The Voice: Part I

In between the old testament and the new testament, after Malachi and before Matthew there is usually a blank page. This page does more than signify the transition between the old and new testaments. What this signifies is a time when God was silent. This was a time when the world was dark and dim. This was a time when the once Living God no longer spoke to the people he so cherished. For 400 years God was silent. This may not seem like that big of a deal to most, but imagine this time. It's hard for me to write about this time, because the thought of a God that so loves us not being there is hard to grasp. However this time had to happen. This time had to come so we could experience the greatest story ever told.
If you have ever seen the movie or read the book: Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis brilliantly described the time in which God was silent. When Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy arrived to Narnia they arrived to a land that was cold, dark and lonely. Sound familiar? This would be that 400 year time that earth was cold, dark and lonely. Yet the prophecy in Narnia began to become true. Aslan who had been gone for many years, yet upon the arrival of these four youths, the true king of Narnia was on the move again.
Upon the arrival of Jesus into this world, the true king of Heaven and earth, God began to go on the move again. After 400 years of silence, after the conception of the prophesied Messiah, God went on the move. God who did not fill his anyone with his spirit for nearly half a millennium came onto Mary, and chose her to be the mother of his flesh into this world. The silence had ended. God was on the move again, the true king was on the move...
