Hello Stranger, I understand why you are saying this, but do not think we should attribute what we see evidenced to Ishmael's offspring. For Abraham had six other sons, other than Ishmael, apart from Isaac (with whom God would establish His covenant - Genesis 17:21). Should not the whole story...

@firstthings1st. @Heart2Soul Thank you so much for drawing my attention to Psalm 103: It is such a blessing. :)

Hello again, In Malachi 3:1-6, Jehovah's Messenger purges all. In Malachi 4:5-6, Jehovah's Messenger restores all. * Thank you all for taking part, but I think the thread has now lost it's way. I'll say cheerio for now. With love In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Waiting on him, With respect, being a 'messenger of the covenant' is not something that can be applied to anyone other than to the One to Whom it was applied by God, in the Scriptures themselves. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Waiting on him, See Hebrews 8. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.' (Malachi 4:5) 'And Jesus...

@Waiting on him @VictoryinJesus Hello there, I have read Psalm 19 and Acts 6-7, along with the prophecy of Malachi this morning, and I do love both of the readings you gave. I found that they both had reason for connecting them to Malachi. :) Forgive me, if my reasoning does not (perhaps)...

Thank you ::) for my response would derail the thread I believe; I think it needs to be addressed separately. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto...

Hello @Waiting on him, I would like to come back to this with you later, if I may. :) Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @VictoryinJesus and @Waiting on him, "Thank you"- to you both. I will do as you suggest, by reading Acts 6 and 7, and Acts 6:13-15, and also Psalm 19 too. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Enoch111, I have been rather foolish, I'm afraid, and broken all my own rules. For I did not check on the wording in Malachi 3:1, and, 'The Messenger of The Covenant', had I done so I would have seen that:- * Messenger (malak) - H4397 [From an unused root meaning to despatch as a...

Thank you, @Waiting on him, I am not acquainted with that translation, but will look it up. :) In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Enoch111, I agree that the Lord Jesus Christ is 'The Messenger of the Covenant', but why is He called that? And why only here in Malachi 3:1? This is why I have been looking back into the Old Testament, to verses which I hoped would give me answers to that question. * Please bear with...

Hi @Nancy, Thank you for your kind words. Thank you too for the book title and Author, I will look that up and see if it is possible to view online. I hope you have a good day. In Christ Jesus Chris

@firstthings1st @Nancy @Enoch111 @farouk Thank you all for your input, it is appreciated. :) Personally, I can't get beyond the wording, 'The Messenger of The Covenant', for I believe that this title is associated with the original covenant made with Israel, as it will be with the New...

Thank you for responding, @Enoch111, I would like to discuss the sentence quoted above with you when I can. . In Christ Jesus Chris

'But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.' (Hebrews 2:9) Hi @Nancy, It is because Jehovah's Witnesses say this that I shrink from this concept; for...

'The Lord, Whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold He shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts.' (Malachi 3:1) Hello @firsthings1st, Thank you for kindly responding to my request, and taking the time to answer. * Yes, I...
