Old Testament -> Malachi
Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces.
Malachi 2:3
Malachi for Skeptics
The book of Malachi is anonymous; Malachi is just a transliteration of the Hebrew words for “my messenger.”.
Here are some highlights.
• God, for some strange reason, “hated Esau.” 1:3
• God continues to demand animal sacrifices. And not just any animals will do. He is insulted when blind, lame, or sick animals are killed for him. 1:8, 13-14
• Give glory to God or he will curse you. 2:2
• God hates the Edomites, and his hatred will last forever. 1:4
• “Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces.” 2:3
• God will burn “the wicked” and the “righteous” will walk around on their ashes. 4:1-3
• The Old Testament ends fittingly with these words: “lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” 4:6
