Surprise of the Day

How did people know that wild-looking hermit, John the Baptist wearing camel’s hair and leather, was a prophet of God?

Matthew 3:1-6  –  Malachi 4:5-6  –  II Kings 1:8

Fact of the Day

The prophet Malachi predicted Elijah would introduce the Messiah to the world when he finally came.  John dressed like Elijah did – in the clothing of prophets, a precedent set by Elijah.
