I think God speaks clearly in these times because of his silence it means he has had enough of our ways we havent
listened we have
gone our own way we havent acted on what his
prophets have spoken so he distances himself until such time that we will take him seriously.Thats how it was in the old testament he allowed his people
to go into captivity or bondage when they refused
to obey his word.We see this pattern repeated over and over for example In Egypt when they were in slavery it wasnt until the people acknowledged there sin and cried out
to God
to save them and he did by sending a savior moses.Because we have Christ we have grace he wont spurn us like he used
to because Christ took away our reproach and he is free
to love us despite our sinfulness.brentnz
Maybe they ask us
to listen to a voice that provides an opening
to freedom by providing a perspective other than our own, enunciated by the voice of the one who creates this world at every moment and knows where it is
going, who calls
prophets to speak and knows the purpose of their words, who sows the seed of the word with joyful abandon, secure in the knowledge of the harvest.
