LORD.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A hundred years had already passed since the first Israelites had returned from the Babylonian exile when Malachi was called to be a prophet in the last third of the 4th century B.C.<br>The Second Temple had also long since been completed, and the last turning of the people to God\u2014which had persisted after Ezra and then Nehemiah had rectified the abuses\u2014had faded away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the prophet\u2019s rebuke begins with a declaration of love for his people, who, however, show Him no gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is followed by God\u2019s rebuke and accusations against the religious Jews and especially the priests.<br>The hypocrites who, through their actions, show contempt for Him, the Almighty.<br>Outwardly, everything maintains the appearance of order; the religious festivals can be observed, and the priestly service and sacrificial ceremonies can be performed regularly.<br>But within the people of Israel, social and religious abuses are spreading more and more, and God\u2019s law is being shamelessly disregarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is followed by prophetic visions of the future; Malachi reports on events from the New Testament up to the coming Day of Judgment \u2014 the \u201cDay\u201d of the Lord.<br>Malachi calls the people of Israel to repentance one last time: \u201cFear of God\u201d \u2014  that is, respect and obedience toward Him and His Word \u2014 is always followed by blessing, but disobedience and selfishness must be followed by judgment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the people of Israel, a long silence now follows \u2014 complete silence from God \u2014 everything has been said regarding this covenant based on the commandments of Moses.<br>Until, nearly half a millennium later, John the Baptist and Jesus, the Christ Himself, appear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of Malachi\u2019s prophecies concerning the first coming of Jesus have long since been fulfilled \u2014 and have laid the foundation for our faith!<br>Only the Jews, who reject Him as the Messiah, continue to pray and wait for Him to this day\u2014or at least for another prophet, a messenger of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think, however, that this last of the \u201cminor prophets\u201d from the covenant God made with the people of Israel should remind us\u2014at least everyone who calls themselves a Christian\u2014above all of the second coming of Christ and its significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that all piety, all sacrifices, all deeds that do not come from a joyful, honest, and grateful heart\u2014are worth nothing before God.<br>But also that a return to God and HIS Word is possible for every person as long as they live\u2014<br>and our loving Creator is waiting only for our repentance toward HIM!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-2516_1b2826-5a .kt-block-spacer{height:30px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-2516_1b2826-5a
