 Hi Mike!

 John Baptist certainly preached a lot; we have some of his utterances
 preserved for us in the Gospels (Matthew 3:1-12; Mark 1:3-8; Luke 3:1-18;
 John 1:19-28). His Elijah-like rebuke of Herod Antipas led to his death
 (Matthew 14:1-12; Mark 6:14-29). And he dressed like Elijah (Matthew 3:4;
 compare 2 Kings 1:8). Indeed he "was Elijah" (Matthew 17:12-13; Malachi 4:6)
 in a manner of speaking.

 ERRWSQE
