Hi everyone,

Sorry I've been away for a while. Instead of replying individually, I just wanted to thank everyone for their good answers. Although it's obvious now, until you pointed it out, I had never realized that God was silent in much of the OT period. ALso, I think the idea of a separation time between the old and new economies is a good one. I'm going to print out this thread and give it to my friends at church.

John
