Hi forum.
Wasn't Malachi written before the destruction by God of the 2nd temple. If so, what temple does malachi refer to that the Lord/messiah is suppose to come to and what are the jews views on this?
The first time we see Jesus in the temple is in luke when He was 12 yrs old during the feast of the Passover. Then later on we see Him in the temple driving out the money changers during the passover.
Since the messiah is only suppose to come ONCE, why do the jews/Israelites of today think the temple in the first century was not the one that is spoken of in Malachi 3? (unless of course there was no real temple in the first century to begin with).Thanks and God bless.
Malachi 3:1 "Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple, Even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming," Says the LORD of hosts. 2 "But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He like a refiner's fire And like launderer's soap.
Luke 2: [i]41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now so it was [that] after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
john 2:13 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers doing business. 15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overturned the tables. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!" 17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up."
