What does the Bible say about the 400 years of silence?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that during the 400 years between Malachi and the New Testament, God was still active through His Spirit, and the gospel continued to be preached.

The 400 years between the last message of Malachi and the New Testament is often referred to as the 'silent years.' However, this does not imply that God was inactive. The Holy Spirit was actively working during this time, and the gospel was being preached to God’s people. It is essential to recognize that God's witness and grace have always been present throughout history, even when there is no direct biblical revelation recorded. Just as God provided a means for the preservation and teaching of His gospel through various preachers during this intertestamental period, He continues to do so today. The faithfulness of God’s word assures believers that His message of grace is enduring and will be preached until Christ's return.
