Mark 11:11 — Jesus evaluating the temple fulfills Malachi 3:1 ("the Lord will suddenly come to his temple"). This is the culmination of Mark's opening quote and his subtle deity Christology.

Jesus will not allow a limited Christology — the Messiah is not just the son of David but God Himself. Mark supports this throughout: Isaiah 40:3 applied to Jesus (Yahweh's coming), Jesus walking on water (quoting Job where God walks on water), the demoniac telling what "the Lord/Jesus" did.

Jude 9 — Michael disputing with Satan over Moses's body and saying "the Lord rebuke you" — is the most interesting passage in the debate. If Jude alludes to Zechariah 3:2 (where it is Yahweh himself speaking those words), then identifying Michael with Jesus would actually require elevating Michael to divine status, not demoting Jesus. Either way, Jude 4 calls Jesus our "only Master and Lord" in the same letter.
