The 400 Years the Bible Goes Completely Silent

What happened during the 400 years between the Old and New Testaments? After the final books of the Old Testament, the biblical narrative appears to go silent for centuries.

But was this period really “silent”? In this video, we explore the centuries between the Old and New Testaments, the empires that rose and fell, the Maccabean revolt, the Hasmonean dynasty, Roman expansion, and the historical developments that shaped the world into which Jesus was born. 📖 Key context: Malachi → Matthew 🏛️ Topics: Intertestamental Period, Second Temple Judaism, Persia, Greece, Hasmoneans, Rome, Herod #Bible #BiblicalHistory #Jesus #OldTestament #NewTestament #ChristianHistory #BibleStudy
