Malachi

Malachi takes its name from the Hebrew Malakhi (מַלְאָכִי), meaning “my messenger.” Speaking to the people of Judah after the exile and the rebuilding of the temple, Malachi confronts careless worship, unfaithfulness, injustice, and spiritual apathy. The book calls God’s people to return to Him with sincere hearts and faithful lives. Malachi reveals the Lord as holy, just, and unchanging—the God who deserves wholehearted worship and promises to send a messenger who will prepare the way for His coming.
