Mark 11–12- "Whatever You Ask" for the Missionary Purposes of the Eschatological Temple: Quotation and Typology

  • Technical
  • Nicholas G. Piotrowski

This article shows how Mark 11–Mark 12, and the Old Testament quotations therein, expound typological correspondences with Israel’s historic temple. That temple is judged and a new temple is erected, the temple of the community of Christ's followers. In the process, Mark 11:24 becomes clear: “whatever you ask in prayer” is meant in reference to the ministrations of the temple now fulfilled in such followers. In short, the events of Mark 11–12 comprise an extended temple antitype.

If God were obliged to be gracious, grace would no longer be grace and salvation would be based on human merit rather than being sola gratia. James Montgomery Boice
