In order to do that, we look at some Easter eggs from the Hebrew Bible as Mark sets us for the coming of Jesus in this weird character of John the Baptistizer. As we will soon learn, far from being the weird aesthetic that we imagine with his camel hair shirt and his bizarre diet, John is doing something much more interesting and revolutionary that we miss.
