Jesus’ Enemies Ascend in Their Mythological Heroic Recovery – Mark 13:1–37

In this brief excerpt from the course, Jesus and Myth, Dr. Barber discusses how Jesus engages in His unique 'Enemy Ascendant' motif, in which He demonstrates that He is God Almighty and will be finally victorious in His own perfect time, despite how His enemies seem to be gaining the upper-hand.

In His present time, despite being about to suffer and die a horrible death, Jesus demonstrates His deity, and that everything is unfolding according to His purposed prophetic plan for the present, the future, and eternity.

Israel’s leaders in the process of Scapegoating Jesus, are engaging in the Heroic Recovery of the myth-culture’s pattern.

Jesus uniquely subverts and inverts the pattern of myth-culture in which all of the rest of us walk. We walk in the way of sinners, Jesus alone in the way of divine perfection.

Are you engaged in myth’s heroic recovery against Jesus your Deliverer, walking in myth’s pattern? Or are you faithfully trusting in Jesus to Deliver you, as He did for you at the Cross, and will also when He returns?
