~

Question 4: “Who were in the ‘crowds’?”

Answer: “There are always two groups of people. Some are in the Private Sector. Others are Government Employees. He said to both groups: ‘Whoever has two cloaks should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise.’

Question 6: “What was that Prophecy?”

Answer: “‘John answered them all, saying, ‘I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of His sandals.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.’

~
