NT202-1: The Use of the OT in the NT — Mark 1-8

Discover how Mark grounds Jesus' identity and mission not in isolated proof-texts, but in the sweeping expectation of the Isaianic New Exodus, revealing Him as YHWH personally delivering His people.In this episode, we examine Mark 1:1–8:26 using the Beale & Carson framework (featuring Rikk E. Watts), exploring the composite prologue conflating Exodus, Malachi, and Isaiah, the exercise of YHWH's divine prerogatives over creation and sin, and practical insights for scholarly and pastoral biblical interpretation.FEATURED LITERATURE & SOURCES:- Primary Reference: G.
