It's a sad fact that most students of the Bible are totally ignorant of what happened between Malachi and Jesus. Those 400 or so years produced great changes in how Jews practiced their religion. These changes are accessable to all in the extant writings from that period. Here is a short essay on the significance of the history and literature:

About Me
- Duffer Dan
- Sparks, Nevada, United States
- I am Dan Smith, widower of Mary, father of four daughters who are married to Christian husbands and mothers each of two wonderful children who have presented me with 3 greatgrandkids, fifth-generation Church of Christ member, retired US Army major who spends a little time on the golf course. My time in/with the Army (20 years in uniform and another 20 years as a civilian employee) was a great blessing. I was part of four overseas congregations (Korea, Okinawa, Turkey and Greece) and one Stateside (Reno, NV) that taught me the concept of unity without uniformity. I am both an exclusivist (accepting as a brother one immersed in water in compliance with Jesus' command) and an inclusivist (accepting ALL baptized believers regardless of their denomination).
