The Good, the Bad, and the Great Personality (John 1:23)

This verse gives me an image straight out of a Spaghetti Western. The screen is filled with a desolate landscape complemented by a booming soundtrack with a lot of whistling. There'd be lots of close-ups alternating between characters with each transition moving even tighter on the actor. After about 20 minutes of that, the music would screech to a halt, followed by an close-up so severe you can count the nose hairs! Cue John the Baptist as the voice in the desert.

The picture also works for Isaiah 40:3 since that's the Old Testament verse that's being quoted here.
