¹ The burden of the word of þ^e Lord to Israel by Malachi.

² I haue loued you, sayth the Lord: yet yee say, Wherein hast thou loued vs? was not Esau Iacobs brother, sayth the Lord ? yet I loued Iacob,

³ And I hated Esau, and layde his mountaines, and his heritage waste, for the dragons of the wildernesse.

⁴ Whereas Edom sayth, Wee are impouerished, but we will returne and build the desolate places; Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, They shal build, but I will throw downe; and they shal call them, The border of wickednesse, & the people against whom the Lord hath indignation for euer.

⁵ And your eyes shall see, and yee shall say; The Lord will be magnified from the border of Israel.

⁶ ¶ A sonne honoureth his father, and a seruant his Master. If then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a Master, where is my feare, saith the Lord of hostes, vnto you O priests, that despise my name? and yee say, Wherein haue we despised thy name?

⁷ Yee offer polluted bread vpon mine altar; and yee say, Wherein haue we polluted thee? In that yee say, The table of the Lord is contemptible.

⁸ And if hee offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not euill? and if yee offer the lame and sicke, is it not euill? offer it now vnto thy gouernour: will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person, saith the Lord of hostes?

⁹ And now I pray you, beseech God, that hee will be gracious vnto vs: this hath beene by your meanes: will he regard your persons, saith the Lord of hostes?

¹⁰ Who is there euen among you that would shut the doores for nought? neither doe yee kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I haue no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hostes, neither will I accept an offring at your hand.

¹¹ For from the rising of the Sunne, euen vnto the going downe of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles, and in euery place incense shall be offered vnto my name, and a pure offring: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hostes.

¹² ¶ But yee haue prophaned it, in that yee say; The table of the Lord is polluted, and the fruite thereof, euen his meate, is contemptible.

¹³ Yee said also; Behold what a wearinesse is it, and yee haue snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hostes, and yee brought that which was torne, and the lame, and the sicke: thus yee brought an offring: should I accept this of your hand, saith the Lord ?

¹⁴ But cursed be the deceiuer, which hath in his flocke a male, and voweth and sacrificeth vnto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hostes, and my name is dreadfull among the heathen.

Hi Marika, if the CM you refer to is Cesar Milan then I don't mind saying that the man digussts me through and through. As far as I can tell he's a backwoods brute who is not averse to kicking dogs, dangling big heavy-framed dogs by the neck and other such alpha corrections' in order to *impose* his will.A South African friend told me long ago that, in South Africa, when dogs stop to sniff the environs, they call it reading the news' finding out who's passed this way recently, what state of health they are in and a whole lot of other stuff that we humans have no clue about. Modernising that for our techno age, I call it reading his peemail. I once met a dog with diabetes who had artificial eyes, arthritis, flaky skin and a raft of other age-related complaints, but the sniffer was still working so he still found joy in the world!

who was Malachi

Ryan's Malachi Chapter 1 comment on 3/21/2012, 2:18am...

Peter and Paul were Jews.. John the revelator was a Jew.
Would Noah be considered a Jew? My favorite Jew is Jesus!
If u came from the descendant of Japheth, you are Hebrew.
God will never be mocked by mere mortals, whose glory is that of the grass that withers in the heat. We will take our last breath one day, our spirit will return to our maker. I met the wisest of men, I said what is the conclusion of life? One statement was given: Fear GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, which is believing upon the only begotten Son , Jesus Christ.

Indeed God is speaking to his people today through the Spirit of Prophecy. Malachi is aperfect picture of the present day churches. There are several truths mentioned that Gods people overlook such as obedience to HiS law and the fate of the wicked.

Indeed as christians we should learn to give God the best not the worst( deformed gifts) for He is God.

If I were called to revive a sleeping or a dying Church, I would begin with preparing the altar upon which sacrifices are given because that's the root cause of spiritual death!

There is a way for man to see himself and his true relationship with GOD, i n this chapter, if he looks deep enough
