John came onto the scene during an unsettled time in Judea's history. Following the independent rule of non-Davidic kings, Judea came under the rule of Rome. The populace was influenced by new and divisive voices. Should the people cooperate or oppose the Romans? How can a faith Jew maintain purity in the midst of Gentiles? How could the faithful truly follow God's Law? John's voice cut through these issues with a clarity. Repent, for no one is good enough for the Kingdom. Only a repentant heart can be received into the Kingdom.
