Malachi 1:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Malachi 1:13

11 For ^afrom the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great ^bamong the Gentiles;
^cIn every place ^dincense shall be offered to My name,
And a pure offering;
^eFor My name shall be great among the nations,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

12 “But you profane it,
In that you say,
^a‘The table of the¹ Lord is defiled;
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’

13 You also say,
‘Oh, what a ^aweariness!’
And you sneer at it,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
“And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick;
Thus you bring an offering!
^bShould I accept this from your hand?”
Says the Lord.

14 “But cursed be ^athe deceiver
Who has in his flock a male,
And takes a vow,
But sacrifices to the Lord ^bwhat is blemished—
For ^cI am a great King,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“And My name is to be feared among the nations.

Malachi 1:6-14

These verses very clearly spell out that God is not at all pleased when His people defile the very special relationship He has established with them by means of careless, corrupted, polluted, defective, unacceptable offerings that do not meet His standards. Again I ask you: Do you honestly think that Joshua would ignore those instructions?
