Publisher's Synopsis
One of the great enigmas in the Bible is that concerning John the Baptizer. While the physical aspects of who he was are quite apparent from the Scriptures, the spiritual aspects are ambiguous. We know that he was the one who was ordained to "Prepare ... the way of the Lord," "to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." There is, however, another aspect of John's identity that is often overlooked. On at least two separate occasions Jesus indicated that John was more than just someone who was born to be His forerunner. This short study not only examines many of the details of John's life, but also attempts unravel the mystery about who he really was. Finally, by using the example of John the Baptist, this book also looks at how the Faithful God fulfills His promises and purposes despite having to deal with unbelieving man.
