THE WORDSMITHS
Malachi (The Book of the Twelve)
God challenges the priesthood & the people one last time before the 400 silent years between the Testaments. My messenger speaks. My message is spoken. Why? Why have you doubted God’s love? Has not God chosen Jacob? Has not God rejected Esau? Why?
Read the written poem
Malachi – The Book of the Twelve
My messenger speaks.
My message is spoken.
Why?
Why have you doubted God’s love?
Has not God chosen Jacob?
Has not God rejected Esau?
Why?
Why have you sons dishonoured your Father – GOD?
Why have you servants disdained your Master – the LORD?
Why?
Why have you priests despised the service of your GOD?
Why have you brought him bargain-basement sacrifices?
Are you yourselves not messengers of God’s word?
Are you yourselves not speakers of God’s Law?
Why?
Why have you gone after other gods?
Why have you worshipped the gods of the nations?
You are like a man who leaves the wife of his youth;
A man who upgrades his spouse for the latest model.
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
“I hate divorce,” says the Lord God Almighty.
Why?
Why have you doubted God’s Justice?
Why?
Why have you wearied God with your perverseness?
Calling evil good, good evil,
Saying God blesses the wicked and curses the righteous?
Why?
My messenger will come
The Harbinger – The Herald
My Messenger will land
The MASHIACH
The WORD of GOD – The TRUE LAW
He will wash you and cleanse you, you priests of the Most-High.
He will burn out your dross and refine your unrighteousness.
I the LORD do not change.
And that is why you are not consumed.
Why?
Why are you robbing me of what is rightfully Mine?
Bring in the full tithe.
Do not stint the LORD your GOD.
See how I will bless you:
Your crops will ripen; your vines will bloom;
Your barns will overflow.
Why?
Why have you spoken arrogantly?
Why do you despise the LORD your God?
Then there were some who turned to the Lord:
A few, a precious few who honoured His Name,
Who sought out His favour.
Be sure and certain sure
The Day will come:
A Day of healing and heartsease for the righteous;
A Day of destitution and destruction for the wicked.
Remember My LAW, the Law of My servant, Moses.
Look for Elijahagain.
He will restore families:
sons will respect fathers; fathers will bless sons.
If not,
Look for desolation.
