The Intertestamental Period. There may only be one page separating the OT and NT in your Bible, but what actually happened during that time frame and does it have much relevancy for the Christian? In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question regarding the "400 years of silence" between the Testaments. We find that there are tons of relevant things that happened between historical wars and fulfillment's of prophecy that shed light on context around the Gospels and why God sent John the Baptist to proclaim the Way when He did. This episode is jam packed with historical facts that are a must-listen for believers everywhere!
