(Revelation 3:11-13 NIV). Once again we have a renewal of Jesus' wonderful promise, "I am coming quickly" soon am I

Tsunami wake up Judge wake up you are invited to my wedding Judge Matthew 3:11 is March 11th in Japan March 11, 3/11 tsunami 3-11 behold the verse of the third chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. The verse occurs in the section relating the preachings tsunami predicts that he will be followed by someone much greater than himself. The main theme of this verse is that John will soon be supplanted by a much greater figure and the John's water wave is just a preparation for the much greater baptism by fire and spirit that will occur under the second coming of the Christian messiah Jesus, an original Christian concept that, according to Jewish scholars, lacks any fundament in the Hebrew scripture.

 

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:

3:11

I indeed baptize you with water unto

repentance. but he that cometh after

me is mightier than I, whose shoes I

am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize

you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

The New International Version translates the passage as:

 

"I the Christian baptism ritual, but he does not believe that Jesus' baptism by fire and holy spirit can be so linked.

 

Whether the more powerful one coming after is a reference to God or Jesus is a matter of debate. After this verse Jesus immediately enters the narrative, and the corporeal metaphor of carrying his shoes would seem to describe a human figure. On the other hand this violent imagery contradicts the idea of the Messiah as a bringer of peace. Schnackenburg argues the wording in this passage is deliberately obscure between the two options.
