Fallen People, Faithful People

Greetings to all; on this Sunday, may we listen to the silence of God, knowing that's when He speaks the loudest and our faith grows the greatest.

Because the people of God had fallen away from the laws of Moses, there's a historical period between the Old Testament and New Testament called the 400 years of silence. Most people think that when God is silent, He's not doing anything. Although God didn't send any prophets to Israel with a message during this time, He fulfilled prophesy and reminded them of the coming of Christ.

Malachi 4:4–5 (GNB)

4 "Remember the teachings of my servant Moses, the laws and commands which I gave him at Mount Sinai for all the people of Israel to obey.

5 "But before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes, I will send you the prophet Elijah.

Lesson: Our faithful God has a way of solving the problems of the fallen. He continues to turn our hearts to righteousness with faithful messengers and His word.
