Jerusalem is not solid. When the king entered the city (traditionally, Gentiles even), the subjects would go outside the city to meet him and then enter the city with him. This is probably what also happened at Jericho (Luke 18:35-36 before Luke 19:1.)
Lord bless you. The Lord is working through you why you work in spite of your allergies. 😂😂😂
@Margaret Kpeh huh? What?
The colt is a direct prophetic event from Zechariach 9:9. He either knew how to use the scriptures or he actually fufilled prophecy. Cross reference with story in Matthew
n
Jesus was fulfilling prophecy in Mark 11:1-11
Does Bethphage mean the house of figs? Yes, I have seeing these names in a Greek NT. They sound different.
Also the donkey (stubborn man?) is spared by the lamb (Exodus13:13: Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck.
The most anticipated thing for every human on earth since the dawn of our exile from paradise was Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. And people are saying Jesus planned this. Yes of course Jesus planned it just like everything else He did He planned.
I will always give a thumbs up to Bible teachers who oppose prosperity preachers and their preaching.
@Margaret Kpeh kindly get your point straight.
@Margaret Kpeh so you are the real Christian here?
We are of the same view with regards to tithe, and perhaps with other Biblical views, i might think. But I'd never come up with that conclusion that all denominations contradict the Bible.
All I know is that there had NOT been any two theologians, no matter how sincere the both of them in the ministry of the Word, had perfectly agreed with all of doctrinal truths. Now that doesn't mean that pastors are liars. As creatures being defiled by sin like us, they are just limited in their ability to perfectly understand all of God's truth.
Now your tone is showing that you have this critical spirit -- judging others on the basis of your own standard of righteousness
It is the love of Christ that defines us as Christians, not our education.
Stop accusing the pastors as liars, and me as false christian. That sort of action belongs to those who are of Satan and not of Christ.
Jesus is ultimately The King of the NEW creation.
Behold, I have made all things new!
8:21: It's "Kéfas", not "Sifes".
Haha, that’s exactly my point! Haha
Ha ha, the Aramaic word for rock is 'kêfā', Paul adds the sigma on the end in Greek [in 1st Corinthians] to make it have the correct case (at least that's what the internet tells me). As Mike said, it probably doesn't matter.
David Dufty, Interesting! I did a little personal study on Petra and Petros once (because the little boy in Indonesia I sponsor through Compassion is named Petra and I am a great believer in knowing the significance of one’s name). I agree that our pronunciation may not matter so much, but the significance or meaning of even small differences may matter more than we may think, if only to realize a hidden blessing that God wants to bring to our personal attention. 😊
Kings always rode donkeys (Showing coming in peace) unless going to battle. Then rode battle horses. (Then showing coming to war)
what do you think about the theory that 6 days must pass (6000) years before our seventh sabbath day of rest ( the 1000 yr millenium) (equal to the week of creation) - for to the lord 1000 years is like a day and a day is as a 1000 years. (2nd peter 3:8) we were told in the book of james that at that time the last days were already here. If the timeline is a week the last days would have to be the last 3 days ( last 3000 years) Jesus was buried for 2 days and was raised on the 3rd day . Lazarus (a type of Israel) was sick and dead for a total of 6 days (John 11:1; 5-6; 14; 39). Jesus resurrected him on the 7th day (John 11:40-44). After 6 days, Jesus took his closest disciples up into a high mountain and was transfigured (a picture of the Second Advent) before them (Matt. 17:1; Mark 9:2). After 6 days, Moses was called up to mount Sinai to be in the presence of God in the midst of the cloud (Exodus 24:16). After 6 days, Jesus went to the wedding feast in Cana (John 1:51; 2:1). Noah was 600 years of age when God destroyed the world with the flood (Genesis 7:6). And the ark rested in the 7th month (Genesis 8:4). King Joash was the rightful king of Israel but who was hidden in the temple of God for 6 years while an impostor reigned (Queen Athaliah - a picture of Satan the devil, the great usurper). At the beginning of the 7th year, the king was brought forth to sit on his rightful throne, and the usurper was put to death (2 Kings 11:16). Slaves worked for 6 years and the 7th year was freedom (Exodus 21:2; Deuteronomy 15:1). During the 6 days before going to the wedding feast in Cana, Jesus took a trip on the 4th day and was not seen again until the 7th day (John 1:19; 29; 35; 43; 2:1). The Passover lamb was set aside 4 days before it was sacrificed (Exodus 12:3; 6). This of course is a type and shadow that pointed to Jesus, the Lamb of God, who was to come and die for the salvation of mankind. The Lamb of God was sacrificed from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8) and was killed at Passover 4,000 years later. “Life” shows up after the 4th day in the creation narrative. Likewise, Christ shows up after 4,000 years and brings “life” (John 1:1-5; 10:10; 3:16; 1 John 1:1-2; 5:12-13).
Are all Preachers , except those who believe and obey Mathew 19 21, not prosperity preachers? Is there any of them interested in going for the treasure promised by Jesus?
hey mike do you know how cain met his wife.
Obviously it's a daughter of Adam and Eve
Pastor Mike, I have to admit that I do say 'Yeshua' since that is His name. Nobody called Him 'Jesus Christ.'
why do some people think the gospels place the crucifixion in different locations lol ?
@Lon Spector ok but that doesn't really answer my question lol. Don't worry Im on your side. I just want to know why some people think scripture places crucifixion in different places within the Gospel writings. Like what verses give some ppl this idea? Ive read the Gospel 3 times I don't see it
@Lon Spector geographical areas haha. This is actually a legitimate argument people have against the Bible. I want to know where on earth do they get this from lol
@@mcr5577 that's so weird. I have just come from a video where ravi zacharias was taking a call from an atheist claiming it speaks of different locations for the crucifixion. So weird😁
@@littleboots9800 thats exactly the video I was referring to!!! haha youtube algorithim is VERY STRONG lolol
@Lon Spector ok...thanks ....but that doesnt really answer my question ?
Your translation is doing you know favors. Embrace the struggle and learn the kjv.
“Look what manner of buildings” is funny. Really funny.
the entire kjv is funny
In the Bible prophecies, Jesus not only comes twice. He also enters Jerusalem twice, goes to the Temple twice, etc. Malachi 3
Hey man y u hitting on prosperity preachers bro....
The Luke 19:23 passage was not what you said it was
just noticing ... Zech 9:10 - the bows used in war will broken ,,, followed by 9:13 Judah will be the bow instead, Jerusalem's men will be used to fight, and will be used like a sword ... only for Jehovah to save the day in vv. 14 - end of chapter
I call it “Germany” and not “Doichland.”
I’m most certainly calling it Doichland from now on.
Jesus riding on someone else's donkey would be like Mike rolling up to church in Donald Trump's or Bill Gates' sports car. Back in those days, people would've known who the donkey belongs to, but Jesus needs no endorsement from (nor association with) anyone.
20:24 I think this is a bit serious mistake. It's "O Kurios", not "Ha Kurios" You're confusing between Greek and Hebrew on the definite article. However, Jesus was not actually speaking in Greek; He was speaking in Aramaic/Hebrew. So what do you think He really said that got translated into Greek as "O Kurios"?
When the Greek has a little “c” above the vowel it is pronounced with an “h” in front of it. So it may look like “o kurios” but it is pronounced as “ha kurios”
@@MikeWinger You're correct that it is actually ὁ. However, it's pronounced "ho", not "ha".
Mauri Sombowadile I think my Greek teacher was using a less popular pronunciation style. It’s my understanding that there is a lot of uncertainty about exactly how to pronounce Koine Greek. But as you can tell, it’s not something I’m very concerned about personally.
@@TernaryM01 No. Omicron has an "aww" sound. Omega has the long o sound, like "toe" or "throw". "Ha" is the correct pronunciation. Mike got it right.
@@snippletrap Give me a link to a Greek teacher showing that. The difference between omicron and omega was that omicron was short and omega was long (that difference has been lost in modern Greek). But both have the same 'o' sound.
God works all things together for good. All the things aren't necessarily good to begin with.
Do you all think that Jesus healed every person who came to Him in faith, to do a disservice to them? Why would He heal everyone, if many people are so much better off sick, if sickness is God's chosen tool to make us better Christians?
Jesus did not ever say to anyone that He wouldn't heal them, or deliver them, because it was His will to allow them to stay sick, and oppressed, in order to improve them spiritually.
He is the same today as He was when He walked on earth, so are His ways the same.
He demonstrated God's PERFECT will, and His Character.
Suffering FOR Jesus is a privilege.
The LORD was aware that His children wouldn't live out their lives in perfect faith. He loves us all the same.
Though none of us live our lives in perfect faith, it doesn't mean that we should lower the standard to fit our imperfections. We should try to obtain unto the standard, with all of our hearts. Jesus Himself is our standard.
He did ask if there would be faith when He came back.
The donkey is not a lowly animal. It’s a regal animal. Only kings can ride donkeys.
Tomato ....to(e)mato .. we know what you mean 😉
Ben Joseph........
Not Mark😂
JESUS was very wealthy. The gifts that the magi brought to HIM, were extremely expensive. I do not buy into prosperity thinking either.
The problem with "fulfilled prophecy" is that it's not happening naturally. Why is it exceptional that a guy who knew the prophecies… "fulfilled" them? He's literally telling his disciples to do things so they can be fulfilled. Who is impressed by this?
How could he have orchestrated being put to death.
@user-yn5de9lc3o Give me the prophecies you're referring to about the messiah being put to death and let's go over them.
Thanks Mike
