In this episode of "Pondering the Bible," co-hosts Ken Corkins and Rocky Ellison kick off Season 15 by discussing the Book of Malachi, the last book of the Old Testament. They explore the historical and cultural context surrounding Malachi, debating whether Malachi was a prophet, an angel, or a pseudonym for a priest. The episode features a reading from the first five verses of Malachi Chapter 1, where God reaffirms His love for Israel despite their skepticism. Rocky provides an in-depth history lesson tracing Israel's journey from Moses to the Persian Period, emphasizing the significance of the 500-year silence from God after Malachi. The discussion revolves around the theme of maintaining a personal relationship with God and the importance of individual commitment to faith. Tune in to deepen your understanding of Malachi’s message and its relevance today.
