9. Malachi 3:1 Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts. Isaiah 40:3 The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God. 9

10. John the Baptist Mark 1:1-3 1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight; 10

12. Use of parables Isaiah 6:9-10 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed. Note order: heart, ears, eyes – eyes, ears, heart From heart corruption flows to ears and eyes 12

13. Use of parables Mark 4:12 that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them. What about us today? Do we let our hearts draw us away? 13

16. Empty ritualism Mark 7:6-7 6 And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honored me with their lips, But their heart is far from me. 7 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. This is a real challenge for us today. 16

20. Hardened hearts Ezekiel 12:2 Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house. Mark 8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? Notice how many times see and hear are used. 20

22. Punishment of Hell Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Mark 9:48 where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. That’s a very sobering thought. 22

25. Male and Female Mark 10:6-8 6 But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; 8 and the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh. 25
