The 400 Years of Silence

Where did the Pharisees and Sadducees come from? Who is King Herod and how did he come to power? Few people understand why the landscape has changed so drastically as we turn the page from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Most people don't understand that 400 years have passed from the time of the book of Malachi to the announcements of the angel Gabriel to Zachariah and Mary. What happened in that 400 years? Why is it known as the 400 years of silence? In this special Advent episode, we answer all those questions and more!

FYI - I recorded this episode about 8 years ago when I first had aspirations of starting a podcast. It was one of five that I never released. So, my style and approach is a little...different. But I hope it's still a fun and educational listen
