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.

From Series: "The Gospel According to David -- Rocky Mountain Bible Conference 2016"
The annual Basic Training Bible Ministries Rocky Mountain Bible Conference was 27-29 May 2016. In Psalm 32 David declares 'Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity.' Paul uses this quote in ROM 4:7-8 to support three great truths of the Gospel: 1) Justification is by faith in Christ alone 2) God imputes His righteousness to those who believe the gospel 3) This righteous standing before God is apart from works of any kind.
