Malachi 3-4

It took me about 10 minutes to read this passage. At the begining and ending of this passage God seeks to draw Israel's attention to the plans he has laid out.  "Look!" The prophet shouts. God has a plan to prepare his people for the that God has planned since before creation. A messanger like Elijah will come from God seeking to prepare his people for the final act of God's redemptive plan.
