Polluted Offerings
God is speaking, in this section, to the PRIESTS who were serving in Israel.[i]
Though – in previous days[ii] - the priests had been faithful, they now [after 100 years] had become corrupt[iii].
Their basic sin was that they had FAILED TO GLORIFY YAHWEH.
Mal 1:6
What was the basic sin of these priest of Israel?
[i] Cf ; , .
[ii] CF ; .
[iii] .
Another sin was that they no longer FEARED YAHWEH.[i]
Further they DESPISED HIS NAME.[ii]
They were going through the rituals – but offering blind and lame and sick animals as sacrifices[iii].
And YAHWEH was not pleased with this.[iv]
According to , what characteristic should be true of us if we want to live victoriously for Jesus Christ?
[i] Cf. , ; .
ירא yare = fear is mentioned 9 times in Malachi.
8 of them concern the fear of YAHWEH.
[ii] Cf. , , ; , .
In these two sections שְׁמִי = My name is mentioned 7 times.
[iii] See where θυσία = sacrifice is used.

[iv] , , where רצה ratsah = please is used.

Is There an Application for Us?
This seems to be speaking of the Assembly of Jesus Christ.[i]
Furthermore, the New Testament Assembly is often called a PRIESTHOOD of believers.[ii]
Note 1 Pet 2:9.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (, NKJV)
[i] The phrase בַּגּוֹיִ֔ם = among the Gentiles is found 3 times in the verses above.
But this phrase is also found in – which is quoted in by the Apostle Paul as referring to the New Testament Assembly.
However, these verses probably also apply to Gentiles living during the Millennium [Cf.
, ; ]
[ii] , ; ; .
We, as believer-priests, are to live in the fear of God in anticipation of the return of the Jesus Christ and also the Judgment-Seat of Christ.
See .
If Israel had had this mentality they would not have fallen into judgment[1] at this time.
[1] Cf .
