In his very accurate interpretation of the metaphysical significance of the relationship between John the Baptist and Jesus, Mr. Fillmore is careful to point out the importance of observing the proper sequence of orderly progress. He places intellectual understanding (John) as a prerequisite to spiritual illumination and power (Jesus). Under divine order certain preliminary things must be taken care of before the greater inflow of power occurs. This is the symbolism of John the Baptist being the "forerunner" of Jesus, but always acknowledging Jesus as being greater than himself.
