My name shall be great
My name shall be great
Malachi 1:11 “For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.”
The worship of God has been profaned in the nation of Israel at this time.
Malachi has spent the early part of this chapter expressing God’s displeasure at their hypocrisy.
Though the people of Israel, God’s people, are failing to honor Him like they should, there shall come a time, the prophet says, when He will be honored.
The Gentiles, those foreign to the covenants of promise, will soon present pure offerings to Him. People who had no outward appearance of piety, described as heathens, and pagans, would be changed into people that worship the One True God from the heart.
We, who live in this age of grace, are familiar with a time like this.
A time when, through the sacrifice of Christ, people of all tribes, tongues, and nations are coming to know Jehovah.
Malachi 1:11 “For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.”
