Point of info: Jesus called John the Baptist; Elijah. He said Elijah had come and had not been received, referring to John the Baptist. The Gospels are a continuation of Judaic culture and custom. Jesus himself was sent to the household of faith. He was not called to the Gentile people.

The three yr. time of Jesus ministry was the transition from the old covenant to the new.The gosples of Math.Mark,Luke and John is the teachings of the transition.

Re: Interesting thought on O.T. Prophets
WOW...this is so awesome ... In my post from South Brazil I mentioned one of the subjects I was teaching on was the Law...and that is exactly what I said...I was a little slow to say it as I too had not heard anyone say it...
Thank you Jesus for confirming this to me.
