The 400 Silent Years: from Malachi to Matthew (Illustrated) (eBook)
‘The 400 Silent Years: from Malachi to Matthew’ was first published in 1914. Author of over 100 books, booklets, and tracts, H.A. Ironside was a bulwark of orthodox Evangelical Fundamentalism. He wrote on everything from Jewish history, to New Testament doctrine, to eschatology, to Bible commentaries, and more. It is a history of the time between the last book of the Protestant Old Testament and the New Testament. From Malachi to Matthew. For most Christians, this is a silent and unknown time.
What happened in those years? Why was there no prophet speaking for God? Are there any writings from that time that can illuminate our questions? In what way did this time help prepare for the coming Messiah and the rapid spread of the Gospel? What can archaeology tell us? Answering this question can help us bring the New Testament to light. It was these preceding 400 years that paved the way for the New Testament scene. A must-read for all Bible students. Complete with the original 1914 illustrations.
