INQUIRER: Please explain Malachi 3:7-10.

Bro. Eli F. Soriano (EFS): Let us read the verses -

Bro. Mel Magdaraog (MM): "Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?” “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.” “Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.” “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."

EFS: To whom was it commanded? "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house," To whom was it commanded? In Malachi 4:4 –

MM: "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments."

EFS: For whom were the commandments spoken to Malachi intended?

MM: For all Israel.

EFS: The Philippines is not included. If you continue reading Malachi, you will find out. You only read Malachi 3:10, then you stopped. If you continued reading up to Malachi 4:4, you will know that it is intended for Israel.

INQUIRER: I understood that only now.
