The Book of Malachi

The final book of the Old Testament, Malachi received its name from its author (Malachi 1:1). In Hebrew, the name comes from a word meaning “messenger,” which points to Malachi’s role as a prophet of the Lord, delivering God’s message to God’s people.

Malachi Chapter 1 Part 1

Baruch Korman • Malachi 1:8

Do you want to make better decisions and live a life that is full, meaningful, and praiseworthy to God? It's not a secret on how to do that. The Word of God is very clear. You simply need to agree with him, recognize God's authority over your life. And when you submit to His instructions, you take his counsel and apply it to your life. When you agree with him, good things are going to be the result. You are going to find yourself being the recipient of the promises of God and experiencing his present in your life in order that you can over come.

Malachi Chapter 1 Part 2

Baruch Korman • Malachi 1:9–14

Many people are spiritually frustrated, and they don't even know it. They don't know contentment. They don't know that inner peace. They are not experiencing joy in their life. And they are simply defeated. And here's the key by themselves, because they won't do what's necessary to see a victorious change happen to them. And what must they do? They must agree with God. They must see themselves as God sees them, and then turn to Him for assistance.

Malachi Chapter 2 Part 1

Baruch Korman • Malachi 2:1–9

Are you fearing God? Over and over in the Scripture? God's people are called to fear him. We know the familiar scripture that says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. So what does it mean to fear God? Now many people will point out this means to give God respect to give him reverence. And I would agree with all of that. But another way for us to understand the fear of the Lord is to give him priority over all of our life, and every aspect of our life needs to be subjected to him.

Malachi Chapter 2 Part 2

Baruch Korman • Malachi 2:10–17

Is marriage important to you? Because it is certainly important to God. And it affects our relationship with our Lord and Savior, meaning this if someone is not faithful to that marriage covenant, and indeed marriage is spoken of in the Bible, as a covenant. And if you're not faithful to that marriage covenant, not only is it going to affect your own personal relationship with God, but it's also going to have a destructive influence in society, as the family is in disrepair, not following the ways of God broken down because a man has left his wife.

Malachi Chapter 3 Part 1

Baruch Korman • Malachi 3:1–6

Do you realize how good God is how much he loves you, you see your sins had been forgiven. And you have assurance from him, that you are going to be in His Kingdom, in His presence, receiving His blessings and promises for all of eternity. And all of that is based upon what he has done, and who he is. All that you and I have done is that we have received it by faith meaning we believed a God who does not lie. And because of how good God is, we should be like Him.

Malachi Chapter 3 Part 2

Baruch Korman • Malachi 3:7–18

Israel has had a chronic problem. And that problem is not trusting in God, doubting that God is faithful. We have learned that our God is a God of blessing he desires and finds joy in blessing his covenant people. But in order to find that blessing, we need to make wise decisions. That is we need to agree with God and implement his truth, his purposes into our life. And then God is going to demonstrate to us how much he loves us and how faithful he is to his word.

Malachi Chapter 4

Baruch Korman • Malachi 4

I have a wonderful theme in this study. The theme is the judgment of God. And it might seem odd to you that I said, I have a wonderful thing. You see, when you understand God's judgment, from a biblical perspective, how the prophets reveal it, you are going to understand that good things come about because of God's judgment.
