Fire and Fulfillment

John the Baptist was called by Jesus the greatest ever born of woman - but just who was John and what's the significance of his connection to a group of desert doomsday preppers? This message from Matthew chapter 3 digs deep into John's ministry, rooted in Essene beliefs yet distinct in its method, and how his 'voice crying in the wilderness' prepared the way for Jesus. What if Jesus' baptism wasn't just to be a good example, but actually signifies the beginning of a new creation, and the fulfillment of everything the scriptures had been pointing to from the very beginning?
