Malachi, which means ‘my messenger’, is the final prophecy and last book of the Old Testament. It’s followed by a 400 year period of silence (God was still at work in His world, but did not speak through prophets during that time), until John comes to prepare the way for Jesus, the Messiah. In God’s final message to Israel before that period, He had some very important words for them. He wanted them to know He loved them, but He also called them out for their lack of love and honor for Him.
