*ON THE PRESENT SILENCE OF GOD”
There were certain periods, in biblical history, when God spoke both audibly and directly, to certain
persons, or group of persons. Especially He did do so, both to, and through, His chosen Prophets.
This is so stated in Heb l:1,2 as follows: “GOD,WHO AT SLINDRY TIMES,AND IN DIVERS
MANNERS. SPAKE IN TIME PAST,LINTO THE FATHERS,BY THE PROPHETS. HAS IN TI{ESE
LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US,BY HIS SON.. Who of course was “IMMANUEL,GOD WITH US”.
But “the silence of God”, during these past 2,000 years ,has been a solemn reality, and in the following
study, we will discover “the dispensational reason” for that prolonged “silence of God”.
Strange as it may seem, we find “the dispensational answer” contained in the following related scriptures;
(1). In the foregoing verses of Heb l:l,2we are told. That God spoke at different times, to different
peoples, and in decidedly different manners.
Q),2nd Tim 2:l5,Paul tells us therefore,” TO RIGHTLY DIVIDE,THE WORD OF TRUTH”.
According to those “different, dispensational programs”.
(3) In 1 Cor 7O:32,Paul then tells us HOW,TO DO SO, by setting forth the following three, unique
dispensational bodies: “GIVE NONE OFFENCE. NEITI{ER TO “THE JEWS’. NOR TO “THE
GENTILES”. NOR TO “THE CHURCH”,OF GOD”.
In that verse ,Paul stated, that all mankind is (scripturally divided) into those three unique dispensational
bodies, and that all scriptures are (dispensation ally) directed to one, or the other ,of Those
three ,unique. dispensational bodies! “The JEWS”-“The GENTILES” ,or to–“the CHURCH” .Our
Mystery Church of Eph 3:l-lO; Rom16:25,26.
As we shall also discover. The Holy Trinity, i.,The Three ,Unique Role forms, of God, AS A Father. And
God, AS An Obedient Son. And God, AS A Holy Spirit Comforter. Was enterally desired to “deal with “,the
foregoing three, unique dispensational bodies, as follows:
(l). God, AS A Father, would deal with “TIIE GENTILES”.
(2). God, AS An Obedient Son, would deal with “The, JEWS”.
(3). God, AS The Holy Spirit Comforter, would deal with “THE CHURCH”.
As such:
(1). God, The Father, WOULD BE,TT{E SPOKEN WORD,TO “TIIE GENTILES”.
(2). God, The Son, WOULD BE,THE LIVING WORD,TO “THE JEWS’.. –
(3). God, The Holy Spirit Comforter, WOULD BE,THE WRITTEN WORD,’TO “The , Church” ,as The
Indwelling Holy Spirit Comforter,3rd Person, Holy Trinity. Whose unique, present ministry ,is set forth in
John1416-26; John 15:26,27; John l6:7-15.
Prior to “the fall”, of (Gentile) Adam and Eve. God could, nd did ,actually walk with, and verbally talk
with, His (then) sinless, created beings, ,Gen l’.27,28.Immediately following their “fall” ,Adam and
Eve, could still “hear”, The Audible Voice of God. But could no longer stand ,in His Visible
Presence, ,Gen 3:8. To “look upon God” thereafter would have meant instant death, ,Ex 19:21. From
“the fall” of Adam and Eve onward, God The Father, would “speak” to fallen humanity ONLY from His
Exalted Heavenly position, ,Ex 20:22. From “the fall” of Adam and Eve onward. God, would use the
saved patriarchal head of each house, and selected prophets ,and priests. To temporarily “bridge the
gap” ,between sinful man ,and A Sinless God, .,Heb l:1,2;2 Pet l:2l,i.e.,Until the lost world might again
“be on speaking terms with God” in, and through, The Shed Blood of Christ Jesus, at Calvary. Meanwhile:
(1). God, The Father, dealt with “THE GENTILES” ,until their temporary setting aside at Mt Sinal, Ex 19: l-8,and the creation of The Jewish Nation of Israel.
(2). God, The Son, dealt with “TTIE JEWS” ,from the creation of The Jewish Nation of Israel ,at Mt Sinai, Ex
19:l-8,until His Ascension, at Acts 1:l-l l
(3). God, The Holy Spirit Comforter, then continued, to deal with National Israel, with their Divine
Amnesty period, covered by the entire (Jewish) book of Acts.., during their three phase Setting
aside, for National blasphemy ,by Paul, at Acts 13:46; 18:6;28:28. l
(a). Our Mystery Church, of Eph 3:1-10; Rom l6:25,26,was “started by the Apostle Paul
(simultaneously),with the foregoing three phase, setting aside of Israel’s Judah-ism. With Pauls (final)
setting aside at Acts 28:28,The Holy’ spirit Comforter, has dealt, and is still dealing, souly With the Mystery Church mentioned above.
.
Note: God, has not (audibly) spoken to mankind, since the foregoing ( third and final) setting aside of Israel’s
Judaism, at Acts 28:28. Nor will God again break His silence, until, the (Millennial) return of Jesus Christ
