What happens when God goes silent?
In Part 2 of our Christmas series From Malachi to Matthew, we explore one of the darkest and most mysterious periods in biblical history—the 400 years between the Old and New Testaments.
After the prophet Malachi, Israel heard no new word from God. No prophets. No visions. No Scripture. Four centuries of silence. Yet even in the silence, God was still moving.
In this message, we trace how God prepared the world for the coming of Jesus through fulfilled prophecy, world events, and faithful endurance. From Daniel’s astonishingly accurate visions, to the rise and fall of empires, to the miracle of Hanukkah, we see that God was never absent—only quiet.
This sermon is for anyone who has ever wondered where God is in a season of waiting, confusion, or silence. The Christmas story reminds us that when the time was right, God spoke again—and He did so by sending His Son.
“When the time came to completion, God sent his Son…” (Galatians 4:4)
May this message encourage you to trust God’s faithfulness, even when you cannot hear His voice.
