cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts." The
last part of this verse is never quot-
ed in the New Testament, and it
awaits fulfillment. Verses 2-5 speak
of judgment, not of grace. Malachi,
in common with other Old Testament
prophets, saw both advents of Ivles-
siah blended in one horizon, but did
not see the separating interval des-
cribed in Matt. 13 consequent upon
the rejection of the King (Matt. 13
16, 17).
"But who can abide the day of his
coming? and who shall stand when
he appeareth? for he is like a refire•
er's fire, and like fullers' soap." No
stain, no spurious goodness, could
survive his coming; as fire burns out
the slag and sifts it from the sound
metal, as a chemical lye eats out
impurities, so should the presence of
the Messiah infallibly separate the
true from the false, the seeming from
the real, the bad from. the good.
"And he will sit as a refiner and
purifier of silver, and he will petrify
the sons of Levi, and refine them es
golfs" sial 'S4vie;
"a..:a�;
ness." A refiner is said to sit before
that which he is refining until he sees
his own face reflected in the glowing
metal. The sons of Lvi are mentioned
first in this purification because,
until the priests were clean, the offer-
ings could not be accepted.
"Then shall the offering of Judah
and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Jeho-
vah, as in the days of old, and as
in ancient years." This verse is gen-
erally ignored by commentators.
Certainly the coming of Christ did
not re -introduce the offering of sacri-
fices. In fact it put an end to them. If
the verse is to be literally interpreted,
it must refer to a future period of
Ishael's history, when sacrifices will
be resumed. If the language is to be
interpreted figuratively, the verse
simply means that; when the priests
are purified, their offerings will be
pleasant to the Lord.
"And I will come near to you to
judgment; and I will be a swift wit-
ness against the sorcerers, and
against the adulterers, and against
the false swearers, and against those
that oppress the hireling in his wag-
es, the widow, and the fatherless, and
that turn aside the sojourner from
his right, and fear not me, saith
Jehovah of hosts. The contemporaries
of Malachi were satisfied with them-
selves. It was necessary that their
sins should be first brought home to
thin before punishment was inflicted.
"For I, Jehovah, change not; there-
fore ye, 0 sons of Jacob, are not
consumed." Jehovah remembers his
covenant in both its aspects: on the
one hand, his oral law reains vanalid,
and Judah (Jacob) suffer& ix the
present of offenses against it anal
will have to submit to a future ,judg- I
nient also; on the other hand, Je..
hovel's covenant and promise to be
the God of Jacob still stands, and
Jacob, although chastised, is not
destroyed.
"From the days of your fathers ye
have turned aside from mine ordin-
ances, and have not kept them. Return
unto me, and I will return unto you,
saith Jehovah of hosts.". Cf. Zech. 1 :
4. This is the invitation of One who
loves those who have gone astray.
"But ye say, Wherein shall we re-
turn?" This probably mans, In what
manner shall we zeturn?
* * *
"And I will rebuke the devourer
for your sakes, and' he shall not des-
troy the fruits of your ground;
neither shall your vine cast its fruit'
before the time in the field, said
Jehovah of hosts." The devourer here
referred to may be the locust, or
drought, or blasting, or mildew, or
hail.
`!And all nations shall call you
happy; for ye shall be a delightsome
land, saith Jehovah of hosts." Cf.
Isa. 62 : 4; Dan. 11 : 16; Zech. 7
1.4; 8 : 13. Here God reminds his
backslidden people that they have
even talked against him, and said,
hard things about him. This is often, i
to their shame, a sin of Christian
people when things go wrong, especi-
ally with those who are far from the
Lord. They blame him for those dif-
ficulties and disappointments which
are the fruit of their sin, and then,
instead of examining their own hearts
for some possible evil, they turn and
berate God for allowing such things
to come into their lives.
