Fig Tree Five
Chiastic structures were utilized by Bible authors to effectively communicate their intended messages.
These underlying structures not only shape the scriptures but also aid the audience in visualizing important concepts. A prime example of this can be found in the Gospel of Mark, where a chiastic structure introduces the Good News of God's impending reign and highlights Jesus as the anointed Messianic figure destined to become king. These opening verses not only serve as a powerful introduction but also set the tone for the events that unfold throughout the remainder of Mark's Gospel.
