Perhaps the most shocking combination of OT passages is 8:31. Look at how Jesus stacks these references: 🤯🤯🤯 Mark 8:31 "it was necessary for the Son of Man [Dan 7:13-14] to suffer many things [Isa 53:4-10] and be rejected [Ps 118:22] by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and rise after three days [Hos 6:2]."
Jesus' use of the OT in Mark 10:45 is STRIKING: 🤯 Mark 10:45 "For even the Son of Man [Dan 7:13-14] did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many [Isa 53:10-12]." He combines the figure of Dan 7 with the servant of Isa 53!

@adefiaboatengx Put Gospel rub and Devil’s Spit rub on it. Smoked on Traeger for 11 hours at 180 degrees. Then I turned it up to 250 for another 6 hours.

"Those in the new creation know what it is like to be separated from fellowship with God. They know what is is to be redeemed from the horrific evil that dwelt in their own hearts...They will see the King in his beauty, and they will be glad forever." 👑 –Tom Schreiner

@shaw_davidm I suspect that most of those plot lines are in play. The allusion to Esther 7 must be combined with the allusions to Esther in the Synoptics' portray of the beheading of John the Baptist.

Stunning Esther allusion! We only have a few references to Esther in the NT, and here's one of them: Matthew 27:22 "They all answered, 'Crucify him [σταυρωθήτω]!'" Esther 7:9 "There is a gallows seventy-five feet tall at Haman’s house that he made for Mordecai, who gave the report that saved the king. The king said, 'Hang him [Σταυρωθήτω] on it.'" Haman ironically dies by his own instrument of death. Haman was guilty and deserved to die. Jesus will ironically die in like fashion, but he doesn't deserve to die. 👉The irony of the Esther narrative is ironically appropriated!

Revelation 21-22 can be confusing! 🥴 This is how I interpret the broad structure:
