Malachi 1-4, Isaiah 61-62
from Commuter Bible · host John Ross
Not much is known about the prophet Malachi, (whose name means “my messenger”), but contextual clues suggest that this was written after the exile had ended. Enthusiasm for right worship of God had waned, and Malachi exhorts the priests to honor the Lord. Uniquely, Malachi presents his prophesy using a conversational pattern between the priests and the Lord God, wherein God makes a claim, the priests respond by asking questions, and subsequently the Lord answers. This book is a mixture of indictment and hope, pointing those who are indifferent to God’s ordinances to worship rightly while encouraging the faithful to stay the course and receive the Lord’s favor.Malachi 1 - 1:12 . Malachi 2 - 5:05 . Malachi 3 - 10:16 . Malachi 4 - 14:36 . Isaiah 61 - 16:12 .
