• Together with moral insensibility—the special characteristic brought out in this chapter—there is always of necessity the loss of all sense of the holiness of God, and of what is due to His name. But whenever and wherever this is the case, God will cause His name to be honored and reverenced even by those who hitherto had not known Him. He will be glorified. (“Malachi 1” by E. Dennett)
• The introduction of the word king in this connection is significant. Not only is it the assertion of the divine authority in the kingdom, but it also contains a warning of the approach of the time when the kingdom would be established in power and righteousness, and when, as a consequence, there would be a limit to Jehovah’s long-suffering and forbearance towards those who despised His name. (“Malachi 1” by E. Dennett)
