This is my interpretation of this particular verse John was prepared from birth to witness support Jesus to the end of his life John got side tracked was eventually killed in prison for a matter not was not really relevant in the light of his original calling to live die with Jesus Paradoxically both men died prematurely Jesus indicated by his words that a new kind of person would grab hold of God s Providence people such as the early disciples who didnt have much training but were humble tried to support Jesus on earth When the first most prepared people fail to respond to God s calling then God uses a different strategy so men of force have to protect God Jesus s foundation the Kingdom of Heaven Unfortunately the same thing happened with the Second Coming of Christ those that were prepared failed to respond persecuted the returning Christ We dont learn from history Read the Divine Principle if you want to know who fulfills that role of the Second Coming of Christ
