An Overview of The Bible
Judges: part four
Chapters 17-21
Friday was violent, Saturday was silent… but Sunday’s coming!
April 8, AD30 (or perhaps Saturday April 4, AD33) was quiet.
Jesus hadn’t said much from the cross, he was exhausted, near death, spent.
And then one final cry, the end of an agonizing, lonely six hours hanging just off the earth, but excluded from heaven:
It was over, it was quiet, the quietest time in all history.
