MALACHI

^[p. 250] MALACHI

The Lord had left them in Zechariah under their responsibility. Malachi feels the reproaches of the Lord Jehovah on account of their unbelief after their return, notwithstanding His goodness; he announces to them the day of the Lord; the distinction between the remnant (the faithful) and the mass (those who are not so), (chapter 3: 17, 18); he announces the blessing of the remnant, and the coming of Elijah before the day of the Lord.
