This paper wants to re-examine the interpretation of Malachi 1:11 that suggests that worship offered in sincerity and truth under the auspices of any religion whatsoever is in effect offered to the one true God. Is this interpretation consistent with Old Testament teaching as a whole on the subject of the worship of the nations? Is it consistent with the prophet's teaching in the rest of Malachi? The author examines these questions, and then takes a fresh look at the text and its interpretation.

The books Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi form a literary unit. This thesis was defended in an earlier article. In this article, the author wants to elaborate on the main theme as it is developed in these three biblical books.

This article argues for a recognition of the books Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi as a literary unit with unifying literary connectors.
