At the same time the Septuagint translates the last clause of Malachi 1: 1, " by the hand of his messenger ," and the Targum reads, " by the hand of my angel, whose name is called Ezra the scribe.

Other details, such as Mulligan's Hellenism, his status as a medical student, his history of saving men from drowning, his friendship with George Moore, and the metrical arrangement of his full name ( Malachi Roland St. John Mulligan ) parallel Gogarty's biography.

The book is commonly attributed to a prophet by the name of Malachi.

Although the appellation Malachi has frequently been understood as a proper name, its Hebrew meaning is simply " My God's messenger " ( or ' His messenger ' in the Septuagint ) and may not be the author's name at all.

According to the editors of the 1897 Easton's Bible Dictionary, some scholars believe the name " Malachi " is not a proper noun but rather an abbreviation of " messenger of YHWH ".

This reading could be based on Malachi 3: 1, " Behold, I will send my messenger ...", if my messenger is taken literally as the name Malachi.

However, other scholars, including the editors of the Catholic Encyclopedia, argue that the grammatical evidence leads us to conclude that Malachi is in fact a name.

According to the 1897 Easton's Bible Dictionary, it is possible that Malachi is not a proper name, but simply means " messenger of YHWH ".

When burnt it emitted a fragrant odour, and hence the incense became a symbol of the Divine name ( Malachi 1: 11 ; Song of Solomon 1: 3 ) and an emblem of prayer ( Psalm 141: 2 ; Luke 1: 10 ; Revelation 5: 8, 8: 3 ).

Rumors appearing on various Catholic or sedevacantist websites and magazines alleged that Malachi Martin had Jewish ancestry on account of ancestral descent from Iberian Jews migrating to Ireland and Great Britain in the 15th century, and alleged him being an Israeli spy because of his first name, Malachi, after a Hebrew prophet and his extensive travels in the Levant.

Dwight York himself had his name legally changed to Issa al Haadi al Mahdi in 1990, and then again to Malachi York in 1993, but also adopted a number of titles and pseudonyms, including The Supreme Grand Master Dr. Malachi Z.

The Book of Malachi has one of the most quoted Biblical verses assumed to be about tithing when isolated from the context of the chapter, however when taken in context, it is clear that the verse is not talking about those failing to tithe, he is talking about the Priests who oversee the distribution of the tithe from the storehouse took more than their equal share, or who took the best portions of what was to be shared equally.

After this vision had closed, another great and glorious vision burst upon us ; for Elijah the prophet, who was taken to heaven without tasting death, stood before us, and said: Behold, the time has fully come, which was spoken of by the mouth of Malachi -- testifying that he should be sent, before the great and dreadful day of the Lord come -- To turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers, lest the whole earth be smitten with a curse -- Therefore, the keys of this dispensation are committed into your hands ; and by this ye may know that the great and dreadful day of the Lord is near, even at the doors.
