THE PROPHECY OF MALACHIAS

MALACHIAS, whose name signifies The Angel of the Lord, was contemporarywith NEHEMIAS, and by some is believed to have been the same person asESDRAS. He was the last of the prophets, in the order of time, andflourished about four hundred years before Christ. He foretells thecoming of Christ; the reprobation of the Jews and their sacrifices; andthe calling of the Gentiles, who shall offer up to God in every place anacceptable sacrifice.

Malachias Chapter 1

God reproaches the Jews with their ingratitude: and the priests for notoffering pure sacrifices. He will accept of the sacrifice that shall beoffered in every place among the Gentiles.

1:6. The son honoureth the father, and the servant his master: if then Ibe a father, where is my honour? and if I be a master, where is myfear: saith the Lord of hosts.

1:7. To you, O priests, that despise my name, and have said: Whereinhave we despised thy name? You offer polluted bread upon my altar, andyou say: Wherein have we polluted thee? In that you say: The table ofthe Lord is contemptible.

1:8. If you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if youoffer the lame and the sick, is it not evil? offer it to thy prince, ifhe will be pleased with it, or if he will regard thy face, saith theLord of hosts.

1:9. And now beseech ye the fac
