=Seek Mark''Drash'' דרש=Mark displays a knowledge s word play uses "the gospel of Jesus Christ" as the metaphor for the aleph. Jesus reconciled heaven and earth. He is the firmament between the water above (holiness) and the water below (grace). Consider Ge 1:2 "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of tool called the waters. " The word 'Drashmoved' דרש which means 'seek'to shake. When seeking, you have a clue The Spirit shook over the face of what you are looking forthe waters. In practice one compares and contrasts something known, with various things found. Mark knows what John was doing, and as he searched When the wind shakes over the scriptures, found a prophecy that looked like waters it could be comparedcauses waves.  He found Jesus rebuked the passage in Isaiah wind/spirit and relates it this way::the sea became calm. <ref>[[Mr 14:239]] As it is written in And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the prophetssea, BeholdPeace, I send my messenger before thy facebe still. And the wind ceased, which shall prepare thy way before theeand there was a great calm.:</ref> <ref>[[Mr 1Ps 107:329]] The voice of one crying in He maketh the wildernessstorm a calm, Prepare ye so that the way of the Lord, make his paths straightwaves thereof are still. He made peace. [[Ps 107:30]] Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.</ref>

He compares it with this::[[Mr 1:4]] John did baptize in the wilderness, The good news of Jesus Christ is that he made peace between God and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sinsman.:[[Mr 1:5]] And there went out unto him all Mark uses the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sinsaleph to express this.

Mark is summarizing what more than one prophet said: places the aleph; the "good news of Jesus Christ" into the heart of "As it is written in the '''prophets'''Son of God".Compare the "Son of God" with "The Son of God with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in his heart" Here are two prophets that say things similar to this::בר אלהים:בר א אלהים

=Compare=Now compare Mark 1:1 with Ge 1:1:[[Isa 40ראשית]] [[בר]] [[א]] [[אלהים]] [[Mr 1:31]] ¶ The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.:[[Mal 3בראשית]] [[ברא]] [[אלהים]] [[Ge 1:1]] ¶ Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

And here is Barashith bar a related one that Mark probably didn't understand but Matthew did <ref>Mark was comparing John to the prophecies above interpreting the revelatory voice of the king. Matthew saw John Elohim and Jesus together fulfilling the prophecy concerning Elijah, reading in the revelatory voice of the prophet. [[Mt 11:14]] And if ye will receive [it], this (John and Jesus together) is Elias, which was for to come.</ref>::[[Isa 42:16]] And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.Barashith bara Elohim

Mark does not stop '''[[Hint:]]''' Could these closely sounding phrases have started John thinking about [[ברא]] the "Word which created" and inspire him to begin his gospel with an exposition of [[Ge 1:1]]? Such puns and riddles are the foundation of the obvious comparisons, but uses those as way that Jesus and his disciples read the anchor to Old Testament scripture. From that anchor he will continue to interpret scripturescriptures.
