"Don't shoot the messenger."  It's a popular phrase that dates back to something no longer in use in the Western hemisphere.....a messenger.  Messengers were sent to announce the arrival of a king or important dignitaries.  Although mostly bringing good news of victory, and the dispersing of booty to the people of the kingdom, sometimes messengers of the King announced bad things, like "And who will withstand the day of his coming!"  That's what Malachi, God's prophet did.  He announced the king was coming, but not in anticipation of reward.  Find out what this message and messenger had to do with the king.
