Nice, very nice! Will be I think a most useful (productive call) worship opener at gatherings of the saints as the Spirit swirls about the gathered corporate body of Christ Jesus.

"The Efficacy of Water Baptism" Starting  with a definition of efficacy, if the one below is acceptable, then  I end up wondering what was the need or desired effect that Yeshua required from John The Baptist for  himself? efficacy /ĕf′ĭ-kə-sē/ noun Power or capacity to produce a desired effect; effectiveness.  Power to produce effects; operation or energy of an agent or force; production of the effect intended.  "the efficacy of medicine in counteracting disease; the efficacy of prayer." Similar: efficacy Ability to produce a desired amount of a desired effect.  The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition    Jesus came to be baptized by John did he not? Matthew 3:13-14. It is recorded that he said it is fitting for him to be so baptized.   So if it was fitting, and efficacy is  for a desired effective change, what change did Jesus desire or need for himself that he insisted on John's water baptism for repentance for himself?   p.s. BTW the thread is a good one, one for all of little or much understanding. May many gain useful insight for themselves that leads to further reading the word of God. Reading with prayer, thinking, and yes much questioning. For questions lead to more prayer and reading  perhaps with gaining  insight through the Holy Spirit's guidance.

Daniel 9:26-27  And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.” Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time. Daniel 7:25 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/dan.7.25.NKJV   Copied from Ryan Moon, but there's a video in the link so I can't post it: The rise of the Antichrist (Rider on a White Horse, Rev. 6:1-2) - War & civil upheaval (Rider on a Red Horse, Rev. 6:3-4) - Famine & poverty (Rider on a Black Horse, Rev. 6:5-6) - Death of 25% of population (Rider on a Pale Horse, Rev. 6:7-8) - Believers are martyred (Rev. 6:9-11) - Devastating Earthquake (Rev. 6:12-17)   So he doesn't sit in the temple immediately, but after 3,5 years. Christians aren't immediately martyred. The uncountable multitude is revival and those get killed. Revelation 7 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”     Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the [d]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [e]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.   So he gets revealed when he makes the peace treaty for 7 years and the church is taken out of the way and after 3,5 years he goes sit in the temple.    

Luke 18:1-8 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?   I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Keep praying.  God does not tire of your requests like worldly men.  He wants to have an ongoing conversation with you.  And he doesn't answer prayers because he hopes you will then leave him alone.  He listens to, and answers, prayers because he loves you.

EREV PESACH  (First Night of Passover)      Tonight is April 22nd, The First night of Passover.  It must have been a night like this about 3500 years ago that thousands of lambs were sacrificed, and their blood placed on the doorposts of those houses.  This was done per instructions via Moses, and Moses received these instructions directly from God.       That night would be the night of all nights.  A night to remember.  Freedom from slavery was at the door.  God himself would pay a visit to the Egyptians, a visit of death.  Death to the firstborn of Egypt.  A debt would be collected.  Lives would be demanded.  Yet there would be a substitute.  Or rather, substitutes.  Those were the lambs and goats that were sacrificed.  Their blood on the doorposts of the houses in Goshen would be a reminder that "blood was already shed in this house."  That household was obedient to the instructions.  That household was redeemed by the blood of that lamb.  So, on to the next house.  Would that household be obedient?        That Passover night a cry went out in all the land of Egypt.  Judgment was dished out to Pharaoh's household and all the Egyptians.  Were there Egyptians who put blood on their doorposts?  Perhaps a few since a "mixed multitude" left Egypt in the morning.  There were some Egyptians who placed their trust in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of Israel.        The final plague gave the death blow to Egypt.  Egypt was defeated and humiliated, and God's people were set free, free from the bondage of slavery, free to follow a new master, a master who would love them and who would, someday, give up his own life for them.       About 1500 years later, another scene was taking place on a night like this, the first night of Passover. Our Messiah was in a large room and was gathered with his disciples.  It would be the final Passover supper with them.  They would have roasted lamb with bitter herbs and a sweet mixture of fruit and nuts with honey.  Unleavened bread of course was there along with wine.  The Unleavened bread spoke of Yeshua the Bread of Life.    All participated, all but one, the betrayer, Y'hudah, a man from Kariot, who learned nothing from the Master, who placed more importance in pocket change than a change of heart.        The bread was broken to symbolize Messiah's body which would soon be broken and torn apart by Roman fists and a flagellum.  Wine was drunk to symbolize the blood of Messiah which would be spilled.  The blood that brought back memories of the blood of lambs and goats 1500 years before on the first Passover night in Egypt.  Yeshua would be those Passover lambs.  As the Passover lambs were the substitutes for death back then, Yeshua would be the one and only Passover lamb to be our substitute in death.  He would take the curse of sin and death upon himself, and by His sacrifice, we would gain eternal life.        Is the Passover Lamb part of your life?  Have you invited the Passover Lamb to live inside you?  If not, Passover would be the perfect time for such an invitation.     Happy Passover. If you have never celebrated Passover, it's not too late.
