Welcome To The Study Of The Book Of Malachi

The Malachi Bible study tells us that Malachi which is the last book of the Old Testament and is God’s last prophetic Word to the nation of Israel. It’s a post-exilic book, which means it was written after the return from captivity in Babylon.

The prophet Malachi, whose name appropriately means, ‘the messenger of the Lord’, is the last of God’s Old Testament prophets. God won’t speak to His people again for the 400 years with the arrival of John the Baptist.

Malachi wrote this book to show the Israelites, especially the priests that they have broken several of God’s covenants and He won’t accept just any old thing for a sacrifice. Malachi encourages the Jews to sacrifice right, live right and keep God first in their lives because the Messiah will come through them.
