Bible Question: How many "years of silence" - when Israel did not hear from the Lord - before the Birth of Jesus? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Mommapbs! "The Time Between the Testaments" "The time between the Testaments was one of ferment and change - a time of the realignment of traditional power blocs and the passing of a Near Eastern cultural tradition that had been dominant for almost 3,000 years. In Biblical history, the approximately 400 years that separate the time of Nehemiah from the birth of Christ are known as the intertestamental period (c. 432-5 B.C.). Sometimes called the "silent" years, they were anything but silent. The events, literature and social forces of these years would shape the world of the NT."
