The Book of Malachi is the last book of the Old Testament and contains the last prophecy.

The people of Judah, who returned from Persian captivity, rebuilt the temple and the city walls, and began a new life by studying the law.
…However…😨
The love they initially had for God had cooled, and they gradually drifted away from Him.
…The Jewish people, whose gratitude and love for God had cooled… began offering things like material possessions and garbage to God…😱
…They gradually lost sight of their promises with God.
…
Non-Christians… probably think that when they die,
【they will go to heaven】
…🤔
…It would be 400 years from this time that the Jewish people who heard Malachi's prophecy would experience its fulfillment.
…For those 400 years, God remained silent towards the Jewish people.
…We too… can make mistakes.

"Since our sins have been forgiven, it's okay to do whatever we want,"
There are many Christians who believe this...
...But we...when we do something wrong,
we should immediately acknowledge our sins, repent, return to God, and walk according to His will.

Shalom 😃
