A conclusion that is not quite so obvious when the hand inside the puppet that's hitting you is actually your spiritual enemy - Satan.

This introduction to the book of Mark reports on the title, author, outline, and date of writing. Since Mark’s Gospel is traditionally associated with Rome, it may have been occasioned by the persecutions of the Roman church in the period c. a.d. 64–67. The famous fire of Rome in 64—probably set by Nero himself but blamed on Christians—resulted in widespread persecution.
