G-d's calendar: 8th day, 2nd month, year 5771

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Luke 1:76
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

Although these particular verses were spoken regarding specific individuals, there were three factors I would like to mention. Although one passage is Old Testament and one is New, both men were born and called to specific ministries, yet both of these specific ministries are literally still to be repeated. Jeremiah, the prophet was calling a nation to repentance. John the Baptist, spoke of repentance and heralded the arrival of Messiah. There is certainly still a need fr a call to repentance and the absolute certainty of Messiah's return should be on the lips of G-d's servants today.
