During this week between the Old and New Testaments, we are pausing in our Quest Bible Reading Plan to reflect on the Four Hundred Years of Silence between the end of Malachi’s prophecies and the beginning of John the Baptist’s ministry.  We invite you to take time to reflect on these passages that speak to God’s voice in the midst of silence.

When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.

Revelation 8:1-4
