Mark 1:2-3 quotes from Malachi and Isaiah. Why does it only say "as written in Isaiah"?
Actually, it depends on which manuscripts you read. Some older manuscripts say "as written in Isaiah", but older doesn't always mean better. Other manuscripts say "as written in the prophets". I suspect Mark knew who he was quoting, so it seems to me that "as written in the prophets" is probably the correct reading.
But, more to the point... Prepare yourself for the Kingdom of God while still in the Wilderness of life. Don't wait til the last minute. The prophets say God's Law will be in full force in the Millennial Kingdom, so why not start keeping it now?

The voice of one crying "In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight..." (Isaiah 40:3 and Matthew 3:3) The original text in Isaiah is clear that the voice isn't crying in the wilderness, but is saying to straighten the paths in the wilderness.
How does one prepare the way of the Lord? By repenting from sin. It isn't that the Messiah can't come back until we repent, but that those who do not repent will be crushed or pushed aside at His arrival. (Matthew 3:3)
"Repent" doesn't mean to regret. It doesn't mean to be sinless either. To repent is to stop knowingly and willfully sinning. It means to change behavior. "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." (Matthew 3:2)

When A.I. is asked a question it searches all of the digitized information available, but if the majority of that information is biased the answer will also be biased. Ask A.I. the age of the universe and you get an answer of around thirteen billion years because the majority of the information suggests that number. Ask our Creator and we get a much different answer, so who will you trust?
"Return therefore, and cause others to turn away from all your transgressions: so iniquity shall not be your destruction."
