Therefore he sent s deputation to Jesus for light The prophets did not ee*. or at least did oot make dear, tba interval bo tween the ornctflxlon of Christ and Hla second coming. The two events were •o presented as to appear to be In close uocession. John In bis preaching has stressed the mighty Judgments which should take place at the appearance of tho Messiah.
