John the Baptist was ordained by God even before his birth, as indicated in the Gospel of Luke. The angel Gabriel announced to Zechariah that John would be filled with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother's womb (Luke 1:15). This divine appointment highlights John's significant role in preparing the way for Jesus and underscores the belief that his mission was established by God from the very beginning.
