Mark 11:1-26 "The Fig Tree and the Temple"

Our King Jesus is also a Prophet and our Priest, and what we see in verse 11 is a temple inspection. We have talked about our Lord’s offices in previous episodes, and He acts here within the duties of these offices. He is King of Israel, the Prophet of God –foretelling with 100% accuracy the future events soon to take place, and the only High Priest you will ever need—in the order of Melchizedek. He is the final offeror and the final offering. In this office, the temple is under His jurisdiction.
