Prophets Cease (Malachi the Last) (jan 1, 432 BC – sep 26, 406 BC)
Description:
The Atonement Clock by Christian GedgeAnother Sabbath is described in Neh. 13:16, but the last years of Nehemiah are not as precise as our earlier example. It was probably 423 BC, as he was back in Babylon by then.
What can be estimated, however, is the ministry of the prophet, Malachi. He was contemporary with Nehemiah. The 'intermarriage with foreign wives' issue is prominent in both of their writings, a prime example concerning Joiada, son of the high priest. This crisis enables us to place the last of the Old Testament prophets during the reign of the second Darius, the Persian. (Neh. 12:22, 13:28)
