Have you heard about the silence of God? Has that been covered in your recent Bible Study? Or, like others, have you been through it without talking about it feeling like something was wrong with your relationship–like you had failed God, found to be some kind of spiritual reject. There is a strong chance that is not the case. Close to 100 percent in fact. Imagine being one of the children of Israel during the Old Testament. Imagine knowing your ancestor Moses had once held stone tablets engraved by the finger of God. Knowing your ancestor Abraham once carried on a conversation with God under a tree, bargaining for the lives of people in his uncle’s city. Imagine hearing the prophets thunder with the warnings of God against injustice and apostasy. Straining to hear the promises of deliverance. The assurances of a Messiah. Of hearing the last words of a hopeful promise of revival so powerful the hearts of fathers and children would once again be turned toward each other. That a “Sun of Righteousness” would rise with healing in his wings. Then, on the cusp of this blessing… imagine 400 years of silence.
