How do we know the gospel survived the 400 years?

Answered in 1 source

The continuity of the gospel is evident in the New Testament and the recognition of Jesus as the Messiah from the start of His ministry.

The survival of the gospel through the 400 silent years is evidenced by the eventual recognition of Jesus as the Messiah in the New Testament. In the gospels, we see characters like Zechariah, John the Baptist, and Simeon, who acknowledged the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about Christ. This recognition came not merely through human understanding but through divine revelation. The New Testament opens with the acknowledgment of John as the prophet who prepared the way for Christ, indicating that the teachings surrounding the anticipated Messiah remained alive and were grasped by those prepared by the Holy Spirit during this long period.
