MALACHI

Considered as the last of the twelve Jewish prophets

It is said that after the last prophets Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi died, the Divine Spirit of prophetic revelation departed from the Jewish people.

Malachi makes it even clearer that the Jewish people were singled out by G-d to be His people.

On a deeper sense, it is all a love of choice. Thus, cannot be justified by logic alone.”

“For I, Hashem, have not changed; …”
3:6

I Will Not Accept

Malachi On The Type Of Offering You Bring

Should Animal Sacrifice or Offering be acceptable to G-d, find out how Jesus qualifies or disqualifies himself in plain words.

“Esau Vs. Jacob”

“Disrespect”

“Repulsive Offerings”

The prophecy of the word of Hashem to Israel, by the hand of Malachi:
1:1
I loved you, says Hashem; but you say, ‘How have You loved us?’ Was not Esau the brother of Jacob — the word of Hashem — yet I loved Jacob.
:2
A son will honor his father and a servant his master. If I am a Father where is my honor? And if I am a Master where is My fear? says Hashem, Master of Legions, to you, the Kohanim who scorn My Name. Yet you say, ‘How have we scorned Your Name?
:6
When you present a blind animal for sacrifice, is nothing wrong? And when you present a lame or sick [animal], is nothing wrong? Present it, if you please, to your governor: Would he be pleased with you or show you favor? said Hashem, Master of Legions.
:8
… I have no desire for you, said Hashem, Master of Legions, and I will not accept an offering from your hand.
:10
For from the rising of the sun to its setting My Name is great among the nations, …
:11
You say, ‘Behold, this [offering] is so burdensome, … You bring the stolen and the lame, and the sick [animal], and bring [it] as an offering — shall I accept it from your hand? says Hashem.
:13
Cursed be the charlatan who has a [superior] ram in his flock, but vows and sacrifices a blemished [animal] to the Lord! For I am a great King, says Hashem, Master of Legions, and My Name is awesome among the nations.
:14

1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel in the hand of Malachi.
2 I loved you, said the Lord, and you said, “How have You loved us?” Was not Esau a brother to Jacob? says the Lord. And I loved Jacob.
3 And I hated Esau, and I made his mountains desolate and his heritage into [a habitat for] the jackals of the desert.
4 Should Edom say, “We were poor, but we will return and build the ruins”? So said the Lord of Hosts: They shall build, but I will demolish; and they shall be called the border of wickedness and the people whom the Lord has damned forever.
5 And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, “The Lord is great beyond the border of Israel.”
6 A son honors a father, and a slave his master. Now if I am a father, where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is My fear? says the Lord of Hosts to you, the priests, who despise My name. But you said, “How have we despised Your Name?”
7 You offer on My altar defiled food, yet you say, “How have we defiled You?” By your saying, “God’s table is contemptible.”
8 When you offer a blind [animal] for a sacrifice, is there nothing wrong? And when you offer a lame or a sick one, is there nothing wrong? Were you to offer it to your governor, would he accept you or would he favor you? says the Lord of Hosts.
9 And now, will you pray before the Lord that He be gracious to us? This has come from your hand. Will He favor any of you? says the Lord of Hosts.
10 O that there were even one among you that would close the doors [of the Temple] and that you would not kindle fire on My altar in vain! I have no desire in you, says the Lord of Hosts. Neither will I accept an offering from your hand.
11 For, from the rising of the sun until its setting, My Name is great among the nations, and everywhere offerings are burnt and offered up to My Name; yea, a pure oblation, for My Name is great among the nations, says the Lord of Hosts.
12 But you are profaning it by your saying, “The Lord’s table is defiled”; and its expression is “Its food is contemptible.”
13 And you say, “Here is a weary one,” and you cause it pain, says the Lord of Hosts. And you brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame and the sick. And you bring an offering-will I accept it from your hand? says the Lord.
14 And cursed is he who deals craftily; although there is a ram in his flock, he vows and sacrifices a blemished one. For I am a great King, says the Lord of Hosts, and My Name is feared among the nations.

Remember The Torah

A perfect example of an unconditional love, is the love of G-d to the Jewish people. Not only it is unconditional, but evidently, eternal.

Offering or sacrifice, how acceptable and unacceptable it is in the eyes of G-d?

Honor G-d by keeping His commandments, lest your blessings be turned into curse.
