PART IV: THE INTERTESTAMENTAL PERIOD - THE SILENT YEARS
Between the prophets and the Gospels lie 400 years of silence—but the archaeology speaks volumes. Discover why hundreds of ritual immersion pools began appearing across Israel just before Jesus arrived, and how the "Mikveh" became the physical precursor to Christian baptism.
PART V: THE HOPE IN JESUS CHRIST’s HEALINGS
