Our Immutable God

The second half of Malachi's prophesies concentrates on the question of divine justice. Will God be just? Will he indeed punish the wicked and reward the righteous? How will he do this? Who will be judged? Who will be rewarded? These chapters divide into three sections: the certainty of God's justice (2:17-3:5), God's offer of blessing (3:6-12), and the importance of serving God (3:13-4:6).
