The Baptist, is part of the First and Second Son Theme. The first son represents the flesh, the second the Spirit. The first loses his inheritance, the second gains it. Haran and Abram, Abram and Abraham. Ishmael and Isaac. Esau and Jacob. Jacob and Israel, Saul and David, Elijah and Elisha... it is a long list which includes John and Jesus, Adam and Jesus. The first son is not the light. The second son is made Holy and obtains the inheritance. | The Baptist, is part of the First and Second Son Theme.

"The world knew him not" sounds redundant to "his own received him not" but they are opposite sayings. The world did not 'know' Jesus in 'marriage'. The Hebrew word for marriage is also 'doctrine'. Jesus was untouched by the teaching of the world though he was in the world. He is the untaught teacher, the unleavened bread. His own did not receive his teaching, they did not receive him. | "The world knew him not" sounds redundant to "his own received him not" but they are opposite sayings.
