The Never Ending War
Adrian Rogers
Malachi 1:1-5


I want you to take God's Word and open right where we were this morning to the book of Malachi chapter 1. And I'm not going to be preaching through the book of Malachi on Sunday mornings and Sunday nights regularly. But tonight, I want to cover some material that I did not cover this morning. Actually, I preached three different sermons this morning. One at 8:00, one at 9:30, and one at 10:55, and all three came out different because I just had too much material in there.

That is, the wild animals would live where they used to live. Whereas Edom saith, we are impoverished. Ah, but we will return and build the desolate places. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts. They shall build but I will throw down. And they shall call them the border of wickedness.

Now watch this next phrase and underscore it. The people against whom the Lord hath indignation forever. I want to speak to you tonight on the never-ending war. There is a perpetual war between Jacob and Esau. And there is a tremendous lesson that is to be learned about this perpetual war. Now, I want you to go back to Genesis ...
