Unlocking the Old Testament Part 60 - Malachi 2

In studying Malachi, David Pawson points out 3 aspects of God we need to understand: He is the Creator from whom we come, the King under whom we live & the Judge to whom we go. David says the loving Father side in the New Testament supplements this, but doesn’t substitute for this. Malachi challenges the priests. Faulty sacrifices were being made; sermons were given for popularity rather than the truths of God; they were man-pleasers instead of God-fearers. David sees a lack of the necessary fear of God in the Church today because he is treated with familiarity but not with reverence. The people were marrying outside the people of God which God had forbidden, as he has today. Divorce was rife, and Malachi told them that God hates divorce. David says, judgment will come, but it doesn’t come by next Friday because of God’s patience. “Return to Me, and I will return to you.” David says there is a dynamic relationship between God and his people; he is responding to them constantly. There is an important word on tithing as well. At the end of the book: Get back to the Maker’s instructions; and the forecast of the coming of one like the great prophet Elijah to prepare the way for the Lord.

I've just finished Unlocking the Old Testament. It was so so helpful. I keep telling all my Christian friends to listen to this teaching. Thank you David! I'm so looking forward to starting the New Testament. I'm in the midst of grieving my son. It's made my faith stronger but I feel weighed down by sadness. To see David still praising the Lord after he also, lost a child, gives me hope for the future.....and what Jesus will do for me.

The way I approached the Bible my first time through has been to read a book then watch David's videos on that book. I finished Malachi yesterday and watched these today. I can't help but feel some melancholy at reaching the end of this series. But at the same time I'm filled with excitement and Joy that the next page I'm to open is the first page of the Gospel. It feels like this has been a long journey to get to this point and I'm thankful David was here to guide me with his wisdom and insights to prepare me for the lessons I'm about to begin learning in the Gospel.

This is a great message! Could I share a prayer request? My wife of 16 years filed for divorce. We have three children in their tender ages (15, 12, 10). She refused pastoral counseling and also refused marriage counseling. She does not want to work on our marriage. I told Diane I will keep wearing my ring and will never date. I am going to stand for our marriage until the good LORD brings Diane to the table of restoration. Plz pray for her. Ask the good LORD to heal Diane’s heart and bring her to the place of repentance.

Why don’t more preachers teach as well as he does!! It helps so much to understand the whole gospel!!

[@DavidPawsonMinistry]

David made a commitment to the Lord that he would speak the Truth, at any opportunity the Lord gave him, and wherever the Lord sent him, no matter how unpopular that made him. David is not the most 'popular' Bible Teacher and on many occasions listeners could not handle the Truth, especially other leaders Davids security was not routed in his job or his congregation, Davids security was rooted in his relationship with the Lord, and although on one occasion he lost his income and his home -his dear wife stood by him the Lord blessed them !

27:09 "we're not under the laws like sabbath..." it was practiced by jesus; all. believers in jesus, jews and gentiles then until now; and prophesied to be observed by all when jesus comes again. the sabbath is the prophetic symbol of the eternal rest with god only achievable through our lord. lev 23 outlines how jesus will restore us back to our father.

15:37 windows of heaven...amen. rain is what made their lands and cattles produce. they kept 90%. without that they kept far less and even have famines.

[@graceyow3392]

13:40 note that all tithes were produce of the land and cattle. it is the inheritance of the tribe because they were not given by god inheritance of land like all the other tribes because they were to serve the temple. the people of god gave more than just tithes. they gave offerings-including money. that is why the widow who gave her all was commended by jesus. tithe is a non-negotiable command: neither more nor less. offerings are according to how one prospers or wills. this is verified by paul.

There are two hates in that sentence....hate divorce...hate violence.why do you ignore the second hate???? David you ought to know better.... should people persist in a violent relationship because God hates divorce?.....

[@DavidPawsonMinistry]

Ann have you listen to the whole of Davids teaching on Divorce ? …. This talk is about the book of Malachi Not teaching in Divorce Does David says the Bible says “you must stay in an abusive relationship?” You raise many questions here :- - what does the Bible say about grounds for divorce? - Does the Bible say you stay with an abusive partner ? Even David says don’t listen to anything he says UNLESS you can find what he says in the Bible - if it’s in the Bible you have a decision to make - honour God or ignore Him One you have not mentioned :- - is remarriage adultery ? Whether to stay in an abusive relationship Or flee has nothing to do with Divorce …….. violence is not a Biblical reason for Divorce …..the question is if you leave an abusive relationship does that permit you to brake the marriage contract and imorw so I s marriage a contract that can be broken or a covenant that is only broken by death ? Davids teachings focus on the question whether Remarriage is adultery ….. And I would say you dont have to tolerate an abusive relationship - seek help - in Europe and USA there are laws to protect you - I acknowledge that unfortunately that is not true in all countries or all faiths Please listen to Davids teachings before judging him

[@willielee5253]

@bull terror, (James 3:1) is more to your point now since he has already received his heavenly rewards from Christ. [Time relativity] that is, it's better to pray for each other for the good, so that Christ think good of us - love one another!!!

[@graceyow3392]

13:40 we are not under the law of tithing. no, the law has not been abolished. only because there is no temple, the levites no longer have to work for its system and care. god's laws have parameters to be operative: thou shalt not kill if the person has not killed another. we cannot offer animal sacrifices as there is no temple wherein alone animal sacrifices are allowed by god. we do not offer dead animals but living sacrifices-ourselves, as we do his will and not ours nor the world's doing everything as unto the lord, to the best of the abilities he gives us wherever we are whatever we do that he may be given the honor and the glory.

[@bullterror5]

Tithing is NOT a Christian Practice... If Jews were cursed for not Tithing, what is happening to Christians who do Tithe instead of Giving? A CURSE, that's what!

[@helium73]

We shouldn't Tithe? Is there a rule that a church shouldn't charge people an entry fee? I don't think there's a rule saying they can't. I guess you would think it's wrong. Is it clear that the Bible is against giving a Tithe. A lot of people give more than just a tithe. A lot of churches wouldn't exist if they didn't but those people giving above and beyond and least feel good that they gave above and beyond. When I was in the Catholic church we'd give some of the change out of our pockets. I didn't know any better. I guess an adult at some point while going to church does a few calculations in their head and realizes wow, how does this church even exist? If everyone just gave the spare change they happened to have in their pockets there wouldn't be a church. How is there a clear demarcation between what the Old Testament teaches Jews and what we are supposed to get out of it? But giving 20% feels a lot better if you know your only required to give 10%. And giving the change in your pocket feels a whole lot better than giving nothing nothing is expected. If the church is good sized maybe change would work but the bigger the building the bigger the property task and utilities.

[@DavidPawsonMinistry]

It's interesting what is the New Testament definition "church" - it certainly is not a building, full of images, statues and idols ! the NT Church is body ......not a building , when Jesus died on the cross the curtain which separated the Holy of Holy from the people was ripped top to bottom and the "shekinah" of the Lord left the Temple ....never to return In the New Testament they devoted themselves to fellowship, to teh breaking of bread and and prayer, they broke bread in their homes and ate together and the Lord added to their numbers daily ...... and the BODY grew God did also not ask for a Temple to be built that was one mans dream - God wished for a Tent ...something temporary, yet mobile, we give so much money today to support a building and "organisation" which was not God's intention for his Church......buildings and administration take over and become more of a priority than feeding His sheep

[@marythompson2355]

Tithing is very serious. The law was for the whole Word of God, old and new Treatments. This is blasphemy...to say TITHING and Sabbath is tossed out. Nowhere does it say so in the New Testament. God says " I AM GOD AND I CHANGE NOT, THEREFORE YOU SONS OF JACOB ARE CONSUMED NOT."

[@DavidPawsonBahasaIndonesia]

Hi Mary you are obviously very passionate about this topic and I resect that What about the Biblical sacrifices - do you keep the same sacrifices of the Temple today - or has that changed ? The key here is not that God has changed but Christs sacrifice is the complete sacrifice once and for all - His dealt has fulfilled the need for many of the rules of the Old Covenant, we no longer have a need for priests to intercede for us today nor make sacrifices on the alter for us which were imperfect - the New Testament is all about the priesthood of all believers, Christ sacrifice fulfilled the requirement for many of the old rules of the Old Covenant. If you wish to respect tithing and keeping the Sabbath holy (Saturday) because GOD has not changed then I respect you.

I'm going to explain the scripture more than what you realize and put it with two another scripture from the Bible,Matthew 24:37-39 King James Version 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be,,,,,,,,,,, also as in the days of Noah who was Noah a messenger from God,,,hmmmmm, now this next part your pastor will tell you it has to do with John the Baptist but what you don't realize is John the Baptist only completed part of the prophecy,, and there has not been no dreadful day of the Lord yet has there oh but it's coming but here is the scripture that fits in with the scripture I just shared wonder things are put together hmmmmm ,May 23, 2016 - We read, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse,,,,, now the third prophecy,,,,, what is to be done in the end of days before Elijah shows up,,,, to prepare the bride for the bridegroom the final preparation,,now in the end of days how's everyone going to fly over to Israel ,,,, you're not that is the purpose of the mountains and I say mountains of the Lord's house because the Lord's reach is beyond Israel that is also in the Bible but here's you some scripture to help explain perhaps,,,,,,,,Isaiah 2:2-3 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow into ,,,,,,now there's your three scriptures that go together something that many do not know of but God does and he told me the true meaning of all three and how they go together because we are in the end of times wake up wake up

"If you don't tithe, you will be cursed for generations!" And they got the biggest Tithe! And that was WICKED Teaching!

[@marythompson2355]

There were social, moral and sacrificial laws. Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill them. Sabbath...Jesus said HE is the Sabbath, so just meet with Jesus on the Sabbath and seek HIM on that Day. Tithing is 10 % of every penny you get and .. "you are just doing what you are supposed to." But free will Offerings are above what we HAVE to do in order to not be "Robbing God." This is declaring the whole council of God and must be preached. Also The KJV says God was indicting the husbands who were. "treacherous with the wives of their youth." Judgment is especially stiff for preachers who diminish HIS words, TEACH false Doctrine, etc. Show me ONE Scripture that says. THE NEW TESTAMENT THREW AWAY THE TITHE. THE WIDOWS MITE? HOW ABOUT THAT ONE?p

[@kelvinyoung1330]

This man is very good in most of his teachings but to say that tithing and the sabbath is done away with and the reason is that we are no longer under the law is totally ridiculous.It is so important that we do not make any mortal/sinful man our primary teacher but instead we should read the bible for ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit to be our primary teacher.
