« Malachi Summary (KJV) »

Pray for God’s Wisdom and Understanding,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Prophetical Books, including the writings of the 4 Major Prophets,
from Isaiah to Daniel, and the 12 Minor Prophets from Hosea to Malachi.

The 12 Minor Prophets:
Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggi, Zechariah, and Malachi.

39. The Book of Prophet Malachi, Chapters 1-4.
The name of the last book of the Old Testament and of the Prophet whose oracles it contains. Malachi (from Hebrew meaning "my messenger") is an invaluable historical source concerning the Judaean Jews during the Persian period. two themes are predominant: the sin and apostasy of Israel (1-2): and the coming judgement upon the faithless, with blessings promised for those who repent (3-4). The growing Messianic expectation in the Old Testament is apparent in Malachi by the announcement of God's "messenger of the covenant," by whose coming Israel will be purified and judged; and of the return of the Prophet Elijah who will proclaim the Day of the Lord.

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
