Mr 1:5 - Sensus Plenior

Mr 1:5

Mr 1:5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sin

the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem

Though Jerusalem is the very naval of Judea, this is not redundant. When there are two things together they represent two aspects of the same thing. Rather than say there were two types of people whio came, it is more proper to say that those who came had two natures. Judea, (or Judah) יהודה is the name Yahweh יהוה with his command ד. They were the commanded of God. But they did not understand teh law, so they were commanded in the flesh. This is highlighted by the use of the word 'land' suggesting their earthly nature.

'Jerusalem' means 'teaching of peace'. Their spiritual nature was a desire for peace with God. Their repentance also had two natures: an earthly nature of physical baptism, and a spiritual nature of confession.

river Jordan

River Jordan or the 'waters/word of the descender'. Jesus is the one who descended from heaven. This is the second riddle saying that they were baptized in the teaching or word of Christ.

confessing their sins

It was prophesied that John would be an effective preacher. Following the prophecy of Mal 3:1 that there would be a forerunner [1], Malachi also says that he will be effective in his preaching so that they are ready for the Lord. [2]

John is doing this to help keep the Messiah from stumbling (make his paths straight). When Jesus saw the multitudes who has confessed their sins, he had compassion on them. [3] [4] [5] [6] Those who has confessed their sin helped encourage him toward the cross in his compassion.
