Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible Henry's Concise
- Malachi
by Matthew Henry
** Malachi was the last of the prophets, and is supposed to have prophesied B.C. 420. He reproves the priests and the people for the evil practices into which they had fallen, and invites them to repentance and reformation, with promises of the blessings to be bestowed at the coming of the Messiah. And now that prophecy was to cease, he speaks clearly of the Messiah, as nigh at hand, and directs the people of God to keep in rememberance the law of Moses, while they were in expectation of the gospel of Christ. * The ingratitude of Israel. (1-5) They are careless in God's institutions. (6-14)
