The earliest written gospel material was anonymous but attributed to a man named Mark.
Comments
There is said to be Three days and three nights in the tomb which we have already explained. People may still want to debate the issue. The masses are often distracted by doctrines of men and with their pet issues like "calendars" and the counting of days.
This often leads to missing the essential elements, the precept, and purpose of the kingdom of God.
There were certain rituals and ceremonies that have a place in the seeking of the kingdom of God and His rightiousness. What are those certain rituals and ceremonies?
Does it includes robes and collars or the hierarchy of rank and rings?
Does it have benefactors who exercise authority[1] one over the other like the governments of the gentiles?
Does it include the wages of unrighteousness from the unrighteous mammon[2] or does your table that is supposed to be for your welfare serve the dainties of rulers through covetous practices which is idolatry[3] which are a snare?[4]
Are your certain rituals and ceremonies caring for your parents, loving your neighbor through faith, hope, and charity? Or are you a foolish virgins with no oil.
Who was Jesus? “‭6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. ‭7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7, AV
Are you keeping the sabbath if you become a surity for debt and curse children with debt? People are only sabbath keepers until they become works of iniquity.
The true doctrine of Jesus can help us emerge from the darkness within our own hearts and minds born out of the "covetous practices" of the masses where they bite one another until they are snared like merchandise and even "curse children" with trillions of dollars in devouring debt.
There are always those who will deny either the God of creation, the Unmoved Mover, the I am, and His Divine Will. They will desire to believe that they can overcome the consequences of denying His will by clinging to or hiding behind the Doctrines of men created by their own imagination. [5]
How do you get people to swallow a lie?
Like Swallowing a camel it is done one bite at a time.[6]
What are the essential elements of the Gospel of the kingdom, the good news of the jurisdiction of the Creator God?
We are to make no covenant with other gods because it will surely be a snare.[7]
V1 bought sweet spices[8], that they might come and anoint him. Do we bring "sweet spices" to Christ early?
Who rolled away the stone of liberty?
Who is willing to live by the perfect law of liberty?
Who will allow every man to remain subject to the original right to choose and the liberty in which Christ has made us free?
V4-5 Who was clothed in a long white garment [9]? Why and what does he instruct?
V6-7 "Be not affrighted" ...go your way, tell his disciples he goeth into Galilee.
V8 appears to be the last verse written by Mark. The remaining verses were added and became popular among many Christians.
V9 Appeared first to Mary Magdalene[10]
V11-13 They believed not.
Mark 16:16 says, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved[11]; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
Questions
I can agree with Dr. Voddie Baucham, when he says: “Nowhere in the New Testament will you find that salvation is about "accepting" Jesus. Nowhere are you called to "accept Jesus". Nowhere in the New Testament will you find that salvation is about "asking Jesus into your heart". Nowhere in the New Testament are we told to "ask Jesus into your heart".
I know we are told in Mark_1:15 "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
Many people do not understand that the gospel is the Gospel of the kingdom nor is what they think about the kingdom of God consistent with what the early Church was doing and saying.
Knowing that "repentance" is about thinking differently about that kingdom than the way the pharisees thought the kingdom functioned at the time of Christ because the Got the message of Moses wrong[12] and neglected the weightier matters.
This accurate perception of the nature and practices of the Kingdom of God is an essential part of true repentance. Those factions at the altars of Judea had a number of ideas about the law and the statutes of Moses and even the prophets that were wrong.
Also their system of Corban was so different from the Corban of Christ and the Corban of Moses who were in agreement.
Understanding some of these distinctions may help people know what to repent of or at least what true repentance looks like which may also help with the other instruction given us by Jesus who was the Christ and therefor the King of Judea and His appointed Kingdom of God.
Right away we see in John the Baptist as the voice in the wilderness telling us in Matthew 3:2 "And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." As a prophet there is no reason to think he was wrong, or it was delayed or postponed but it was at hand. If people are not told that king Herod had a scheme to baptize thousands of people into his version of the kingdom of Heaven they might be confused about the repentance taught by John the Baptist and what John considered to be the true nature of the kingdom of heaven that he was preaching.
Besides that repentance from thinking the Corban of the Pharisees and Herod was okay the people were also told and expected to not only seek that kingdom of God which was at hand but to seek the righteousness practiced in that that kingdom of God preached by Jesus but not seen the Kingdom preached by Herod and the Pharisees.
Mat_6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

John 7:34  Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
John_7:36  What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

John_8:37  I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
John_8:40  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
John_8:50  And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
John_13:33  Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
John 18:4  Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
John_18:7  Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 8  Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
Act_2:38  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

The Sabbath of the anointed

[1] And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene[10] , and Mary the mother of James, and Salome,[13] had bought sweet spices[8], that they might come and anoint him.

[2] And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

[3] And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

The stone was rolled away

[4] And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

[5] And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment [9] and they were affrighted.

[6] 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.

[7] 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.

They went quickly

[8] 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.

Appeared first to Mary

[9] Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene[10], out of whom he had cast seven devils.

[10] And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

Believed not

[11] And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

[12] After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

[13] And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

[14] Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness[14] of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

Preach to the world

[15] And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.[11]

Believeth and believeth not

[16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved[11]; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Signs

[17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

[18] 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.

Rreceived up into heaven

[19] So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Went forth, and confirmed

[20] And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

    2 Timothy 3:1 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

  4. Table as a snare

    1 Timothy 6:9 "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
  5. Temple built
    “‭12 But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: ‭13 So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.” Ezra 3:12-13

    “‭9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. ‭10 For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.” Zechariah 8:9-10
