This week's lesson is about John the Baptist.

What a radiant, powerful voice that attracted crowds to leave Jerusalem and come to the wilderness to hear him.

And here's why.

This had been a period of silence of revelation in prophecy, at least as far as we know it.

Malachi is the last verse of the Old Testament and we don't have any

information on those 400 years until the coming of John the Baptist about revelation

of prophecy being received. We also know that Rome was in control of Judea.

Anas and Caiaphas were the high priests and who had put them in place?

The Romans.

That gives you a sense of how different that world was.
