Episode 166. Malachi: The Swiftness of Fulfilling Prophecy
The Old Testament prophet Malachi predicted that the Messiah would come "suddenly" to His temple. When the Messiah finally appeared after nearly 500 years of waiting, it happened quickly. The same pattern has held true in many other Bible prophecies, such as Noah's flood and Israel's exodus from Egypt. In both cases a long time prophecy concluded with a cluster of rapid events. Will Jesus Christ's second coming happen the same way? Are the events happening in our world right now signs of Christ's soon return?
