A lot of times when we look at an event in history, we can look at a time previous and see that there is a long history to that event. Mark presents to us the arrival of John the Baptist calling people to prepare the way of the Lord and to make straight their paths. No one knew at the time but forty years later, the Jewish state would cease to exist until 1948.Tthe Roman empire would begin its slide into oblivion and a whole new understanding of who we are as human beings would spread throughout the known world. So, as people look to this moment and St. Mark writes about it, few were aware that history is about to take a whole new path.
