Mark : Prophecy and Misquotes (6)
- Mark claims that John the Baptist fulfilled the prophecy given in Malachi
(3:1, 4:1, 5). But the Malachi prophecy says that God
will send Elijah before "the great and dreadful day of the LORD" in which the world will be consumed by fire. Yet John the
Baptist flatly denied that he was Elijah (Elias) in John 1:21 and the earth was not destroyed after
John's appearance. 1:2
- Ezekiel (26:14,
21, 27:36) prophesied that Tyre would be
completely destroyed, never to be built again. But it wasn't destroyed and
continued to exist, as shown by this verse in which Jesus visits Tyre. 7:24, 31
-
"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
Jesus warns his listeners that if they are ashamed of him, he will be ashamed of them when he comes with his angels at the end of the world. So he believed that those that he was talking to would live to see the end of the world.
8:38
- Jesus falsely prophesies that the end of the world will come within his listeners' lifetimes.
9:1
- Jesus shows that he is a false prophet by predicting his return and the end of the world within the lifetime of his
listeners. 13:30
- Jesus falsely prophesies that the high priest would see his second coming. 14:62
