Intertestamental Period

Jerry Betts presents a discussion of history during the 400 years between the close of Malachi and the opening of Matthew during which inspiration was silent. From the time Malachi laid down his pen to the birth of Jesus, the political landscape changed incredibly. To understand the climate of the New Testament, it is helpful to have a basic grasp of what transpired in those intervening centuries. Learn how the rising empires of Babylon, Persia, Greece and finally Rome fulfilled Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel 2. Lessons vary in length from 30-50 minutes. The printed notes contain a special study of Matthew 24.
