What were the 400 years of silence? | GotQuestions.org

Why was God silent for 400 years? How should we understand these 400 years of silence between the Old Testament and New Testament times? What was life like for the Jewish people between the Old and New Testaments during these "400 years of silence?" From the final warning of the prophet Malachi to the arrival of John the Baptist, we'll explore the incredible events that shaped this pivotal time, including the rise and fall of empires, the fulfillment of prophecies, and the surprising way the Jewish nation prepared for the coming Messiah. Why did the Jewish people, after all this time, become deaf and blind to the humble Messiah? And what does this all mean for us today? Join us as we look at the period that bridges the Old Testament and the New, and why the Jews as a people have yet to open their eyes and ears to Jesus.
