Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Malachi 3:1-6

The first words of this chapter seem a direct answer to the profane atheistical demand of the scoffers of those days which closed the foregoing chapter: Where is the God of judgment? To which it is readily answered, ?Here he is; he is just at the door; the long-expected Messiah is ready to appear; and he says, For judgment have I come into this world, for that judgment which you have so impudently bid defiance to.? One of the rabbin says that the meaning of this is, That God will raise up a... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Malachi 3:7-12

We have here God's controversy with the men of that generation, for deserting his service and robbing him?wicked servants indeed, that not only run away from their Master, but run away with their Master's goods.

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Malachi 3:6

For I am the Lord ,.... Or Jehovah; a name peculiar to the most High, and so a proof of the deity of Christ, who here speaks; and is expressive of his being; of his self-existence; of his purity and simplicity; of his immensity and infinity; and of his eternity and sovereignty: I change not ; being the same today, yesterday, and forever; he changed not in his divine nature and personality by becoming man; he took that into union with him he had not before, but remained the same he ever... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Malachi 3:7

Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances ,.... Here begins an enumeration of the sins of the Jews, which were the cause of their ruin; and here is first a general charge of apostasy from the statutes and ordinances of the law, which they made void by the traditions of the fathers; and therefore this word is used as referring to this evil, as well as to express their early, long, and continued departure from the ways of God; which as it was an aggravation of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Malachi 3:8

Will a man rob God ?.... Or "the gods"; the false gods, the idols of the Gentiles; the Heathens will not do that, accounting sacrilege a great sin, and yet this the Jews were guilty of: or "the judges" F3 אלהים "deos, vel judices", Calvin, Drusius, Grotius. , as the Targum; civil magistrates; will any dare to defraud them of their due? see Malachi 1:8 .

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Malachi 3:9

Ye are cursed with a curse ,.... Or "with penury", as the Vulgate Latin version; which, though not a proper rendering of the word, is the meaning of the curse they were cursed with; rain was withheld from them for their sins, and the earth did not bring forth its usual increase; wherefore there was want of food in all their land; their blessings were cursed, as in Malachi 2:2 for the following reason, for ye have robbed me ; because of this their iniquity, in not bringing their... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 3:6

I am the Lord, I change not - The new dispensation of grace and goodness, which is now about to be introduced, is not the effect of any change in my counsels; it is, on the contrary, the fulfillment of my everlasting purposes; as is also the throwing aside of the Mosaic ritual, which was only intended to introduce the great and glorious Gospel of my Son. And because of this ancient covenant, ye Jews are not totally consumed; but ye are now, and shall be still, preserved as a distinct... read more
