Study 2 From the Book of Malachi is: Malachi 2: 10-3:6
1.
2:10-16.
Although the people wept before the Lord, they found He would not regard their
offerings. Why not? What particular sin
was coming between them and God, and what ‘heart condition’ underlay it? Cf.
Heb. 3:12, 13.
2.
How
is 3:1-6 and answer to the people’s complaint in 2:17? What similes are used to
describe the day of the Lord’s coming? What must be put away? And on what must
my heart be set, if I am to be ready to welcome Him at His appearing? Cf. 1
Thes. 3:12, 13; 1 Jn. 3:2, 3.
Note 2:10, 11. ‘Profaning
the covenant of our fathers’: i.e., by marrying wives of other nations. Cf. Ex.
34:10-12, 15, 16. ‘ The daughter of a foreign god’ means a foreign woman of
another religion.
