1 | Did pharisees understand/epexct baptism | John 1:25 | elder4yhwh | 232954 | ||
Yes indeed it appears that they had some type of expectancy from the indidvuals listed. I can't find the word baptise in the Old Testament so that fact that John was baptizing people in repentance, and to put some much importance on it being carried out in one's life. In the Old Testament their was no forgiveness of sin unless you offered a sacificed animal. They understood the Law but for John to make that statement that lead me to believe that's why the question was asked. Now they read (Isa 40:3-5) that a voice was going to be crying in the wilderness and since John said he was that person Elias spoke of they automatically assumed that he was the Christ. (John 1:1-31) |

What we call baptism was the Jewish Mikvah or ritual cleansing. It was done beofore the High priest entered the Holy of Holies. It was done by anyone that wanted to enter the temple. It was done by women after their monthly cycle. It was viewed a bodily cleansing that represented a spiritual cleansing. Do some studies on the word Mikvah I think it wil help you on this subject. |
