The life and ministry of John the Baptist was prophesied about in Isaiah chapter 40. Using verses 1-5 we have been for the last couple of weeks learning what these verses have to teach us about authentic revival. As we look at John, whose ministry it was to prepare the way for Messiah to come to His people, we will see how this truth relates to the true church, who is called of God to prepare the way for the Holy Spirit to come to those who are genuine followers of the Savior.
