Today is a beautiful day, because Malachi announces John’s purpose to prepare the way for the Messiah around 430 BC, “Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.” (Malachi 3:1 ESV)
