Malachi complains of Israel's unkindness;2. of their irreverence and profaneness. For My name will be great among the nations This phrase emphasizes the universal recognition and reverence of God's name. Historically, Israel was chosen to be a light to the nations, but this prophecy extends beyond Israel to include all nations. It reflects the Abrahamic covenant where God promised that all nations would be blessed through Abraham's seed (Genesis 12:3). This is fulfilled in the New Testament through the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19), where the gospel is to be preached to all nations, indicating the spread of God's glory worldwide. from where the sun rises to where it sets In every place, incense and pure offerings will be presented in My name because My name will be great among the nations,” says the LORD of Hosts Persons / Places / Events 1. MalachiThe last prophet in the Old Testament, Malachi's name means "my messenger." He delivered God's message to the Israelites, calling them to faithfulness and reverence. 2. The LORD of Hosts A title for God emphasizing His sovereignty and command over the heavenly armies, underscoring His power and authority. 3. The Nations Refers to the Gentiles or non-Israelite peoples, indicating the universal scope of God's plan and His desire for His name to be honored globally. 4. Incense and Pure Offerings Symbolic of worship and reverence, these represent the genuine devotion and sacrifices that will be offered to God by people from all nations. 5. From where the sun rises to where it sets A poetic expression denoting the entire world, emphasizing the global recognition and worship of God's name. Teaching Points God's Universal SovereigntyGod's plan has always been for His name to be honored globally, not just within Israel. This challenges us to see the scope of God's mission as worldwide. True Worship The emphasis on "pure offerings" calls believers to examine the sincerity and purity of their worship. Are our offerings to God genuine and from the heart? The Role of the Church As the body of Christ, the Church is called to participate in making God's name great among the nations. This involves evangelism, missions, and living out the Gospel. God's Faithfulness to His Promises The prophecy in Malachi assures us of God's faithfulness to fulfill His promises. We can trust that His plans will come to fruition. Inclusivity of the Gospel The mention of "the nations" reminds us that the Gospel is for everyone, regardless of background or ethnicity. This should inspire us to embrace diversity within the body of Christ.(11) This verse contains no verb, and, as far as the rules of grammar are concerned, its participles may be rendered either by presents or futures. If we take the words as referring to the present, we are met by the insurmountable difficulty that in no sense, at the time of Malachi, could the Lord's Name be said to be great over all the earth, or pure sacrifices to be offered to Him in every place. Nor can we, with many commentators, suppose that heathen rites are here referred to as being offered ignorantly, through idols, to the one true God. (Comp. Pope's universal prayer:-- "Father of all, in every age, In every clime adored, By saint, by savage, and by sage, Jehovah, Jove, or Lord!") For there is no hint given of any such meaning being intended; and, moreover, such a sentiment would be quite foreign to the Old Testament, which always represents heathen rites as being an utter abomination, and always speaks of the adhesion of the Gentiles to the worship of the true God as a thing of the future. We are compelled, therefore, to take the words as a prophetic announcement of the future rejection of Israel and calling of the Gentiles. In every place.--In contradistinction to the one place (Deuteronomy 12:5-7). (Comp. our Lord's words to the woman of Samaria: John 4:21-24.) Incense shall be offered . . .--This is a possible rendering of the words; but this Hebrew word is not elsewhere used for "incense," and may more naturally be rendered shall be burnt, as the passive participle of the verb used in Leviticus 1:9. Dr. Pusey's footnote on this passage is well worth reading, as, indeed, his footnotes usually are. We prefer, therefore, to take the words thus: "an oblation shall be burnt to my name, even a pure offering." In any case, unless we are to expect some future establishment of a universal offering of material sacrifices, we must understand both expressions in a spiritual sense, which is, in truth, the only reasonable way of interpreting such passages. (See Notes on Zechariah 2:6-13; Zechariah 3:8-10; Zechariah 6:9-15, and especially 14:16-21.) If, therefore, any Christians would claim this verse as a support for their custom of offering incense in churches, they must conform also with Zechariah 14:16-21, and go up every year to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. The word "offering," as in the preceding verse (comp. 1Samuel 2:17; Isaiah 1:13), denotes sacrificial gifts in general, not the flour offerings as distinguished from the flesh offerings. The word "pure" is emphatic, not as signifying the bloodless sacrifice of the Mass (Council of Trent), as distinguished from the bloody sacrifices, but as the converse of "polluted" (Malachi 1:7). The above remarks we have made in no controversial spirit, but simply in the interests of truth; and lest any should suppose us to imply that the above interpretation was originated by the Council of Trent, we refer the reader to Dr. Pusey's Commentary, in which he shows, by quotations from SS. Justin, Irenaeus, Hippolytus, Cyprian, Cyril of Jerusalem, Chrysostom, and Augustine, as also from Tertullian, Eusebius, and Theodoret, that it is quod semper, quod ab omnibus, quod ubique. Those, therefore, who prefer so-called authority to the results of calm criticism are bound to disagree with us. . . . Verse 11. - My Name shall be great. The course of thought is this: God does not need the worship of the Jews and their impious priests; he needs not their maimed sacrifices; his majesty shall be recognized throughout the wide world, and pure worship shall be offered to him from every nation under heaven. How, then, shall he not punish those who, being his elect, ought to have been an example of holiness, and prepaid the way for his universal reception? The LXX. treats this circumstance as already occurring at this time, Τὸ ὄνομά μου δεδόξασται, "My Name hath been and is glorified." This could only be said if it was allowed that the heathen in some sense, however blindly and imperfectly, did worship the true God. But the notion cannot be upheld for a moment; and there is a general consensus of commentators in referring the time to the Messianic future, when God's power is acknowledged and worship offered to him, not in Jerusalem alone, but in every place. The participles in this verse may be rendered by presents or futures, but there can be little doubt that a prophecy is intended, and not a statement of a fact - which, indeed, could not be truthfully maintained. When such a future is in stere, is this a time for Jewish priests to dishonour Jehovah? Incense shall be offered unto my Name, and a pure offering (minchah). The universal worship is expressed in the terms of the Jewish ritual (see note on Zephaniah 3:10). The Hebrew is more forcibly rendered, In every place incense is burned, oblation made unto my Name, and indeed a pure oblation. Incense is to our minds a type of prayer (Revelation 5:8; Revelation 8:3, etc.); the pure oblation is the symbol of the Christian sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; and the prophet, rising superior to Jewish prejudices, announces that this prayer and sacrifice shall no longer be confined to one place or one specially favoured country, but be universal, worldwide. The Fathers and mediaeval writers, and many modern commentators, see in this verse a prophecy of the Holy Eucharist, the "pure offering" commemorative of Christ's sacrifice, which is found in every nation under heaven where the Name of Christ is adored.Parallel Commentaries ...
