St. John the Baptist Comments
John the Baptist was the son of Zachary, a priest of the Temple in Jerusalem, and Elizabeth, a kinswoman of Mary who visited her.

I believe we are in the times of Baptism by Fire leaving the age of Baptism by Water to cleanse the Earth of the impurities accumulated. I received Divine Light from my girlfriend, Kim. I felt dizzy after receiving today, it is a daily practice for us. She made me lie down and tucked me in. I fell asleep and went off to dreamland. I had a validating dream and I asked who it was validating me. He said his name was John. I asked "John who?" He replied "John the Baptist". Now that is cool!
