The 400-year time gap between Malachi the last book of the Old Testament and New Testament with Matthew the first of the gospels. This period was from about 420BC to about 7BC.
God was fulfilling prophecy and counting down to the time for Jesus to arrive on this earth.
This 400-year gap God hardly spoke to his people. Until Just before Jesus was born.
