Mr 1:2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Mr 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Mr 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. #(1)

Mr 1:5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

Mr 1:6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

Mr 1:7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

Mr 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

Mr 1:9 ¶ And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

Mr 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

Mr 1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Mal 3:1 ¶ Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

Mal 1

2. I have loved Jacob

3. I have placed Esau in second position

places of worship are silent

gave him desolation

4. Esau = Edom = Adam = man said "We will build"

Remember Babel "We will build"

Called "wicked territory"

5. The destruction of Edom will glorify God beyond the borders of Israel.

6. Priests dishonor God

7. Defiled sacrifices

8. Blind sacrifices -- ritual without understanding

Lame sacrifices -- not living the faith

Sick sacrifices -- in sin

9. Won't you ask for God's favor?

10. Why isn't there one among you who will STOP?

I don't want your sacrifice.

11. My name will be great among the nations

12. But you profane it saying God's religion is bad, and his word is bad.

13. Should I accept your inferior offerings?

14. Cursed are you. My name is feared among the nations.

Mal 2

1. This commandment is for priests.

2. If you don't pay attention I will curse you and have already cursed you.

3. I will rebuke your children. And make your reputation as dung. And make your celebrations abomination.

4. You know that I made a covenant with Levi which carries to you priests:

5. My covenant was of life and peace. I gave him the fear/awe derived from the revelation of holiness. מורא

6. He preached truth, and did not sin in his speech. He lived in peace and fairness and led others to repentance.

7. For the priest should preach with knowledge, and he should seek the holiness of God with his speech. Because he is my messenger.

8. But you are corrupt. You have caused others to reject the law. You have corrupted my covenant with Levi.

9. Therefor I have made you like dung before the people, because you have shown partiality in the law.

10.Voice change: Don't we all have one Father who created us? Why do we treat each other badly, and break covenant with God?

Why the voice change. How can the prophet speak as a man and as God?

Judah is chasing false gods.

11. Judah/Christ has married the prostitute.

12. He will be cut off

13. And you weep.

14. But you have been treacherous toward the wife of your youth and his covenant. (Israel, Church)
