Bible Question: what is the silent era? |
Bible Answer: 400 Silent Years. I have heard the intertestimental period referred to as the Silent Years. There is a period of time between the last of the Old Testament prophets and the Gospels. There are, of course, many writings from this period... and God was certainly active with his people. But the canonical scriptures leave a gap between the prophecies and their fulfillment. JRM. |
