Summary: According to Azrael’s Commentary, John the Baptizer built a temple in the “small city called Elephentine (sic)” (AZC — John the Baptizer). As a note of interest, the book of Yeshua states that after John’s death, his body was taken by his disciples towards Egypt to be buried (Y:5:49). The author of the scriptures taught that John’s body was buried in Elephantine, Egypt (lesson notes: April / May 2008).

Azrael’s Commentary — John the Baptizer (excerpt)

[...] John created a religious sect which came to be known as the Essenes. The word is Adamic and refers to those who desire to heal. John the Baptizer was known among the Essenes as: The Teacher of Righteousness. What might surprise some is the fact that John built a temple in Egypt, in a small city called Elephentine (sic). John died in 34 CE.
