When you turn the page from the end of the Old Testament to the beginning of the New, you’ve crossed a gap of about four centuries. This period was a fascinating one as figures like Aristotle and Alexander the Great made their mark on civilization. It was during these same years that the Jews endured severe persecution, leading them to long for God’s promised Messiah. In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul shows how the intertestamental period set the stage for the arrival of Jesus Christ.
