Preaching of John the Multitude

• During the reign of Tiberius Caesar the Roman
  Emperor
• Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea
• Herod being the tetrarch (king) of Galilee
• Annas and Caiaphas being high priests
• Note the meaning of Johns preaching (34)
• Note his reply to people, tax-collectors
  soldiers (310-14)

8
Repentance turning 38-14

• Repentance is not an abstract theological term or
  a matter of form or ceremony.
• But a radical change from a self-centered
  existence of greed, dishonesty, and discontent to
  a practical expression of moral and ethical
  relationship with others. (310-14)

9
Announcing the Messiah 316-17

• John is not the one. But Jesus is.
• Baptism in the Holy Spirit identifying as
  totally bounded to the Lord
• Fire either purify or destroys
• Salvation in Jesus Christ will be purifying for
  the true Jews who accept Him as Messiah but
  destructive for those who reject Him.

Threshing Floor explained.

• Spring is a time when the threshing floors
  are filled with the wheat harvest. The threshing
  floor is a flat bedrock surface surrounded by a
  low fieldstone wall, elevated for drainage and
  exposed to the wind for winnowing. A threshing
  sledge with teeth of iron or rock embedded in the
  bottom is pulled by oxen or donkeys. This breaks
  down the grain to separate the kernels from the
  husks and straw. The grain is then winnowed by
  throwing it into the air. The wind carries away
  the light chaff while the heavier kernels drop to
  the floor. In a land of uncertain rainfall,
  hopes and fears for the welfare and economy of
  the entire people focus on the threshing floor.
  Harvest is a time to celebrate the gift of
  continuing life for the community by giving
  praise to God.
