87. Mark 1-5

The Parousia has occurred. The spiritual power is at work. The 5000 are fed. Jesus appears to the disciples by the lake. The 4000 are fed in an even more spiritual way. The Kingdom of God is now at work, the scribes are excluded from it. They shall have no sign. He now also works on that which is beyond the Jewish people, if they have “trust”. But only on this. The “blind man” is healed. Peter speaks of him as the Christ. But when he is supposed to understand that he must speak of the Kingdom of God, he still does not understand. The transfiguration, when Peter, James and John enter into the Kingdom of God, is taking place. Elijah has returned. But this must be understood. One can only be healed by one who fasts and prays. The Kingdom of God must be felt “disembodied”. (Pluck out your eye and hand). Man must surrender to it completely. Even in childhood. The Kingdom of God requires a different order.
