Zechariah’s wife Elizabeth had just given birth to their son John (John the Baptist). Zechariah then named his son “John,” as God had directed. And then Zechariah, filled with the Holy Spirit, prophesied, saying, “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people...

Earlier this morning the Lord Jesus had me write on Matthew 11:7-10,16-19, but he had me skip over verses 11-15 because this is another whole subject. And so I am going to write about this one now. And I am including verse 10 here to give it context. For the passage is primarily about John the...

Matthew 11:7-10,16-19 ESV As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings'...

Luke 7:24-27 ESV “When John's messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are dressed in splendid clothing...

'When the baby was eight days old, they all came for the circumcision ceremony. They wanted to name him Zechariah, after his father. But Elizabeth said, “No! His name is John!” “What?” they exclaimed. “There is no one in all your family by that name.” So they used gestures to ask the baby’s...

I so look forward to meeting John the Baptist. I believe that he is a prime example for us, in these last days. He was not worldly, he dressed very simply and ate very simply. The Bible says, "John's clothes were woven from coarse camel hair, and he wore a leather belt around his waist. For food...

Baptized twice! Once by John/in preparation to meet the Lord & A 2nd time In Jesus Name for the remission/forgiveness/pardon from sin. Acts 13: 23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: (MY NOTE: Paul teaches a God given promise in scripture...

Why did John the Baptist continue his separate ministry and group of disciples if he recognized Jesus as God incarnate? In the case where he didn't fully recognize Jesus as the Messiah, why did he have to send messengers to determine this? Was he Jesus's cousin? Why did his disciples exist as...

We know that Jesus himself was baptised by immersion in water (Matthew 3). John the Baptist preached that "one would come after who would baptise with spirit and fire", however, Jesus does not appear to have baptised anyone via immersion in water and yet, the apostles clearly did this long...

This art is about John the Baptist. In Hebrew, he is known as Yochanan ha-matbil. In Arabic he is called Yahya. He was from the same bloodline as Jesus Christ. John was the forerunner, or herald, of the Messiah. John echoed the words of the Prophet Elijah, written in the Book of Isaiah. He was...

Levitical priestly order is established/begins here at Aarons ordination: Lev 8:1-2 God tells Moses; get some anointing oil, vs 6 now wash (full mikveh/baptism) Aaron & his sons with water, vrs 7-9 dress them up in Priestly garments, vs 12 put the anointing oil on Aaron's head to sanctify/set...

Each year I seem to get given the John Baptist sermon slots. Last year I focused on him as a prophet and his testimony to Christ. Rather than repeating myself this year I thought I would take a look at his relationship with the various Jewish theological groups of the time and contrast the truth...

At first, I was thinking Trump was like a John the Baptist figure. Indeed he is a fiery preacher from the wilderness. But he is from the political wilderness, a political preacher... not a holy man like John the Baptist. That does not fit. However, based upon Trump's Christian friendly...

This short video looks at: - New archeology - A detailed description of Jesus from a prefect who saw him close up - John the Baptist - The very place of temptation - A deadly precipice And more surprises

John the Baptist was not politically correct. Should we tell the truth, even if it costs us our heads? Or, should we water down the truth and play it safe? I made some sequential art about John the Baptist and express my opinion about this. At this time, it seems to me that the church is...

(1) How does Josephus' depiction of John the Forerunner's baptism compare with the Christian understanding of Christian baptism? (2) Does Christianity follow this model: The believer repents of their sins, accepts Christ's sacrifice, receives the...

We're in Advent now, and one of the common texts preached on is Luke 3:1-18. Isaiah 40:3-5 is quoted by Luke in this passage, with the clear implication that John is this preparatory "voice." Malachi 3:1-5 is another passage that is used in this connection. I would really like to hear some...
