“…The texts under investigation will be read in the context of Malachi's own time, in which Haggai, Zechariah and '3 Isaiah' also lived and worked. 17.For a hyperbolical interpretation, see Viberg (1994); for a non-eschatological one, see Van der Woude (1982); Weyde (2000); and for an eschatological one, see Baldwin (1972);Goswell (2013); Hill (1998);Snyman (2004);Verhoef (1972). An eschatological reading would confirm the eschatological pilgrimage of the nations to Zion as conceptualised in Haggai, Zechariah and 3 Isaiah.…”

In this article the eschatology of Malachi is investigated within its own historical context. The socio-political and spiritual situation of the early postexilic Persian era in Yehud is briefly outlined. The attention is then focused on the prophetic voices which articulated eschatological visions at that point in time. This article’s contention is that Malachi’s eschatology had developed from that of Haggai, being influenced in the process by the eschatological insights of Zechariah and 3 Isaiah. The conclusion is that in Malachi Haggai’s proclamation of eschatological hope is confirmed, albeit adjusted by the introduction of divine judgement into his eschatological discourse in response to the community’s disappointment at the perceived delay in the fulfilment of the promised future.

In the prophecy of Zephaniah, the fate of Judah and that of foreign nations in the purposes of God are intertwined, both in regard to judgement and salvation. Judah needs to learn from God’s dealings with the nations. God’s verdict and judgement on the nations (1.14–18; 2.4–15) are lessons for sinful Jerusalem, which is under the same threat (2.1–3; 3.1–8). Likewise, but more positively, and this is the focus of the present article, cultic unfaithfulness in contemporary Judah (1.4–6) is set in contrast to the prospect of future cultic devotion to Yhwh by the nations of the world (2.11b; 3.9–10). The prediction of God’s favourable dealings with the nations of the world is a salutary lesson to the Judahites and should motivate them to reform the cult and faithfully serve Yhwh.
