Yahshua took the time to walk everyone through the different facets and features of John’s ministry so that they could focus on what was coming that was so different than what was being experienced. Paul’s advice in situations like this is to invite the light of Yahweh’s glory to expel the darkness by walking “circumspectly” around an issue until you see what Yahweh sees and execute an accurate response that contributes to the change and transformation coming.
