0:00.0	The Bible Study Podcast, episode 794. Today, the Bible Study podcast continues the study of the
0:06.0	book of Malachi with Chapter 2.
0:12.0	Welcome to the Bible Study podcast. I'm your host, Chris Christensen. Malachi chapter two has three different
0:22.0	sections, and we'll start with a section called Additional Warning to the Priests. And now, you priests,
0:28.6	this is a warning for you. If you do not listen, and if you do not resolve to honor my name,
0:34.6	says the Lord Almighty, I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings.
0:40.1	Yes, I have already cursed them because you have not resolved to honor me.
0:45.8	Because of you, I will rebuke your descendants. I will smear on your faces the dung from your

1:40.8	so I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people,
1:45.8	because you have not followed my ways, but have shown partiality in matters of the law.
1:52.6	Okay, so there's something very specific going on historically with this, and unfortunately,
1:57.3	it sounds a lot like those pre-Babolonian captivity warnings here that you people, in this case the priests, are not being faithful.
2:06.6	Now, this is a little different in the sense that he's not accusing them of worshipping false gods as we had in such a large amount before the Babylonian captivity.
2:15.4	But he's still saying that their sacrifices and they're going through the motions,
2:21.1	that their sacrifices are not going to be accepted.
