What Happened During the 400 Years of Silence Between the Old and New Testaments?

What really happened in the 400 years between the Old and New Testaments? Why did God stop speaking, and how did the world prepare for the arrival of the Messiah without even knowing it? We walk through every significant moment, conflict, empire, and spiritual transformation that shaped the world before Jesus was born. From the final echoes of Malachi’s prophecy to the quiet birth in Bethlehem, this documentary-style script takes you deep into history, prophecy, and longing—without missing a single detail. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 Subscribe if you find Value 2:06 The End of the Old Testament 8:44 The Rise of Alexander the Great 17:05 The Harsh Rule of the Seleucids 26:25 The Rededication of the Temple 36:11 Roman Expansion 44:41 Cultural and Religious Fragmentation 50:45 Transition to the New Testament
