Description
Malachi wrote because Israel had departed from the Lord. They were required by Law to offer a perfect lamb, but they had gotten to offering that which was corrupted. The Jewish priests in Malachi’s day had to learn exactly how to kill a lamb. When Jesus the Lamb was slain, no more sacrificial lambs were slain. The hypocrisy that God hates is when we sin & then arrogantly act as if we did not.
