What reading level is The Ideals of the Prophets Microform Sermons Together With a Bibliography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But ye profane it, in that ye say " — not, indeed, in so many words, but virtually by treating Jehovah's table with irreverence — " The table of the Lord is polluted, and his food is contemptible. " The honour shown to Jehovah by the Gentiles is contrasted with the dishonour and irreverence shown towards Him by His own people.
The passage is a remarkable one. The sacrifices of the heathen, with the limitation, we must suppose, that they are offered seriously and earnestly, are repre- sented as ...offered to Jehovah, and as acceptable to Him. Malachi may have been led to this thought through his acquaintance with the doctrines of the Persian religion, which would be known in Judah at the time, and which were certainly purer and more spiritual than those of heathenism generally. But however that may be, the passage is a tribute to the truer and better side of heathen religion. The heathen do not know God as He revealed Himself to the Jews : still there is such a thing as natural religion ; and in so far as heathen nations recognized a being, or even beings, higher than themselves, upon whom they believed themselves to be dependent and to whom they offered tokens of gratitude and reverence and devotion, Jehovah, the only true God, accepts such homage as offered to Himself.
