Malachi – The Choice of a Nation – 2011 – Florida

The prophet Malachi ministered to the Jews who returned from exile. In 586 B.C., Jerusalem was utterly destroyed (see Lamentations), and the final deportations of captives were taken to Babylon. Some captives (about 50,000) began to return under the leadership of Zerubbabel (see Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah). However, the 70-year captivity was not over until the temple was rebuilt and worship resumed in Jerusalem, in 516 B.C. (see 1Ki 8:46–53; Jer 32:36–37; Dan 6:1–17). Many of the sins cited by Malachi were already prominent in the time of Nehemiah (cf. Nehemiah 13) and were corrected by his reforms.

These notes are from the February 2011 conference on Malachi held in Florida.

Beauty for Ashes #2

Listen

God works through us via the Son, Spirit, and Word through faith. Three passages declare God as blessed, who brought us forth to a living hope, having given us all spiritual blessing (2Co 1:3, 1Pe 1:3, Eph 1:3). Disciples prayed the prayer Jesus commanded (Mat 9:35-38), then fulfilled it (Mat 10:5). The "Need for Comfort" notes are (Rom 5:12). We want comfort, but we turn our back on it (Jer 2:13). If we lack comfort, we lack in "seeking" (Heb 11:6).

Have you ever stood in great need of comfort and encouragement? If so you know that in time of affliction there is no thought or word that has deeper meaning nor any possession of greater value than that of effective and genuine comfort. The objective of this study is to equip us to have the assurance that there is comfort available and to know how to be comforted as well as how to be a comfort to others in the fires of affliction.
