Quick, Fast and in a Hurry

And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.-Mark 1:23-31***During the lifetime of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), Isaac and Jacob (Israel), and during the era when their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, and during the 40 years that the Israelites were led through the desert wilderness before being led across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, and during approximately 330 years that the Israelites lived under the leadership of elders, judges, or their own minds, and during the approximately 450 years that the Israelites lived under the rulership of kings before both of the kingdoms in the Promised Land were conquered, there was no widely established system of synagogues among the Israelites. Months after Moses and his older brother Aaron led their fellow Israelites away from Egypt, the Lord God revealed that it was the duty of the priests to teach the Israelites the judgments and laws the Lord God gave for the Israelites. The Lord God commanded that only Aaron, and Aaron's sons, and the sons born to their descendants were to serve the Lord God as priests. Throughout the eras of the 2 kingdoms, Israel in the north and Judah in the south, the priests were not regularly teaching the Israelites. King Jehoshaphat was the 4th king to rule Judah. During the early years of Jehoshaphat's 25-year reign, Jehoshaphat sent a group of Levites, priests, and notables throughout Judah, and the Israelites were taught the laws that the Lord God gave Moses, and sometimes Aaron, for the Israelites. Over 800 years after Jehoshaphat's son Jehoram (Joram) became the 5th king to rule Judah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Synagogues were prominent throughout Galilee, Judea and all the other land whereupon the kingdoms of the Israelites previously stood.  Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men, including Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John, to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform, miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 10:1-20, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26 

Reference Scriptures:
And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.-Matthew 8:14-15

And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.-Luke 4:38-39
