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.

Life of Moses #12

Jesus is called the firstborn of all creation (Col 1:15, Psa 110:1-4, Rev 19:16, Heb 1:4). Jesus was the firstborn of Mary (Luk 2:7); firstborn of God (Heb 1:6); firstborn of the dead (Col 1:18); firstborn among many brethren (Rom 8:29, 1Pe 1:4). A joint heir of Jesus Christ is our privilege -- reign (Rom 8). As firstborn of both God and man; He was dedicated to God to fulfill His purpose (Luk 2:22). Through ressurrection Jesus Christ claims His inheritence (Joh 17:17-19). Moses fully identified with the Jews (Exo 14:1-31). The Lord harrassed the Egyptians (Exo 14:25). Son of Moses (Exo 15): Ransom -- sacrifice of the Lamb -- the payment of a price (every member of the human race covered - 1Jo 2:2). Redemption - ehre the rasnom comes through blood, redemption comes through power (Hos 13:14). In the Red Sea God delivered the Jews from the power of Egypt. Reconciliation - restored to fellowship. Worship must have the right foundation (Exo 14:30-31). Example song (Psa 106:12).

After 40 years in the Egyptian palace then 40 years in the desert then 40 years leading Israel to their land Moses' life can actually teach us about living in the time we live.
