Bible Question: Actually, I'm aware of this passage and the stated relationship but my question has more to due with the name "John". It is obviously significant. I'm wondering why? It's typical for Hebrew names to have meaning, is that the case here and how does it relate to Elijah or the name Elijah? The name is too much a part of the story to be cast off as insignificant and trivial. Anybody know? |
Bible Answer: Minachem: The meaning of "John" is "Jehovah has shown grace." --Hank |
