Description
Part One Introduction In those days came JTB, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight (Matt 3.1-3 KJV) This paper will trace the unparalleled birth life ministry and subsequent resurrection of JTB. It will engage the theory of his fulfilling Malachi 4.5 “Behold, I will send you Elijah (1 Kings 17) the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the LORD." It will propose that JTB and his cousin Jesus Messiah had far greater plans than even Christendom has conceived of; JTB was in succession for the Priesthood of Israel but his untimely death set up Jesus to avenge JTB in destroying their worship (70 AD) but before this ensure his lineage when he resurrected him along with other holy people with Him. Matt 27.50–3 Additionally, Josephus will give insight into the ancient world as well as the Jewish Encyclopedia traits of JTB “Essene saint and preacher; flourished between 20 and 30 C.E.; forerunner of Jesus of Nazareth and originator of the Christian movement.” Most likely Greek and Aramaic will also be studied as well as commentators from the near past will give insight. At the inception of this presentation let us set the stage for the coming preaching and death of one of the most enigmatic and pivotal characters of all time JTB. This presentation will trace the unparalleled birth life ministry of JTB. Additionally, it will engage the theory of his fulfilling Malachi 4.5 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. It will propose that JTB and his cousin Jesus Messiah had far greater plans than even Christendom has conceived of; JTB was in succession for the priesthood of Israel but his untimely death set up Jesus to avenge him in destroying their worship (70 AD) with a twist.

Summary
Conclusion The OT ends with the promise of Elias; JTB ends this mystery as Jesus foretold. No greater was born of woman and this presentation bears witness to this fact. His birth announced by Angels and miracles attended his family there as well as on into his ministry as ‘Baptist’ and the strong stance against law breaking as well as strict adherence to diet and garments (Elijah’s duplicate). This Prophet was in line with the Priesthood but chose suffering and same much like his Blessed cousin Jesus the Nazarene. His priesthood was interrupted or even supplanted but with the sin of Messiah destroying the priesthood and Temple-City there can be made a case that proposes that as John is on earth, so Christ rules from Heaven and has left his priest till his bodily return. To understand modern Israel one need to find if there really is a case for JTB being alive throughout history since 70 AD. If this is true he has a place in modern Israel and may even have brought about many political situations in the Middle East, if true!

Excerpt
The plot thickens as JTB is murdered and then is in a higher form to witness the crucifixion. Baptist is beheaded by Herod “(Hebrew "go'el"): The Hebrew name for the clansman, "next of kin," upon whom devolved the duties: (1) of avenging, on the person of the murderer, the blood of a murdered kinsman—in this capacity the more specific term "go'el ha-dam" (blood-avenger) was generally used—and (2) of redeeming the property or the person of a relative that had fallen into debt.” Jesus as Kinsman Redeemer The Avenger of Blood In a case in which the verdict against the slayer was one of willful murder, the murderer incurred the blood-revenge without any restrictions. If he were already in a city of refuge, the elders of his own city were obliged to fetch him thence by force if necessary, and to deliver him formally to the Avenger of Blood, who thus became little more than a family executioner (Deut. xix. 11 et seq): Part Three Jesus then Baits the Jewish Leaders to Kill Him Jesus has set up Herod to kill his relative so He can destroy the Priesthood. It goes something like this: on the cross Jesus avenges JTB and destroys the Holy of Holies (the veil is rent and the Ark of the Covenant is not there) Jesus further destroys the Temple and Jerusalem in 70 AD ‘Destroy this ‘Temple and in three days I will raise it again.” Jn 2.19 (Maybe John’s ‘temple’ too). Image: WILLIAM BELL SCOTT RENDING OF VEIL The Classic Bait and Switch Meanwhile, JTB went ahead and as a forerunner in death (as well as in life) he has kept the law and did not deny Jesus; Christ needed a priest to ‘fulfill all righteousness,” and most likely JTB in the spirit offered the blood on the lid of the Ark that was buried beneath the cross in Jeremiah’s grotto. This account will come from outside Canon but is a useful historical reference. Jeremiah Hides the Tent, Ark, and Altar Although outside mainstream scripture this account uses some historical events such as Hanukkah used by Christ in the Feast of Lights (Jn 8.12):
