The Four Hundred Years Of Silence - Paperback

by Paul McKinney (Author)

Have you ever wondered when you turned the Last page of the Old Testament to Matthew about the four hundred years you just skipped over? Does it intrigue your mind to think what happened, who was in control, what was the status of the Jews during this period of time and what bearing it had on the early Christians in the New Testament? When we open the New Testament we begin to see the Pharisees and Sadducees, Synagogues, the Sanhedrin, the Heriodians, the Roman government and the Herod regime emerge on the pages of theNew Testament and you wonder where these all came from. We see the great impact the events not mentioned in the New Testament of the Maccabean revolt, the dominance of the Greek language, the rise of the Roman Empire had in the time of Jesus.
