The Time Had Come

Mark 1:2-3 (NIV)
2It is written in Isaiah the prophet:
   "I will send my messenger ahead of you,
      who will prepare your way"

 
3"a voice of one calling in the desert,
   'Prepare the way for the Lord,
      make straight paths for him.' "

The messenger would be the last of the prophets that would speak for God prior to the arrival of Jesus. God had not spoken through a prophet for a very long time. Now the silence would be broken. The Old Testament serves as testimony of another wilderness journey that took place. God chose a people out of the wilderness to make Himself known, to prepare the world for His coming.
The time had come.
