THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 87: The Last Prophet |
|
|
The temple had been rebuilt and the walls of
Jerusalem partially repaired when Malachi appeared on the scene. The
priests had struggled with corruption since the time of Zerubbabel
and Ezra and the sacrificial laws given to Moses were being ignored
as they routinely sacrificed the blind, lame, and sick animals to
the Lord. The people wanted to keep their healthy animals and give
the trash to God. Corruption was normal in business transactions and
lying and cheating became a way of life. In the male dominated
society, the men were divorcing the wives of their youth, causing
these women to weep for the injustice they experienced. Despite the
cleansing by Ezra, men continued the practice of marrying pagan
women. Jesus was angry with these evil practices and the Son of God
was weary with their twisted Kabbalistic way of thinking. Although
Malachi was speaking to the people of his time, many of his
prophetic words are still valid today. |
