Book Of Mark: Tribe Parables

The Bible is broken down into 66 individual books that form the Canon. There is an inspired order to those book which is discussed on www.BookOrderBible.org. That order is unique in that the narrative of the Bible is structured so that it constantly replaying in a summary form the 66 key points covered by the 66 books of the Bible. Mathmeticians call this type of design a fractal.

One such 66 book replay spans the books of Mark, Luke and Acts. Mark thus starts out covering material from Genesis, while the end of Acts ends with material from Revelation.

Mark's contribution to the Mark-Luke-Acts replay is to provide narrative for only the creation week narrative of Genesis. This is the slowest paced contribution to the replay system found anywhere in scripture. The creation week narrative thus provides the overall structure for the Book of Mark.

Mark's Major Divisions

Mark has 7 major divisions, each following the corresponding creation day. Within those 7 major divisions, Mark follows the narrative of the corresponding creation day, telling parables based in the general content of the Creation Week narrative for that day.

  • Day 1: Spirit over water Mark 1:1 - 1:15. Mark deals with John's baptism

Mark's internal structure maps the 7 days of creation to 7 distinct sections. In each section of Mark, the content and parables play off of the narrative in the corresponding creation day story.

Example: Creation day 3 is when God brought forth vegetation.

1 Genesis 1:12 12וַתּוֹצֵ֨א הָאָ֜רֶץ דֶּ֠שֶׁא עֵ֣שֶׂב מַזְרִ֤יעַ זֶ֙רַע֙ לְמִינֵ֔הוּ וְעֵ֧ץ עֹֽשֶׂה־ פְּרִ֛י אֲשֶׁ֥ר זַרְעוֹ־ ב֖וֹ לְמִינֵ֑הוּ וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־ טֽוֹב׃ (WLC)

1 Genesis 1:12 12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (KJV)

And in the 3rd division of Mark, Jesus deals with parables focused on vegetation.

42 Mark 4:3 3Listen; Look, a sower went out to sow. (BRB)

And so on through the day.

Mark's subdivisions

The 7 major divisions of Mark each have 12 subdivisions. This is following the general structure of the clock, where there are 12 hours in the daylight portion of the day. Those 12 hours of the day, form 12 parables for each creation day. Those 12 parables also map, usually 1-to-1 with the 12 corresponding tribes. This means that Mark provides a major prophetic statement about the nature of each of the tribes.

Note the order that mark follows is the same as the list of tribes given in Revelation 7, and not the order given in Genesis.

Note also the structure of Genesis is to skip the evening time, with an expression like "...then there was evening, then there was morning..." This structure is used by Mark by only dealing with 12 hours of daylight, and not a full 24 hour day, nor with watches of the night.

What follows here is a review of each creation day text from Genesis, followed by the corresponding passages from Mark, broken down by tribe.
