Between the Old and New Testaments there are 400 years without word from God.
When there is silence from heaven, how do we wait amid noise on earth?
this saturday is our advent/christmas season grace. following the greater silence (inspired by laurence and beth) we're back with... well the even greater silence!
unless you think Daniel was written in 167 BC...

Your religious provincialism is showing.
What about the Sacred Texts of all of the other Traditions of Humankind that existed on the planet at the time. The Upanishads and Vedas from India for instance--or of the Zoroastrians (who still exist)
