| | JewishEncyclopedia.com - MALACHI, BOOK OF. |
 | | As in the books of Isaiah, Lamentations, and Ecclesiastes, the last verse in the Masoretic text is a repetition of the last verse but one. | | | The style of the book is more prosaic than that of any of the other prophetical books; the parallelism met with in the others is here less pronounced, and the imagery often lacks force and beauty. | | | Jerome, in his preface to the commentary on Malachi, mentions that in his day the belief was current that Malachi was identical with Ezra ("Malachi Hebræi Esdram Existimant"). |

| | Malachi |
| | The purpose of Malachi's book was to re-light and maintain the lamp of faith of the Judean people telling them that God was still caring for them, assuring them that God's promises would be fulfilled and reminding them of their responsibilities as heirs to God's promises. | | | Malachi was the last prophet to speak to Judah in their own land, and it was the last time that God would speak to His people for over 400 years. | | | Malachi pointed out that the key to opening God's door of blessings was to firstly recognise that all money/asset(s) were God's and the people were only giving back to Him what was originally His in the first place. |

| | Yahweh is cursing the descendants of the Levitical priests with eradication. | | | And the thrust of the book of Malachi is ‘how to deliver a nation from spiritual apostasy.’ This apostate period, 420 to 400 BC, was provoked and intensified by the priesthood of the nation of Judah; for the priest were unbelievers (agnostics). | | | In Malachi 2:3, God states that one of the components of the ‘curse’ to the priests will be the eradication of their genealogical rolls. |

| | BOOK OF MALACHI |
| | The point that Malachi was making to his audience was that their existence as the people of God was the clearest evidence of the love of God on any nation. | | | All this would mean, then, that Malachi wrote between 430 and 420 B.C. He was the last of the prophets to write, and his writing predicted the next great prophet who was to come to prepare the way of the Lord, John the Baptist. | | | Other prophetic books often tell when the prophet wrote, that is, during the reigns of certain kings. |

| | The interpretation, however, of mal'aki as an appellative in verse one of his book is to be rejected as totally fallacious on all the various ground enunciated in The Prophetic Books of the Babylonian Exile and the Persian Empire. | | | The book is basically a divine disputation with Judah in which God demonstrates His own faithfulness to His word (both law and gospel) and, on the other hand, Judah's faithlessness to Him. | | | Malachi, indeed, is clearly building here upon the foundation which the Prophet Isaiah had previously laid in the memorable prediction of the Messiah's special precursor with which he begins the third main unit of his book (40: 3-8). |

| | Introduction to Malachi |
| | In no other place in the Bible is Malachi mentioned, but by his book we known that he felt a great love for the people of Judah and the temple ceremonies. | | | Author: Although some attribute Malachi to some anonymous writer, possible Ezra, who had used the Hebrew pseudonym Mal'aki ("My messenger"), most consider it to be the work of the prophet of that name. | | | Christ Revealed: In this final book of the Old Testament we find clear prophetic messages about the sudden appearance of Christ, the angel of the (new) covenant (3:1). |

| | THE BOOK OF MALACHI |
| | The book of Malachi is the last of the books of prophecy on the Return and Restoration of Israel at Jerusalem, and also the last book of Old Testament Scripture. | | | John the Baptist was the Malachi of the New Testament and began where Malachi of the old Testament left off. | | | All we know of the prophet Malachi is what we gather from reading his book. |

| | Malachi emphasizes the coming of a forerunner who is to herald the coming of the Lord. | | | Malachi is written much like a running debate with those who call into question the Lord's goodness and justice. | | | It was during this time that "Malachi took the helm of spiritual affairs in Jerusalem" (The Expositor's Bible Commentary). |

| | 13b. Malachi 3 and 4: [Worth the Entire Book] |
| | Since Malachi 3:6-7 has already reminded us that God does not change in regards to His covenant relationship with Israel, then we must conclude that God was not changing the ordinance of tithing found in Numbers 18:21-24 as long as the Old Covenant was in effect. | | | Even if New Covenant tithing were correct (and it is not), the real meaning of Malachi 3:10 forbids its use to command ordinary church members to bring ALL of their tithe into the so-called "storehouse" of the church. | | | Malachi also points out that the priests had robbed God by not giving Him the best which they had vowed. |

| | NOTES ON The Book of MALACHI |
| | Tho' Malachi be the last of the prophets, and in him prophecy ceased: yet the spirit of prophecy shines as clear, as strong, as bright, in him, as in any that went before. | | | The Jews call him the seal of prophecy, because in him the succession of prophets came to a period: God wisely ordering, that prophecy should cease, some ages before the Messiah came, that he might appear the more conspicuous, and be the more welcome. | | | And a book - All this is spoken after the manner of men. |

| | Thus, the book may be placed in the reign of Xerxes I (486-464 B.C.), when the Persians were experiencing their first stinging defeats by Greek armies. | | | Malachi, however, expresses God's hate of divorce (2:16) and thus seems to set the stage for Jesus' rather radical words concerning the subject (Mark 10:11, Matthew 5:31-32, 19:3-12). | | | And the effects of degeneration and laxity are apparent throughout the land: people are reneging on their tithes; intermarriage is calling into question the identity of the Jewish community; and the day laborers, widows, orphans, and sojourners are suffering oppression. |
