Why This Matters

Daniel foretold that the Anointed One would be 'cut off' and have nothing—a shocking statement about the promised Messiah. Mark records the stark fulfillment: with a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last on the cross. The Messiah did not come to seize power but to be cut off for the sake of his people. His death was not a defeat but the culmination of Daniel's prophecy.
