Malachi, Last message before total silence Thru the Bible: Malachi 1-2 This is the last book of the old testament and it a prophetic word to post-Babylonian exile Judah. In this prophecy God addresses the exact same three major sins He did through Nehemiah, not so many years prior. This was the last warning... a shot across the bow before theri sins reward them a spiritual desert to live and die in. Amos spoke of this intertestamental time of silence as "a famine for hearing the word of the Lord". This is the first in a series of 3 or 4 messages covering this fateful book and magnificent messenger of God - Malachi! Blessings!
