Malachi is deemed as a lesser prophet by those that esteem themselves higher than they ought. He was and is with our Lord and spoke His truth as relevant today as it was when he spoke to the nation. Speaking of their complacent attitudes that led to falsehoods in teaching, froward doctrinal instructions and completely against the tenets of God. He spoke to the coming of Jesus and his being the refiner and Fuller’s Soap. To cleanse us and remove our stains.
