Israel: The Barren Land!

In the fulness of time, God gave his Son to die for the sins of mankind. Jesus has been born in Bethlehem, in the royal family of King David according to scriptures. But the birth of Christ has been anticipated for about 4000 years, and all Israelite had lost hope about their coming Messiah. However, before the birth of Christ, the land of Israel was without a prophet for many years according to the word of the lord. The Almighty God had a controversy with the people of Israel because of their neglect of his words and the killing of his prophets. Also, the Lord was angry because the Israelite were disobedient to Him. They had sold themselves to lies, deceit and idolatry; and their punishment and judgement was the absence of Gods words to them for many years. This period lasted for about 400 years until John the baptist showed up in the desert: creating the part way for Jesus Christ to appear on the scene few months later.
