What happened during the period of time between the Old and New Testament? There is a gap of approximately 430 years in the Bible narrative between roughly 435 and 7 B.C. In this episode, we will explore what history tells us occurred during these "silent years" that the Bible does not say much about. We will consider: 

The Rise of the Macedonian (Grecian) Empire

The Rise of Koine Greek and the Septuagint Translation

The Maccabees

The Rise of the Roman Empire

Impact on the Jews
