00:00He knew he was going to die, and he preached anyway.
00:04John the Baptist was not a gentle man.
00:07He lived in the wilderness, ate locusts and wild honey, wore camel skin.
00:12And he had one message that he refused to stop saying.
00:16Repent. The kingdom of heaven is near.
00:20Kings feared him.
00:22Crowds followed him into the desert just to hear him speak.
00:25He baptized thousands in the Jordan River, including Jesus himself.
00:30But John did something that cost him everything.
00:34He looked directly at King Herod, the most powerful man in the region,
00:39and told him to his face,
00:41What you are doing is wrong.
00:44Herod threw him in prison.
00:46His wife wanted more. She wanted his head.
00:50And on one single night, at a birthday party,
00:53A dancing girl made one request.
00:56And John the Baptist was executed.
00:59No trial.
01:01No mercy.
01:02No last words recorded.
01:05He came to prepare the way.
01:08And the world silenced him for it.
