Jesus and His cousin John the Baptist came on the public scene at about the same time. John showed up first with a spectacular ministry of preaching down by the Jordan River in a wilderness area not far from the north end of the Dead Sea. Thousands of people came to see him and upon hearing him they repented of their sins and were baptized by him. It was there that Jesus came from Galilee to be baptized by John. John's voice rang out, and its echoes filled the Promised Land. The people of Israel were under the rule and oppression of the Romans and lived in expectation of the coming of the Messiah to deliver them. I can imagine that over the past thirty years the stories of the birth of Jesus by the shepherds, the appearance of the wise men, Herod killing all the boys under two years of age in Bethlehem, and the appearance of Jesus at the temple astounding the religious leaders, had spread across the land and when John showed up preaching, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 3:1-2), must have caused that expectation of the Messiah's coming to rise even higher! Luke tells in verses 15, that the people “were in expectation” and some people were confused by his crusade and wondered if maybe he was the Messiah. No doubt, the authorities were afraid of his influence with the multitudes, who believed him to be a prophet. Although he performed no miracles, his voice had an Elijah-like ring and his message had an unmistakable authority. As the days passed, more and more people even speculated that he might be the very Messiah Himself. In verses 16-18, John did his best to put a stop to their thinking this as he described the difference between his ministry and the ministry of Jesus. John said, “He indeed baptized with water”, because it was the seal of repentance that he required of his converts. But there was more to it than mere baptism in water. That was all well and good for a ministry of repentance. But he was there to announce the coming of One who would baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire (3:16). Between John and Jesus was a great gulf. John was a voice; Jesus was the Word. John had come in the spirit and power of Elijah; Jesus would come in the spirit and power of Jehovah. John's baptism related to repentance; Jesus' baptism related to regeneration (John 3:3-7). Had the nation responded to the ministry of John and the Messiahship of Jesus, then the baptism of the Holy Spirit would have been for Israel. As it was, that side of things was postponed for some two thousand years, and the Gentiles came into the blessing that the Jews had spurned. The baptism that John foretold took place on the Day of Pentecost when a small nucleus of believers were baptized by the Holy Spirit into the church, the mystical body of Christ (Acts 1:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:12-27; especially v. 13). John, of course, like all of the Old Testament prophets, knew nothing of the mystical body of Christ which we know as the church. All he discerned was that if Israel missed the baptism of the Spirit, they would be faced with a baptism of fire, which would be a judgment of fire. John made this clear in verse 17: “His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire." Yes, my friend, Jesus and His angels will gather “the wheat”, the genuine believer, into His dwelling place in heaven one day as He promised in John 14:2-3: “In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” But if you reject Jesus and His salvation, like the “chaff” you will face the judgement of “unquenchable fire”! To reject or receive Jesus is your choice! May the Lord help you to make the right one today! God bless!
Did otherworldly beings seed ancient civilizations? The strange anomalies of Maya history and other Mesoamerican cultures seem to indicate that. Who are the “creator beings” carrying seed bags that have been carved all around the world? Did they literally seed different civilizations throughout human history? Why did the Maya file their teeth down into points, flatten their heads, and have other bizarre beauty standards? Were they modeling something they were actually seeing? Between John's remote viewing data about other planets and ancient history, Rob's investigative research into the Olmecs and art, and a side conversation about modern explorations and propaganda, there's a lot to uncover. Join John Vivanco and investigative researcher Rob Counts for a show that's out of this world.
We have now reached a point in the book of Matthew where we see Jesus as an adult for the first time. But chapter 3 doesn't begin with Jesus immediately. We are first made privy to the ministry of John the Baptist, who is the one sent before Christ to prepare the way. Between John's work, the appearance of religious leaders to the scene, and the actual baptism of Jesus, Matthew 3 is a passage that is full of examples that give us a greater understanding of our Lord and the work he was sent to do.
Watch Metaphysical on YouTube Welcome back to the Metaphysical podcast for the third installment of a deep dive into the lost continent of Lemuria, Mt. Shasta in California, and the strange phenomena connecting the two. In this episode, John and Rob talk about the mysterious phenomena of missing people, and how it's not only common, but has been going on “forever,” according to a local sheriff. But there are a few missing people cases that honestly just don't seem to make sense. Why did they disappear? Were they taken by someone or something? What bizarre and startling information did a missing 3-year-old claim happened to him when he was “taken”? And what did John Vivanco's remote viewing data show happened to more missing people? Between John's data and the investigative research from Rob Counts, you're really in for a show that's out of this world.

Between John and a Hard Place Anita Yombo Interview with self-published author Anita Yombo #author #AnitaYombo Hi, and welcome to the show! On today's show I have the pleasure of welcoming Anita Yombo to talk about her journey as an author, and her book Between John and a Hard Place. Anita was born and raised in Kinshasa, the Capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her son. She has always been interested in psychology and is drawn to books about human experiences, and spends her free time reading and taking nature walks. Between John and a hard place is Anita's first novel. Here's an overview of what you will find inside this wonderful book… After her town in the Eastern Congo is ravaged by rebels, Grace escapes in the hope to find her family on the other side. She runs for several days until she finds John, a man who takes her in and helps her recover from her wounds. John promises to help her find her family no matter what. She has doubts about his intentions, but desperation and fear leave her no choice but to follow him. She ends up in the US with him and realises that the man who was supposed to help her, becomes her captor. She finds herself in an unthinkable circumstance and struggles to survive under John's captivity and sexual abuse. The woman next door, too curious for her own good, tries to get to know Grace and over time, she convinces her to open the door. Is it the beginning of a new friendship? Can she trust this woman? Grace shares her own poignant and sometimes bluntly hilarious observations about John and the contrasting cultures of her old and new homes steeped in contradictions and old customs.

"Don't wake the bear." In this episode, Dizzy F'N Reed is the bear... First in Ep. 81 we speak with John Corabi, vocalist of The Dead Daises and former Motley Crue. We discuss the Daises' new album and tour, as well as what was like working with Dizzy Reed and Richard Fortus in DD. How did he feel when Dizzy and Richard left to join the GNR reunion? After we speak with John, we talk with friend/Quiet Riot's Alex Grossi and were SUPPOSED to have Guns N' Roses' Dizzy Reed on too. Well, much like GNR, expect the unexpected. We end up having a lovely chat with Dizzy's wife, Nadja Reed. She contributed heavily to Dizzy's solo album, so there's plenty to discuss. Also, she faces the bear as we listen in to her waking Dizzy up from his hotel bed just to say hi to the fans! So we do get a cameo from Diz! Between John, Nadja, Alex...and a lil Dizzy...this is a fun conversation that goes all over, stemming from Guns N' Roses of course. Also stick around after the outro, as you can listen to the Dead Daises new single "Dead and Gone"!!
