Malachi
Malachi 1:6-14
In a recent sermon, Pastor Jimmy Gill of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, pointed to the chiastic structure of Malachi 1:6-14, neatly marked by a sevenfold repetition of the phrase “says Yahweh of hosts.”
A. Priests dishonor Yahweh their Father, 1:6a
B. Blemished offerings on my altar, 1:6b-8
C. Will God be gracious to those who offer bad sacrifices, 1:9
D. Stop kindling fire on my altar, 1:10
