The Minor Prophets - Malachi #4

Malachi Study #4 - Yet Ye Say “Wherefore?”Malachi 2:10-16In this passage Malachi deals with two sins which were besetting the people of Israel, and which were again, some of the causes of their being bereft of God’s blessing - which they certainly expected, and to which they thought they were entitled!  In verses 10-13, the people of God were causing God much grief, by intermarrying with the pagan people who lived in the land around them, - people were outside the covenant that God had established with Israel. In verses 14-16, The first sin is compounded with an even more heinous crime, for in order to bring these marriages with the pagans about, the men of Israel were actually divorcing their legitimate wives! Is it any wonder that God was refusing to bless these rebellious people. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
