John in whom was conceived 6 months before Jesus on June 24th the day Gabriel came to Zacharias during the course of Abia. John that was born 6 months before Jesus 6 days before Passover on March 29th. John whom came from the wilderness and teaching 6 months before Jesus. John whom was murdered 6 months before Jesus was crucified. John the Baptist the cousin to Jesus was a chosen and last prophet to give the message the Lord has come. Kinda see a pattern with how God planned Johns conception and birth fall 6 months before Jesus

Karistone and Brotherton you are both right. John the Baptist was the greatest of Prophets (Matt. 11:9-11) and the privileged messenger who was sent to prepare the way of the Messiah according to the Word of God. There are four main texts used to verify this:
“For this is the one referred to by Isaiah the prophet, saying, ‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!” (Matt. 3:3).
“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way; 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.'” (Mark 1:1-3).
‘This is the one about whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.’ (Matt. 11:10).
“He [John the Baptist] said, ‘I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord.’ as Isaiah the prophet said.'” (John 1:23).
Clearly, John the Baptist was sent by God to prepare the way for Jesus as all four quotes above demonstrate. We must also note that in the four citations the Old Testament is quoted from two sources: Isaiah and Malachi.Isaiah 40:3, “A voice is calling, ‘Clear the way for the Lord [YHWH] 1 in the wilderness; make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.”
Mal. 3:1, “Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord [adonai], whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,” says the Lord [YHWH] of hosts.” The Messiah has been long called he that should come and John Baptist for a prophet, for he was God’s messenger, as the prophets were, and came on the same errand to the world that they were sent upon–to call men to repentance and reformation. 2. He is Christ’s harbinger: He shall prepare the way before me, by calling men to those duties which qualify them to receive the comforts of the Messiah and his coming, and by taking them off from a confidence in their relation to Abraham as their father (which, they thought, would serve their turn without a savior), and by giving notice that the Messiah was now at hand, and so raising men’s expectations of him, and making them readily to go into the measures he would take for the setting up of his kingdom in the world. Note, God observes a method in his work, and, before he comes, takes care to have his way prepared. This is like the giving of a sign. The church was told, long before, that the Messiah would come; and here it is added that, a little before he appears, there shall be a signal given; a great prophet shall arise, that shall give notice of his approach, and call to the everlasting gates and doors to lift up their heads and give him admission. The accomplishment of this is a proof that Jesus is the Christ, is he that should come, and we are to look for no other; for there was such a messenger sent before him, who made ready a people prepared for the Lord, Lu 1:17. -

Malachi 4:6
6And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.c Otherwise, I will come and strike the land with a curse.”John the Baptist was tasked with breaking the rebellious spirit of the fathers and their children. And if he didn’t succeed then God was going to destroy everything.
Talk about having the weight of the world on your shoulders. Sheesh.
