“… I send My messenger, and He will prepare the way before Me. And the LORD whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant [agreement] in whom you delight, behold [Look!], He is coming, says the LORD of hosts“ (Malachi 3:1).
The prophet Malachi gave God’s final promises of the Old Testament. One of the greatest is in Malachi chapter three, verse one (3:1). God promised that He would send a messenger. This messenger would have a special purpose – “prepare the way.” For whom? He “will prepare the way before ME,” said the LORD (Yahweh)!
