WHAT IS 400 YEARS OF SILENCE?

  1. There is the biblical theology view that once Israel went into exile that inspiration from God ceased, hence no true prophecy came until John the Baptist; that which covered 400 years from 600BC – 3 BC/CE, i.e. to John the Baptist-six months before Jesus was born.

  2. Note: Ezekiel, Daniel and Haggai all prophesied in exile. While Jeremiah who escaped exile continued prophesying in Jerusalem: see Jer. 25, 39, 30 etc.

  3. Note: The Apocrypha (i.e. a 400 years of silence product). The six extra Old Testament books accepted by the catholic Vulgate (see the Goodnews Bible Version) are called Apocrypha by Protestantism, which means books with hidden or vague origins (Greek “Apokrupho) and considered not inspired. They include Tobit, Esdras, Bel and the Dragon, Susannah, Mecabees 1 & 2, Sirach, Samson and the Dragon, Ecclesiasticus etc. They emerged during the 400 years of silence era (McCain, 2005). There are more like Ecclesiasticus, Baruch etc.

  1. Note: Pseudoepigrapha

  2. These are books from before the 400 years of silence and after Christ, totally rejected by Catholics and Protestants. That is, they also rejected books from the New Testament Canon e.g. Gospel of Barnabas, Shepherd of Hermas, wisdom books of Moses, Gospel of Peter etc.

  3. The Greek “Pseudo” means false, while Epigrapha is spiritual writings, hence pseudoepigrapha means “false spiritual writings” (Metzger 2001), pp 79-85.

Ecstatic Prophecy: Ecstatic prophets in ancient Israel (similar to the Egyptian type) were often acting like possessed people often aided by music. People looked at them as mediums or madmen: (See 2 Kings 9:1-11 (v11). See Asian Shamans.
PUNISHMENT AND CONSEQUENCES FOR FALSE PROPHECY (Exodus 22:18) Deut 18:9-end, do not practice divination or consult the dead. Those who I have not sent (Jer 14:14, Jer 23:2-25) but they prophecy in my name,they must be put to death. Deut 18:20


ORIGINS OF FALSE PROPHECY IN ISRAEL

  1. Egypt (see Jer 8:2) Israel got the worship of the sun god from Egypt (i.e. Ra or ela or Helios to Helium, i.e. sun god, not Eli or Elohim) Isaiah 47:13.

  2. Asia which gave us the word “East” (see Isaiah 2:6) Israel abandoned the one true God. They started worshipping divination gods of false prophecies from the East and Philistia (see Jer 7:31-32- Tophet or Tophilaso i.e. false prophecies through divination; Sophiku is paganism, or strange religions (Isaiah 2:6)

  3. Babylon: the Nimrodian synthesis or theory that says that Nimrod of Babylon in Gen. 10, was worshipped as Baal in later years; a divination system which entered Israel from Ekron in Philisti, 2 Kings 1:1-3, 1 Samuel 6:1-6, Isaiah 2:6, called “Phallusiva” in Hindi- i.e. philosophy)

  4. Deut 18:9-14,Canaanite and Phoenician- “Mophil”- Asaphim (Philasaphim) i.e. consulting occultic prophetic oracles of “sesophis”, Asaphim, Palasu or Phalasu, i.e. idolatry, sorcery or consulting the dead (saphsaphim or witchcraft Isaiah 8:19).

  5. Assyrian Nisroch: 2 Kings 19:37; see also 1 Samuel 9:9, the old namefor prophecy in Israel was “Roeh” (i.e. seer) he who can see into the future with an equivalence in the Assyrian “Nisroch”. That word “Roeh” was changed to Nabhi in Elijah’s time since it had probable occultic origin.

  6. Assyria: 2 Kings 16:10, 2 kings 17:29-32 etc the Assyrians imported Assyrian false prophecy into deported Israel (i.e. the North) by 721BC which penetrated down the South into Judah. Northern Israel under Jeroboam before the exile of 721BC, already imported Philistine divination, into Israel, (i.e. Samaria; see 2 Samuel 13, i.e. the man of God from Judah sent by God to warn Samaria against false worship 1 Kings 13 etc. See also 2 Kings 17:24 & 31 “sephar-vaim is from “Sophiphon”, i.e. the serpent, spirit of fire divination.

HOW FALSE PROPHETS BECAME PHILOSOPHERS

(i.e. manteomai or manticisms of the false prophet Delphi Oracle) which Socrates was a member (Asaju, 1999, p 36) Bromiley, (1985)

Isaiah 56:10, “Your watchmen (sophe, i.e. prophets) are blind guides: Hebrew “Phata” (open eyes to Ephelia, blind or darkness.


    1. Jeremiah 14:14 (also Jeremiah 23:21-25) God said, “I have not sent these prophets. You are prophesying delusions or darkness of your minds (Sophon or Soph). Later those false (phaulos) prophets (pro-ophis) broke away from the true prophetic class; they continued to claim divine wisdom and revelations from God. However, Jeremiah called them “Tophilaso” (Jeremiah 7:32). Topheth, i.e. divination of receiving false wisdom (Colossians 2:8- see Goodnews) and from the serpent called Ophis or Sophot spirit of falsehood.

    2. See 2 Kings 18:4 the Jews were worshipping the Bronze serpent (Nahasuphia or Nehustan- or Nahas) as source of wisdom.

    3. Also, ancient Greek “Ophites” (from Ophis, i.e. serpent) worshipped the serpent (Hebrew”Sophis”, 2 Kings 18:4) as source of wisdom.


FUNCTIONS AND IMPORTANCE OF PROPHETS

  1. God ruled Israel through the prophets who received messages, instructions, direction and moral guidance from God to the people. It was called Theocracy.

  2. Hence, the prophets were intermediaries between God and the people, applicable to other peoples and cultures and religions with prophetic revelation claims.

  3. The prophet in Israel was a “Sophe” (spiritual and moral watchman over Israel Ezekiel 3;17, Hosea 9:8, Isaiah 56:10 etc)


ANCIENT ORIGINS OF PROPHECY IN ISRAEL (which also produced “false prophecy”, currently called philosophy)

1a. Israelites by 1,400BC consulted the occult in Canaan to find out or resolve mysteries. The occult was called “Phalasu” see witch of Endor (Ophet, Ovot or Cesaph, 1 Samuel 28 to Phileso (i.e. Philisti or Philosophis; Isaiah 2:6 or Sophiku (pagan) etc condemned by God in Deuteronomy 18:9-13 as Asaphim (consulting the dead) or Sophim (Zophim or sorcerers, i.e. Greek “sesophis” 2 Peter 1:16 cleverly crafted or ceseph, i.e. witchcraft, Numbers 24:1 or Ezekiel 13:18-20 “Veils” (Phili or hidden) of witchcraft (saphlaphim) i.e. philisaphim, i.e. witchcraft or false (phaulos) prophecy i.e. ophetim (or phaulosophets)



  1. See also Mathew 10:16 “Be ye as wise or crafty as serpents; crafty is from Hebrew “ Cesoph”, i.e. magic; while wise is Greek “Phronimos” or Phren and Hebrew “Hakam”, then serpent is Hebrew “sophen”, or Greek “Ophis or Opet, or Pytho”. See (Bromiley, 1985, BDB, 2007, Brown and Comfort, 1991, Metzger, 2001, Mansoor, 2004, Nnaji 2012 and 2014 and Hebrew Old Testament (1940; London) etc.

2a) 1 Samuel 10:11- by Samuel’s time (c990BC) shows that early prophecy in Israel was characterized by ecstatic or possessed bands or groups of apprentice or servant prophets, e.g. Elisha servant to Elijah, and the sons of the prophets summoned by Ahab on the request of Jehoshaphat 1 Kings 22:1-18 etc.

  1. Also, Daniel 1:20 and Daniel 2:2-10 were called “Philasaphim”, i.e. magicians, enchanters or wizards interpreting dreams and doing fortune telling as prophets.

  1. By 1 Kings 17, Elijah’s time (c800BC) prophets were more organized in guilds or organizations (also called sons of the prophets).

  2. See 2 Kings 18:4, the Jews were still worshipping the “Sophion” or “Sophis” (i.e. serpent or Nahasuphia or Nehustan) produced by Moses (Numbers 21:1-9, Bronze Serpent) as source of wisdom and healing, i.e. Greek “Pharmakon” or healing through magic from Hebrew “Rapha” or “Raphaim” etc.

  3. In the Exodus days of Miriam (Numbers 12, i.e, Moses’ sister c1390BC. Prophecy was inspired by music, like in 1 Samuel 10:11, i.e. Saul among the prophets.

  4. Around 1,380BC God said to Aaron and Miriam in Numbers 12:6-8, if there be a prophet among you, I will speak to him in visions and dreams (perhaps ecstasy) but with Moses I will speak face to face with him.

  5. Deuteronomy 34:1-10, Joshua had the spirit of wisdom from God; Deborah and Samson also had spirits of prophecy or leadership (see Judges 13, 14 etc)

Can prophecy be acquired by learning or anointing?

How do you become a prophet, or is prophecy acquired as a natural gift?

See Ephesians 4:11, Numbers 12:6-8 Deuteronomy 18:1-end etc. Classification/ Categories of Prophets

PROPHECY AND SCIENCE

  1. Science says prophecy is not scientific (i.e. prophecy cannot be scientifically verified).

  2. Hence, the scientific definition of prophecy is that prophecy is an unverifiable metaphysical experience.


DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN A PROPHET AND A MADMAN

Prophecy and Schizophrenia

(Difference between prophets and madmen)

  1. Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan (1651) stated that madmen will not allow us know who is a madman and who is a prophet, (since madmen or mentally distorted people and prophets exhibit the same qualities of seeing things and hearing voices (or hearing things).

  2. Godwin Lasebikan (1983) in Prophecy and Schizophrenia stated that prophets experience supernatural contacts, while mentally disturbed people hallucinate (i.e. they hear voices or things.They are also deluded (see Jeremiah 14:14, false prophets and delusions) that is being, deceived by brain chemicals that they are seeing things or visions. Those brain chemicals are called Neurotransmitters (e.g. Serotonin, Dopamine, GABBA, and Adrenergics, Acetyline etc (Bethlehem and March, 1983, cited by Nnaji 2011, in the Biochemistry of Religions.

  3. Ogundu (2000) cited Jackson Smith’s Developmental Neuropsychiatry and Atkinson et al (1992) in Abnormal Psychology, on causes of people who claimed they heard voices of their gods. A particular girl said she heard the voice of her god commanding her to jump into fire for purification, which fatally burnt her.


CANONIZATION

(i.e. rules and standards used by the early church in selecting books of the Bible from spurious ones)(i.e. why some spiritual or prophetic books (even New Testament era books) were rejected as pseudoepigrapha (i.e. satanic books) and Apocrypha (uninspired prophecies or books with hidden meaning and vague sources).



  1. The rejected books were written within that period labeled as 400 years of silence, which means between 600 (or 586BC) when Judah (i.e. Southern Israel) was carried into Babylonian exile, to when Christ was born (c 3BCE) i.e. God did not give messages to prophets within that period. Some of those books written then, include Apocrypha, ones like Ecclesiasticus, Tobit, Judith, Suzannah, Maccabees 1 and 2, Esdras, Sirach, Bel and the Dragon etc.

Note:

  1. Northern Israel (i.e. Samaria) was deported to exile in 721BC; i.e. c130 years before the South (Judah) 2 Kings 17:1-end, etc.

  2. That same period of 400 years of silence (600BC to 3BCE) witnessed serious wars fulfilling Daniel’s prophecies; e.g.

    1. Persia conquered Babylon,

    2. Greek conquered Persia

    3. Romans conquered the Greeks (Ptolemies) and the Seleucids (Syrians) etc, Cassius, Cato, Brutus,Mark Anthonio and Octavius, Caesar etc existed then. (See William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”

  3. Also note: Philosophy (i.e. false prophecy) or Tophilaso, rose when true prophecy ceased.

    1. Greek philosophy started within that period of 400 years of silence (i.e. 600BC- the first century CE)

  1. Hence, rejected spiritual books were written by spurious or anonymous people who appended names of known prophets and Apostles to the books.

  2. Hence, books not written by the known prophets and Apostles themselves or by the disciples of prophets and Apostles, themselves were rejected by canonization.

  3. The prophets and Apostles must conform to the Jewish prophetic tradition; i.e. they must be Jews, their prophecies must conform to preceding prophecies.
