This episode marks the shift from Old to New Testament as we trace the so-called “400 years of silence” from Persia to Rome, the Maccabees to Herod, and watch promises deepen rather than disappear. We explore how Israel’s hopes, factions, and fears frame the birth of Jesus. And we reflect on how Mary, Joseph, shepherds, sages, and tyrants all reveal the kingdom Jesus brings.
