the final book in the old testament (Malachi). Later this week we will start reading and studying the New Testament. The theme of this Malachi is, Formalism Rebuked. The author of this book is Malachi and the date of writing is the 5th Century B.C. - MALACHI my messenger, the last of the prophets to the restored remnant after the 70 years captivity, probably prophesied in the time of confusion during Nehemiahs absence (Nehemiah 13:6). The burden of his message is, the love of Jehovah, the sins of the priests and of the people, and the day of the Lord. Malachi, like Zechariah, sees both advents and predicts two forerunners (Malachi 3:1; Malachi 4:5-6). As a whole, Malachi gives the moral judgement of God on the remnant restored by his grace under Ezra and Nehemiah. He had established his house among them, but their worship was formal and insincere. The book is in four natural divisions: 1. The love of God for Israel, Malachi 1:1-5. 2. The sins of the priests rebuked Malachi 1:6 to Malachi 2:9 3. The sins of the people rebuked Malachi 2:10 to Malachi 3:18 4. The day of the Lord Malachi 4:1-6
