“So they tore down the altar, and stored the stones in a convenient place on the temple hill until there should come a prophet to tell what to do with them.” (1 Maccabees 4:46).I think it proves that if a prophecy is fulfilled and recorded by Jews during the "silent years" and was important enough to translate into greek for greek speaking Jews, ultimately ended up in our bibles, than those "silent years" weren't really all that silent
and two prophets did arise after Maccabees, are you saying that every book in the OT was written during the lifespan of a prophet?“So they tore down the altar, and stored the stones in a convenient place on the temple hill until there should come a prophet to tell what to do with them.” (1 Maccabees 4:45-46).
“Thus there was great distress in Israel, such as had not been since the time that prophets ceased to appear among them.” (1 Maccabees 9:27).
“And the Jews and their priests decided that Simon should be their leader and high priest for ever, until a trustworthy prophet should arise." (1 Maccabees 14:41).
Luther certainly would agree with this comic book bible, right?You may include ANYTHING you like in a tome with "BIBLE" on the cover. Pictures..... illustrations...... historical notes..... drawings.... maps..... a concordance..... Luther's Small Catechism..... outlines..... some things in red letters.... well, anything that's helpful. The publishing companies will put in ANYTHING if it means selling more books; they are eager to please prospective buyers (it's how they make money).
But if you claim that anything found in any tome with "BIBLE" on the cover MUST ERGO be THE canonical, inerrant, divinely-inscripturated words of God (Scripture) then you've made a remarkable claim with a demand for proof.

I am just providing relevant information from 1st Maccabees.and two prophets did arise after Maccabees, are you saying that every book in the OT was written during the lifespan of a prophet?
Nothing wrong with those verses, so they were awaiting the next prophet, they have been expecting two, one prophesied in the books of Moses and one in MalachiI am just providing relevant information from 1st Maccabees.

Again, I am providing relevant and important information from 1st Maccabees for others read and consider.Nothing wrong with those verses, so they were awaiting the next prophet, they have been expecting two, one prophesied in the books of Moses and one in Malachi
You know that the apocrypha includes books from the times of the prophets
What about Ketuvim?

They are self explanatory. The author said what he meant.Can you tell ua what your thoughts are on these verses? How do you consider them?
Stop beating around the bush, the author is claiming that "great distress" + in between prophets = ??They are self explanatory. The author said what he meant.

Since I never even remotely suggested anything like that, your question is moot.Should we likewise omit everything between the death of Moses up to Jesus?
