This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Malachi 1:1–2:7. It accompanies the Torah portion Toldot (Genesis 25:19–28:9).
Through the prophet Malachi God admonishes those who are in positions of leading and teaching His people. He indicts them for turning the worship of God into hollow rituals and disrespecting Him in ways that even human rulers would not tolerate. He then declares His plan to restore virtuous leaders and teachers, whose lips will preserve knowledge and impart righteous instruction. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls:Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
