In Genesis 1:3 God spoke the universe into being…creating everything out of nothing, just by His Words. We see in the Old Testament that God “spoke” to His people through the prophets…His Presence made known by way of His Word. But Psalm 29:3 & Job 37:4-5 tell us that God’s “Voice” is as thunder and beyond human comprehension. But then there came a time when God’s voice became silent…and for 400 years He did not speak. The last time God spoke in the Old Testament was in Malachi 4:5-6…with His silence ending 400 long years later with the coming of John the Baptist in the New Testament.
