1 Nephi 10:7

7  And he spake also concerning a aprophet who should come before the Messiah, to prepare the way of the Lord—
      "to prepare the way of the Lord"
            -What does this mean?  What needed prepared?  How did John accomplish this?  What would have been different if there was no John the Baptist whose preaching came before Jesus?  What impact did John have on the people, on attitudes and actions? 
            -where did John receive his training for his mission?  How did he know what his purpose was?  He was the first convert to Christianity.  His testimony that Jesus was the Messiah preceeded that of Peter or any of the apostles.  He was literally a man before his time.  He was the first missionary of the meridian of time. He was also the first Christian martyr. 
-is there a significant difference in what John did if the word “for” was used in place of the word “of”?
