The Lord Jesus is Jehovah in Gospel of Mark

Did Mark believe Jesus Christ is Jehovah? Yes!

The Apostle started his gospel by quoting Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3 and mixed them both in way to show John the baptist is the voice in the wilderness preparing the way for the Lord Jesus Christ coming to his temple

 

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
As it is written in the Prophets:

“Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You. ”[Mal 3:1]
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord;Make His paths straight.” [Isa 40:3]

John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
Now John was clothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
And he preached, saying, “There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
Mark 1:1-7

 

The author went straight to it in chapter two to prove Jesus Christ is God in flesh by recalling a story where Jesus Christ forgave sin of a person which is a thing only God can do.

 

And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house.
Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.
Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men.
And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
“Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Mark 2:1-7

 

The reason our Lord was speaking in parables to indicate that he is the Lord who was speaking in Isa 6:9-10.

10 But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.
11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,
12 so that‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn,And their sins be forgiven them.[Isa 6:9-10
Mark 4:10-12

 

 The Lord first miracle which it was calming the storm, again something only Jehovah can do. Psa 89:9

37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”
39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still! And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
Mrk 4:37-39

-cf

You rule the raging of the sea;
When its waves rise, You still them.
Psa 89:9

 

 In chapter five we read that when Our Lord Jesus Christ healed demon possessed person with two thousands spirits asked to go and tell the people what the LORD has done for you. Mark 5:1-20

18 And when He got into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him.
19 However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.”
20 And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.
Mark 5:18-20

 

Our Lord has the ability to foretell future events, therefore he was able to predict his death and rising from the dead after three days. Jehovah alone can foretell future events according to Isa 42:9

31 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Mark 8:31

-cf

Behold, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Isa 42:9

 

Jesus Christ is the Lord who comes to His temple and cleans it from money changers and those who sell doves.

15 So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.
16 And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple.
17 Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ 
Mrk 11:15-17

-cf

Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” says the Lord
Jr 7:11

 

The Trinity by our Lord Jesus Christ and how there is two Lords in heaven but they are one.

28 Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”

29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

32 So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.
33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”

But after that no one dared question Him.

35 Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
36 For David himself said by the Holy Spirit:

‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

37 Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; how is He then his Son?”
Mrk 12:28-37

-cf

The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
Psa 110:1

 

Those were 6 bullet point to show Jesus Christ is Jehovah

 

Maranatha!

 

In Christ,
