” Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 3:2). During the reign of Tiberius Caesar in 26 A.D. (Luke 3:1) a young man (John) was sent to be a messenger to prepare the way for the Messiah who would be revealed during this young man’s ministry. This young man lived in the wilderness, the desert area of Judea; he wore garments made of camel’s hair and wore a leather girdle around his waist; his diet consisted of locusts and wild honey.
