John 1:29

"On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Be perceiving the Lamb of Placer, who is lifting the un-mark of the system!"  John had just denied that he was the Anointing.  And now he sees Jesus coming toward him...and he knows! This is the Lamb of Placer.  This is the one who, very literally, "is lifting" the system's un-mark.  Rather than the Latin based word "sin", the Etymological New Testament reflects the two part Greek word, HAMARTIA, un-mark, to miss the mark.  And this world's system is ruled by a missing of the mark. John recognized that Jesus was crucial as the one who would be lifting this un-mark from the system, with powerful implications for our lives.
