Many commentaries notice the statement but have little to say about it. The eating of locusts and wild honey was indeed a prophetic picture of the heart-cry of God and His desire to bless His people, if only they would turn back to Him.My sentiments are the same.

Isaiah (ch. John seems to be the pivotal stake in the ground figure, with one foot in the Old Covenant/Kingdom and the other in the New. The Consumer is being consumed. Joel 2 ends with a triumphant declaration of God’s salvation when he pours out his Spirit (Joel 2:28-32). (3:4) Mark's gospel does precisely the same (1:2-6). Since Mark is likely the first Gospel written, I’ll start there recognizing that what is true for Mark is also true for Matthew and Luke.For years I’ve puzzled over the description of the John the baptizer as eating locust and honey (Mark 1:6). Well let me suggest a reason. Then God instructs him to lie on his right side for 40 more days and prophesy against it. Indeed, all four gospels explain the ministry of John the Baptist as the fulfillment of the words of Isaiah 40:3:"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight," (Matt.

And finally, the shame of their long exile is coming to an end when YHWH himself returns to his people (Joel 2:27):Anyone who heard John in those days would have gotten the idea that the current invaders and consumers (the Roman occupiers) were going to meet their match when enough of God’s people repented and submitted to John’s baptism.

Thank you!Not sure how I stumbled onto your blog, but here I am!! Is the statement about John eating (present participle; Mark 1:6) designed to present him as a desert-dwelling ascetic with odd habits? 3:3, Mark 1:3, Luke 3:4, John 1:23).Locusts and other grasshoppers and crickets were permitted as food under the Mosaic law in Leviticus 11:22. (Luke 7:24, Matt. And maybe he’s also functioning as not just the precursor to Jesus, but as a precursor to Jesus’ followers. In Mark 1:6, John the Baptist is described, "John wore clothing made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey."

Luke's Gospel never defines the particular diet. The key word here is ἀκρίς, meaning locusts.

John the Baptist. The Arabs eat them to this day; but they are considered as a common and inferior kind of food.

Well consider the prophetic record and what locusts represent. Jeremiah (ch. Leviticus 11:22 ESV / 75 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful Of them you may eat: the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind. I welcome your thoughts and comments.One thing does come to mind: this would go well with other judgment/salvation pairings in John’s message, e.g., baptism of fire/baptism of holy spirit; chaff blown away from threshing floor/wheat stored.Interesting take on it… and worth the additional time it will take to develop.
