God's Covenant with Noah

Genesis 9:1-7 God blessed Noah and his sons and said "Have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth.

All the animals, birds, and fish will live in fear of you. They are all placed under your power.

Now you can eat them, as well as green plants; I give them all to you for food.

The one thing you must not eat is the meat with blood still in it; I forbid this because the life is in the blood.

If anyone takes human life, he will be punished. I will punish with death any animal who takes a human life.

Human beings were made like God, so whoever murders one of them will be killed by someone else.

"You must have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth."

Psalm 9:19-20 Come Lord! Do not let anyone defy you! Bring the heathen before you and pronounce judgment on them.

Make them afraid. O Lord; make them know that they are only mortal beings.

The Lord Warns the Prophet

Isaiah 8:11-15 With his great power the Lord warned me not to follow the road which the people were following. He said;

"Do not join in the schemes of the people and do not be afraid of the things that they fear.

Remember that I, the Lord Almighty, am holy; I am the one you must fear.

Because of my awesome holiness I am like a stone that people stumble over, I am like a trap that will catch the people of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel and the people of Jerusalem.

Many will stumble; they will fall and be crushed. They will be caught in trap."

The Lord Reprimands the Priests

Malachi 1:6-11 The Lord Almighty says to the priest, "Children honor their parents, and servants honor their master. I am your father--why don't honor me? I am your master--why don't you respect me ? You despise me, and yet you ask," 'How have we despised you?'

This is how -- by offering worthless food on my altar. Then you ask, 'How have we failed to respect you?' I will tell you --by showing contempt for my altar for my altar.

When you bring a blind or sick or lame animal to sacrifice to me, do you think there's nothing wrong with that? Try giving an animal like that to the governor! Would he be pleased with you or grant you any favors?"

Now, you priests, try asking God to be good to us. He will not answer your prayer, and it will be your fault.

The Lord Almighty says "I wish one of you would close the Temple doors so as to prevent you from lighting useless fires on my altar. I am not pleased with you; I will not accept the offerings you bring me.

People from on end of the world to the other honor me. Everywhere thy burn incense to me and and offer acceptable sacrifices. All of them honor me!

Malachi 2:3-8 I will punish your children and rub your faces in the dung of the animals you sacrifice--and you  will be taken out to the dung heap.

Then you will know that I have given you this command, so that my covenant with the priests, the descendants of Levi, will not be broken.

In my covenant, I promised them life and well-being, and this is what I gave them, so that they might respect me. In those days they did not respect and fear me.

They taught what was right, not what was wrong. They lived in harmony with me; they not only did what was right themselves, but they also helped many others to stop doing evil.

It is the duty of priests to teach the true knowledge of God. People should go to them to learn my will, because they are the messengers of the Lord Almighty.

But now you priests have turned away from the right path. Your teaching has led many to do wrong. You have broken the covenant I made with you. So I, in turn, will make the people of Israel despise you because you do not obey my will, and when you teach my people, you do not treat everyone alike.
