The figures attached to the journeys refer to [events mentioned in the first column on the opposite page]. A method for using these Journey maps is suggested in the section entitled Teaching Hints, in the [Appendix].
SIGNIFICANCE OF EVENTS.—The fulfilment of prophecy is strikingly shown in the events surrounding the coming of Christ and the preparation for his ministry; and the preaching of John the Baptist epitomized the message which Jesus was about to proclaim.
