Israel is Egypt. For Israel to become Israel again, she had to go back out to the wilderness, where John ministers, and she’s going to have to cross the Jordan all over again.

John’s baptism is the blood on the doorposts that marks the homes of Israel, protecting the marked ones while the angel of death destroys the Egyptians who have taken over the promised land.
