John the Baptist's Prophetic Imagery
John the Baptist's work is examined by zooming in on the elements of Matthew 3 focusing on his Elijah-like attire, reminiscent of Esau's abandonment of his birthright. By wearing camel hair reminiscent of Esau's neglect, John calls people to repent and reclaim their chosen path, similar to Adam's forfeiture of his divine mandate.
