Between the books of Malachi & Matthew? What were the scribes doing during this time? What was happening to the righteous people of God?

They were living the lives they knew how to live. The Temple sacrifices continued and the hebrews lived their liturgical lives. It was a time of waiting for the messiah.

Paul who wrote 14 books out of the new testament mentioned it. 1Thes. 4:16-17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" a) Prophecy scholar and author Grant Jeffrey has discovered a sermon by a Greek Orthodox theologian named Ephraem, who died before 400 A.D. Some scholars claim it is not the work of Ephraem, but of a later theologian who was influenced by him, and that it was actually written before 700 A.D. In either case, it substantially pre-dates the alleged 1830 date. Jeffrey has published an English-language translation in one of his recent books. (b) Margaret Macdonald's vision was of a post-tribulation Rapture. She said that the Holy Spirit would protect the Church through the Tribulation. (c) No biblical scholars or Christian theologians rely on Macdonald's vision to support any view of the Rapture. (d) Darby was declaring a pre-tribulation Rapture as early as 1827, three years before Macdonald's vision.

Hehe. The Jews were at war. During this time. Edit coming.
Here's a brief summary of the major things that happened:
The assyrians took northern Israle into exile
The Babylonians took Southern Judah
Alexander the Great conquered the Middle East
Because of this, the there was some Jewish rebellion, and the Maccabes became independent.
Then Rome conquered Palestine.

Scribes were modifying thier scriptures to fit telogical points.
You can look into the book " Misquoting Jesus and why ".
Also look at the 12 chapters of Mark that were added much later to prove the point

DEAR FRIENDS,
MY HEART BLEEDS TO SEE THE MASS IGNORANCE CONTINUED TO BE PROPAGATED BY FALSE TEACHERS.
IN TRUTH, THERE IS REALLY NO 4OO YEARS SILENCE. IF YOU WOULD COMBINED THE BOOK OF DANIEL, WHICH PROPHESIED UP TO AND UNTIL THE KINGDOM OF CLAY AND IRON, WHICH IS THE SPIRITUAL ROME AND THE BOOK OF REVELATION (AMILL VIEW), WE HAVE A CONTINUOUS WHOLE SPAN OF HISTORY UNTIL THE END OF TIME. THE PROPHECIES WERE RIGHT THERE BUT NO ONE HAD WAS GIVEN THE LIGHT TO INTERPRET!
I HOPE THAT THIS LIGHT THE LORD HAD GRACIOUS GRANTED TO ME THROUGH MY PASTOR MAY BE A BLESSING TO YOU ALL.
SHALOM

Actually its called the "Intertestamental " period.
I believe that the Catholic Bible contains books from that period.
As I recall Maccabees would be one of those books.

You can read those inspired books in the real bible.
They are called the deuterocanonicals.

After Malachi were Chronicals, Ezra, and Nehemiah. They are the latest books of the old testament. I dunno what happened for 400 years, tho.
