Christianity: Silence Before the Light, Malachi to Matthew, The

explores the mystery and meaning of that silent period between the Old and New Testaments. Though often skipped over, it was a time of turmoil, expectation, and spiritual tension — the very stage on which Christ would soon appear.

Empires shifted. Persia gave way to Greece, and Greece to Rome. Religious factions arose — Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes — each interpreting God's silence in different ways. Hopes were stirred and crushed. The people waited, watching for a Messiah who would meet their expectations — not knowing He would exceed them in ways they could not imagine.

This book follows that journey, one chapter at a time:

• The fading voice of prophecy

• The rise of religious division

• The pain of foreign occupation

• The persistence of a faithful remnant

• And the arrival of a wild-eyed prophet named John, who broke the silence

But this is not just history. It’s also a mirror.

Today, we too live between comings — between the resurrection of Christ and His promised return. And the silence we feel can be just as loud. We see the brokenness of our world — natural disasters, false prophets, political confusion — and we ask: Where is God?

This book reminds us that waiting is not idleness. It is preparation.

The silence of God is not the absence of God — and we are not called to be silent in return.

Perfect for readers who love biblical context, spiritual insight, and reflective challenge, The Silence Before the Light offers both understanding and urgency.

The silence was real — but so was the plan.
And now, it’s our turn to speak while we wait.
