Song of the Baptist
Anton Raphael Mengs - St. John the Baptist Preaching in the Wilderness The wilderness embraces me. Sand and rocks surround my feet. The heat bakes my flesh. It is here, I stand in communion with Yahweh . I have sought solitude for my entire life, casting off the temple duties of my father to become a nomad. I feast daily on locusts and the wild fluids of nature. I hear the creator's voice and I know He hears me. The Lord tells me it is time to come out from the dessert. He, who I have waited for since the days in my mother's womb, is ready to claim the course of his life. I must make straight the path he is to follow and beckon the repentant to the Jordan's shore. I must journey from the solitude of the wilderness to the persecution of the world. copyright 2016 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author...
