The Silent Years — Between the Testaments
Between Malachi and Matthew, no new Scripture was written — yet this was the period when Greek became a common language across the Mediterranean, Jewish communities scattered and synagogues multiplied, and political upheaval reshaped the region, all quietly preparing the exact conditions into which the Gospel would spread. Silence from God is never the same as absence.
