9. The book of Malachi, though written
around 400 B.C., prophetically describes the
evil generations of Jews during the

10. The dates of some periods are not rmly
xed for classi cation because there are
di erent views concerning precisely when a
new period began. The dividing dates as
such are not that crucial. The date of 5 B.C.
is the date of Jesus’ birth. The apparent
discrepancy of the number 5 is explained by
an error in calculations when the calendar
of the Christian era was formed in A.D. 525.
