10. Silent Years: After Malachi, before Matthew

A poem by Tovin Allers:

The cosmos was made in 6 swift days,

It could have been made in diff’rent ways

The patriarchs came and they founded the nations,

There was Abraham, Jacob and others of creation

The Israelites traveled in an exodus,

They found the land that “is meant for us”

They came to Canaan and invaded the land,

Them and their fierce warrior band

The Judges were wise but they had no bling

The Jews weren’t happy they wanted a king

After the rule of Sol’mon the wise,

The kingdom split up and severed their ties

They were really bad and they broke all the rules,

They became slaves in Bab’lon, what a bunch o’ fools

Two tribes were left, they were good to the Lord,

They returned to their land and they read the word

What happened next, we don’t really know,

Nothing had happened and nothing was shown

That went on for four centuries long,

Let’s praise the Lord, let’s sing him our song!
