What HAPPENED Between the Old and New Testaments?

One page ends with Malachi. The next opens with Roman soldiers, King Herod, a golden temple, and a people waiting for deliverance. Between those two pages lie nearly four hundred years. Those years were not silent. Empires rose. The temple was defiled. A priest and his sons rebelled against a king who tried to erase their faith. Rome entered Jerusalem. Herod covered the sanctuary in gold. And in the year 70, the city burned. The Book of Josippon—known in the Ethiopian tradition as Zena Ayhud, “The History of the Jews”—walks through those forgotten centuries as one long chronicle. It is not Scripture. It is not a hidden gospel. It is a historical tradition preserved by one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. From the return out of Babylon to Alexander the Great, from Antiochus and the Maccabean revolt to Pompey, Herod, Titus, Jerusalem’s destruction, and the final stand at Masada, this is the history that shaped the world of the New Testament. The blank page between Malachi and Matthew was never empty. Someone remembered.
