Since he left Jesus to confront Herod in The Chosen Season 2 Episode 5, John the Baptist has been on a path toward death. Since August, I've been predicting that John would die near the end of Season 3. As the Season 3 Finale approaches, the are several signs that my prediction will prove true:
+In the Gospel of Matthew, John's death causes Jesus to flee into the wilderness along with a large crowd, leading to the Feeding of the 5,000, an event we know will take place in the Season 3 Finale
+John's imprisonment has been small but important thread woven throughout the background of Season 3
+Season 3 has gone out of its way to knock out the remaining biblical scenes involving John or his disciples (e.g. the fasting discussion)
+Season 3 has been foreshadowing persecution and death since the premiere and John is the most obvious potential victim
In anticipation of his approaching death, here's some of my top content on John the Baptist for you to enjoy!
