The Lost Prophecy of Malachi
How did the ancient Christians know who Messiah would be? One sign was detailed in the first chapter of Malachi: “From the rising of the sun to its setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.” We talk with Mike Aquilina about how the early church was defined by Malachi’s oracle and how they found identity in the Eucharist.
