The significant event that marked the end of the 400 years of silence between Malachi and Matthew in biblical history was the birth of Jesus Christ.
Most Bible scholars believe 400 years expired between the book of Malachi in the Old Testament and the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.
During the 400 years between the books of Malachi and Matthew, known as the intertestamental period, several significant events occurred. These include the rise of the Greek Empire under Alexander the Great, the division of his empire into four kingdoms, the Maccabean Revolt in Judea, and the eventual rule of the Roman Empire over the region. This period also saw the development of various Jewish sects, such as the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek (the Septuagint).

Nobody seems to know when the Book of Malachi was written, but many agree that it was written in the fifth century BC. That is some 500 years before the birth of Jesus Christ.
No, usually it goes after the chapter like this Matthew 25: verses. If there is a separation between verses in the same chapter a comma is used like this Matthew 25:1-5, 13. If there are more that one chapter of a book then a semicolon is used like this Matthew 25:1-5; 13:1-3.
Malachi, the writer of the Old Testament book of the same name, wrote his book between 445 and 432 BC. People in that day did not live much longer than we do today. Malachi died several hundred years before Jesus was born.
I think the reason is God did not speak through prophets during that period, whereas the Old Testament ends with Malachi and the New Testament begins with Jesus and John the Baptist. It may simply be because the Christian Bible does not acknowledge any texts written during that time as the inspired Word of God. There was roughly a 450-year gap between the writing of Malachi and the writing of Matthew.
It was called the Time of Silence or the Prophetic Silence because God did not send any prophets to Israel. There is some limited historical information however. Some of this can be found in the books of Maccabees that are found in the Roman catholic Bibles, and also in the Apocrypha of Protestant Bibles. == ==
Samaria was an ancient region located in present-day Israel and the West Bank. It is historically significant for its role in biblical stories and the interactions between Israelites and Samaritans.
Yes
The modern arrangement of books in the Old Testament part of the Bible has the Book of Malachi as the final OT book. For Jews who call the written Torah the Tanakh with the section called the Kethuvim (Writings) list Chronicles as the final 'scroll.'
