Malachi is the last book of the Old Testament in the Bible. It is attributed to the prophet Malachi, who is believed to have lived in the 5th century BC. Malachi is the only book in the Bible that is attributed to a single author. Malachi is believed to have been a contemporary of the prophet Nehemiah, who was responsible for rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Malachi's message was one of warning and rebuke to the people of Israel, who had become lax in their observance of the Law. He warned them of the consequences of their disobedience and urged them to repent and return to the Lord. Malachi's message is one of hope and restoration. He promises that the Lord will restore the fortunes of Israel if they repent and turn back to Him. He also promises that the Lord will send a messenger to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah. Malachi's book is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is a warning to the people of Israel to repent and turn back to the Lord. The second chapter is a promise of restoration and the coming of the Messiah. The third chapter is a warning against false prophets and a call to faithfulness. The fourth chapter is a promise of the Lord's presence and a call to obedience.
