A Voice crying out of the wilderness

Did you know.. the text of chapter 40 of the Book of Isaiah (Isa. 40:3) corresponds to the text of the 40th book of the Bible, which is the first book of the New Testament (Matthew 3:1)

Isaiah 40:3 -
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness:

“ Prepare the way of the LORD;
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God." "


Matthew 3:1 -
"In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying:

“ The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘ Prepare the way of the LORD;
Make His paths straight.’”

These are the words spoken by John the Baptist who announced the coming of the Kingdom of God and the Gospel.

WOW!!!
