Perhaps we could take a cue from the ancient past.  Were there not 
400 years of silence when there was no true Word from God.  Yet, 
in God's timing, light was again brought into the world, even when it 
was in total darkness.  If it happened then, why couldn't have 
happened again?  IOW, there need not have been a true Church at 
all times throughout history for God to have one now.

(2 Kings 22:8-13 KJV)  "And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the
scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And
Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. {9} And Shaphan the
scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy
servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have
delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the
oversight of the house of the LORD. {10} And Shaphan the scribe showed the
king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read
it before the king.{11} And it came to pass, when the king had heard the
words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes. {12} And the king
commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the
son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the
king's, saying, {13} Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people,
and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for
great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our
fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according
unto all that which is written concerning us."


(1 Samuel 3:1 KJV)  "And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before
Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open
vision."

Just a thought.
