Was the prophet Malachi successful?
A:We do not really know the prophet who wrote the Book of Malachi, but there was no person called Malachi. The word 'Malachi', used in the title of the book, actually means 'messenger' and is based on its use in the text. The author was anonymous, so we know nothing about him. B:Malachi (which means my messenger or my angel) was a prophet who ministered after the exile (after 538 B.C.). Malachi was successful in showing that God does not want you to doubt or profane His love, that God says to dishonor marriage agreements is to dishonor Him, that God does not want you to doubt His justice, that God does not want you to rob Him of His tithe, that God wants you to know that honoring Him is worth the wait. Malachi was successful is showing that God is interested in every area of your life and is still at work to complete His plan of salvation.

How did Malachi become a prophet?
AnswerThere was never a person called Malachi. The Book of Malachi was written anonymously. probably in the early post-exilic period. Verses 3:1-4 refer to 'my messenger' (Hebrew: mal'aki) and it is this reference that gives the book its name: Malachi. Answer:The Bible doesn't go into great detail as to the history of the calling of all of its prophets as it does, say, for Moses. But, in all cases, they are "called by God.""All scripture is given by inspiration of God..." (II Tim.3:16). The book of Malachi is scripture. So, God inspired Malachi to write.2 Peter 1:21 -for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. [NKJV] Answer:In Malachi 1:1 the author calls the book "The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. Any message (also called a burden or an oracle) delivered to Israel or Judah from the LORD was delivered by a prophet, therefore we know that Malachi was a messenger. Malachi means "by hand of the messenger", and there were 2 kinds of messengers- angels and prophets, and each is clearly identified as the deliverer of the message. Malachi is not an angel, so we know that he's a prophet.Malachi, Malachias or Mal'achi, meaning "By Hand of the Messenger" was a Jewish prophet in the Hebrew Bible. Brother of Nathaniel and Josiah. Malachi was the writer of the Book of Malachi, the last book of the Neviim (prophets) section in the Jewish Tanakh. In the Christian Old Testament, the Prophetic Books are placed last, making Book of Malachi the last Old Testament book before the New Testament. The editors of the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia implied that he prophesied after Haggai and Zechariah (Malachi 1:10; 3:1, 3:10) and speculated that he delivered his prophecies about 420 BC, after the second return of Nehemiah from Persia (Nehemiah 13:6), or possibly before his return, comparing Malachi 2:8 with Nehemiah 13:15; Malachi 2:10-16 with Nehemiah 13:23).Malachi was the last of the prophets before the 400 silent years between the close of the Dispensation of the Prophets and the Dispensation of the Messiah.
