John the Baptist will come to convict the world of Answer, Truth and Spirit (heard a message?)

[Gottservant]

Hi there,

So you know that Jesus perceptively announced that the Holy Spirit would convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment? That is fascinating, but there is a truth in that, which is that God has a conviction for all of us to share with the world. Not only that, but everyone who is to come after us will have a conviction to share. Something to look out for, is the return of John the Baptist and his conviction.

John the Baptist when he returns, will convict the world of Answer, Truth and Spirit. Answer because the Word has no limit; Truth because Spirit is enshrined in truth; and Spirit because the soul is irrelevant to the Devil.

The center of this, is interesting, because it suggests the path that John the Baptist prepares for the coming of the Holy Spirit, will grow out of "the Word". As John's gospel says at the very start, "the Word became flesh". It seems the Holy Spirit will bring the Word being flesh, by becoming flesh Himself.

Of course the tribulation is coming and we dwelling in Heaven will have to deal with the anti-christ, but if the Holy Spirit becomes flesh, then at the rapture so will the faith - perhaps being enough to restrain the anti-christ, if we are diligent and the Lord is willing.

What will give us patience for all this? The knowledge that God is able to use our conviction for His Glory! Peace with God, having done all to convict the world, is a mighty prize in Heaven - let us press on!

The role of the Spirit was part of the plan of salvation. Jesus didn't perceive this knowledge, he p.anned it.

John the Baptist when he returns

Please supply your biblical evidence for this belief.

I told you: Jesus said the Holy Spirit would convict the world and He said the Holy Spirit would give of Jesus to us.

These two things put together, amount to the convictions of the faith being manifest, almost regardless of who they are (assuming they are willing) - there is no reason that Jesus would tell us of the conviction of the Holy Spirit, if He was not able to do the same for those who are important to Him (like John the Baptist).

If you need more faith, ask the Holy Spirit: He will tell you.

Hi @Gottservant .

Short commentary...what do you think?

Also, Luke says John the Baptist will have the spirit of Elijah (Luke 1:17).” John the Baptist functioned symbolically as a new Elijah, but he denied actually being Elijah in person (John 1:21). The New Testament repeatedly states that we will be resurrected, not reincarnated.

You shouldn't believe everything you hear.

Jesus said "Elijah coming first, is the same as John the Baptist coming first" and proverbs teaches that "the things that came in the beginning will come again"

You don't have to believe it, just check with the Holy Spirit.
