The Transition Period

From the Hebrew period recorded in the Hebrew bible to the New Testament is a vast transformation that we know little about, partly because of our distance in time from that period and partly out of ignorance of the bible itself. We put off to the future so much prophecy that we, like the bible students of Jesus' time, remain ignorant of just how much was being fulfilled then. It was THE END of an era, an era of great significance, but a temporary era. Both Jesus and John the Baptist went about proclaiming that the kingdom of God was at hand. What did that mean?
