Malachi

Who

Malachi — the name means my messenger, so some read it as a title rather than a person.

When

Fifth century BC, a century after the return.

What it is

A dispute in six rounds with priests and people who had grown bored: God accuses, they answer back, He replies.

What to watch for

The last book of the Old Testament, and it ends looking forward to a messenger. Four centuries follow before the New Testament opens.

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this,” says the LORD of Hosts. “See if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out for you blessing without measure.Malachi 3:10
