Top Highlights
“Doubting God’s Justice—Justice, of God, Doubted: the people in Malachi’s day were questioning God’s justice. People were doing whatever they wanted and no one ever seemed to get punished or suffer the consequences. They ignored God’s law and mistakenly thought God was ignoring them, too. But nothing could have been further from the truth.” (Page 342)
“They were robbing God by not giving Him sufficient tithes and offerings. The people were also blaspheming and rebelling against the Lord. In particular, they were questioning the value of serving Him and calling the wicked blessed.” (Pages 346–347)
“He took direct aim at their compromise and hypocrisy. He told them bluntly that they could not continue their wicked behavior and expect to be accepted by God.” (Page 339)
“The key point to note about this time period is that Darius had solidly established his rule and the empire was at relative peace. The Israelites were therefore free to rebuild the temple without outside interference. This removed one of the excuses the people had for not finishing the work of the Lord—outside opposition. God had eliminated this major obstacle and made the circumstances right for rebuilding His temple. For this reason, the people could not legitimately blame their enemies for their own personal failure.” (Page 161)
“God’s people need patience when seeking answers from the Lord. We must be diligent but patient in prayer. We can be sure that our prayers are heard. God’s Word declares so. But we do not always receive the answers we want, nor do we always receive answers immediately. The Lord responds in His perfect timing and according to His will. Therefore, every child of God needs to wait patiently when seeking answers from the Lord. However, as we learn next from the example of Habakkuk, this is not a passive or idle waiting.” (Page 45)
