How does one interpret the Synoptic Gospels’ warning passages while affirming the irrevocable nature of salvation?

... It is precisely in this context that the wholly Markan feature (although in some cases and with different tones it is also found in the other two synoptics) of the so-called "messianic secret" (Blevins 1981;Tuckett 1983;Räisänen 1990) arises. God's preventive action takes on the appearance of mysterious, inescapable practice, incomprehensible to man, who will see it fully revealed only on the last day (Quinzio 1995, p. 514). ...

... It is telling that Mark's verb exoudeneō ("to treat with contempt") in Mark 9: 12 (only here in the NT) is used of the Suffering Servant in Isaiah 53: 3 (he will "be treated with contempt") in the LXX versions of Aquila, Symmachus and Theodotion. However, the noun form exoudenema, ("object of contempt") of Mark's verb is also used of the righteous sufferer in LXX Psalm 21: 7 (MT Ps 22: 7; ET 22: 6) (Pesch), and this psalm as well as other lament psalms will be important in Mark 15. (Hooker 1991) Ultimately, it is best to conclude that in regard to Mark's Passion predictions in general and Mark 10: 45 in particular, Mark (and perhaps traditions before him and Jesus himself) has drawn together various streams of scriptural expectation (lament; Psalms; Is 53; Dan 7) to interpret Jesus' sufferings and vindication (Davies and Allison 1997;Marcus 1993). As to whether or not the Suffering Servant prophecy was part of Jesus' own selfunderstanding, scholars differ widely (Bellinger and Farmer 2009). ...

... Nevertheless, Mark uses two Greek verbs in the perfect tense (πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς καὶ ἤγγικεν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ) which in this case picture the completed and ongoing potency of the actions. Gundry (1993) notes that the perfect tenses denote arrival, not imminence (p. 65). ...

Webb, 58 Paul Boyer, 59 Eugen Weber, 60 Richard Kyle, 61 and Damian Thompson,62 are just a few that refer to Cohn's work directly, and they almost all invariably refer to Christian eschatology as millenarian. Many others-including John J. Collins, Steven J. Stein, Bernard McGinn, 63 Brian E. Daley 64 and James D. Tabor 65 -while not referencing Cohn directly, still assert that the early Christians were preoccupied with an earthly millennial kingdom that they expected imminently. ...
