Mary's Testament of the Nativity and the Destiny of John the Baptist - Paperback

by Philip Robinson (Author)

The interwoven story of two births - those of John the Baptist and of Jesus of Nazareth - is a story that appears in the first chapter of Luke's Gospel as (apparently) Mary's account in a single narrative, bound together by the visitation of the Angel Gabriel to two different homes, first in Judea, then six months later in Galilee. Of course the two lives interwoven were not of equal status. John the Baptist, born of an earthly father was to be the 'herald' of the Messianic King and to 'prepare the way' for him. But Jesus Christ, born of a Heavenly Father, was the child 'born to be King' in fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets. "Mary's Testament" is the nativity story of both births as told by Mary. In this book the author unravels the Biblical record in detail, exploring the prophetic connections between the two births and the two ministries with dramatic effect.
