In the study of the Book of Malachi (מַלְאָכִֽי), chapters 3:16–4:6, Brother Gideon Levytam shares how, in this final message to Israel, God promises to restore His nation to Himself. The LORD delights in those who speak about Him and assures Israel that He knows each one of them, recording their names in the book of remembrance. He declares, “They shall be Mine in that day when I make up My jewels,” promising to spare the godly as a man spares his own son. Malachi prophesies that judgment will come upon the ungodly, who will be burned like stubble, while the LORD will judge them in righteousness. For the godly of Israel, the LORD calls them to remember His law, given through Moses, and promises to send Elijah the prophet before the Messiah’s second coming, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to their fathers. This final prophecy spoken by Malachi, was shared some 450 years before the first coming of Jesus the Messiah, of whom John the Baptizer said, “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29).
