How do we know that the calling of John the Baptist was from God?

Answered in 1 source

John the Baptist was called by God, as evidenced by angelic announcement and his fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.

John's calling is affirmed through the angelic message given to Zacharias, which declares that John would be 'great in the sight of the Lord' and filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb. His life and ministry were meant to prepare the way for the coming of Christ, as foretold by the prophets. This divine mandate underscores that John's mission was not coincidental but rather ordained by God to serve a crucial function in the redemptive plan.
