Introduction1234ZechariahMatthew Introduction to Malachi
Malachi was the last of the prophets, and is supposed to
have prophesied B.C. 420. He reproves the priests and the people for the evil
practices into which they had fallen, and invites them to repentance and
reformation, with promises of the blessings to be bestowed at the coming of the
Messiah. And now that prophecy was to cease, he speaks clearly of the Messiah,
as nigh at hand, and directs the people of God to keep in rememberance the law
of Moses, while they were in expectation of the gospel of Christ.
