What Does Luke 3:25 Mean?
These fathers and sons lived in the long stretch after the last of the writing prophets, the quiet generations before John's voice broke the silence.
Amos and Naum carry the names of prophets of Israel; the old words were still loved in ordinary homes. Through years with no new voice like theirs, the promise still moved forward a generation at a time. God's quiet seasons are not God's absence.
