The Ministry of John the Baptist as Testified in the Bible
We must believe as it is written in the Bible.
In the Old and New Testaments, the Bible testifies about John the Baptist in many parts. In the Old Testament, Isaiah 40:3 says, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God.” This is how it testifies about John the Baptist.
Also, in Malachi 4:5–6, it says, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” In this way, It is testified that the Elijah who was said to come was John the Baptist.
In other words, it is a word that God will send God’s servant like Elijah in the Old Testament, and it means that John the Baptist would perform a ministry like Elijah of the Old Testament, turning God’s people who had fallen into idolatry back to God. And it also states that those who do not turn back will be cursed by God.
Then what did Elijah do before God in the Old Testament?
At that time, the people of Israel believed in Baal, the god worshiped by the foreign queen who came to their country. So Elijah, the servant of God, competed with the servants of Baal to demonstrate which deity was truly the almighty God. Through this, he proved that Jehovah was truly the almighty God and turned the people of Israel back to God.
Also, how did Jesus testify about John the Baptist?
In Matthew 11:11, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist.” In other words, Jesus said that John the Baptist represented all humanity.
