Journey Through the Bible Week 40 (40 of 52)
Series: 365 Day Journey Through the Bible
Donald Cantrell
Malachi, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zachariah, Matthew
Day 274 October 1 - Malachi 1, 2, 3, and 4
The book of Malachi is the final tick of the Old Testament clock and the expected tock will not sound for over 400 years. The prophet Malachi was the penman of this final book of the Old Testament. The name ''Malachi: implies ''My Messenger'' and is fitting for his writings. He was God's last and final messenger under the Old Testament economy and the consummation of that biblical dispensation. The New Testament will launch us into a brand new economy and an entirely new dispensation, one of Grace and not Law. In this book we will read about the ''Two Messengers'' that were yet to come, but in coming they would shed new light and life upon the nation of Israel. The two coming messengers were none other than, John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.

This silence would last for 400 years, not even a whisper would be given. Even though they would experience 400 years of silence, they did have the word of God and they could rely upon it and read it.
I - The Reproved Priests (Malachi 1)
II - The Rebuked People (Malachi 2)
III - The Relevant Prediction (Malachi 3)

Point to Ponder
What is sad is that during the days of Malachi, the Jews had corrected many of their errors, yet their hearts were not right with the Lord. The Jews were successful in rebuilding their temple, they were successful in reinstituting the sacrifices and the rituals, yet they had failed to set their heart upon the Lord.
Point to Ponder
The prophet was fearless in his truthfulness and his attentiveness as to the sinfulness of the Jews. He forewarned them that there was a dis ...
