"The Years of Silence" (Jeremiah 23:1-6, Luke 1:68-79)

Part of the Sunday series, preached at a Sunday service

Before Jesus would come there would be “400 Years of Silence.” Now, what happened in these four hundred so-called "silent" years after the last of the inspired prophets spoke and the first of the New Testament writers began to write? After Malachi, had ceased his prophesying and the canon of the Old Testament closed, God allowed a period of time for the teachings of the Old Testament to penetrate throughout the world. During this time, he rearranged the scenes of history, much as a stage crew will rearrange the stage sets after the curtain has fallen, and when the curtain rises again there is an entirely new setting.
