According to Mark's account, the Son of God has appeared on earth. Pretty big deal, right? But for Mark, much more is in store for a future when everything will be transformed from the bottom up. Here's Mark's big plan: Jesus will return leading a crew of angels, gather his followers together, and institute a brand of justice and transparency that the world's never seen. Included in this vision are a transfer of power and a judgment on the people responsible for Jesus's death.
Welcome to the land of Mark's apocalyptic world-view. Just like West Virginia, it's wild and wonderful.
Questions About Dreams, Hopes, and Plans
- What does the future hold for Mark? When will everything happen? How can we arrange key events chronologically? How will various groups of people end up?
- What happens to you if you don't belong to any of the groups that are mentioned?
- What are people supposed to do in the meantime? Do people have anything to contribute or are these exclusively God-powered events?
