Background

The text reveals God speaking through prophet Malachi to the people of Judah around 450 BC after their return from exile.

The book is firstly to reiterate Gods unfailing love which wasn’t appreciated, bring the people (priest (majorly) and non-priest) to the point where they abandon their sins and evil.

The book has a whole lot against the first recipients and by extension to everyone particularly as regards the quality of offerings to God viz:

Offering:

Polluted offering                                                          vs 7

Blind offerings                                                             vs 8

Lame and sick offering                                                 vs 8

Torn offering                                                                 vs 13 

The era of animal sacrifices ended with God offering His son once for all Eph 5:2c (KJV) which says and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour also Gal 1:4.

There are New Testament offerings however some of which are prayer praises among others. Psalm 50:23 says whoso offereth praise glorifieth me and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.
