Ep 18: John the Baptist, Elijah, and Can There Be More Prophets?


Listen Later

Who was John the Baptist? Why did he wear camel hair and live in the wilderness? What did he preach? Why did he baptize Jesus? We talk about all of this and more in this week’s episode! John the Baptist was a very significant figure in history that tied together the Old Testament and the New testament and prepared the way for the Messiah. There was confusion when he came about who he was (was he the Messiah himself? Was he Elijah reincarnated?) so today we are going into his full story, his purpose, and his death. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the episode


Verses discussed: John 1, Luke 1, Malachi 4, Matthew 17, Acts 3
