“I will put this third through the fire; I will refine them as silver is refined and test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. They will say: They are my people, and they will say: The Lᴏʀᴅ is our God." —Zechariah 13:9 “But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and playfully jump like calves from the stall.” —Malachi 4:2   Zechariah and Malachi, the final two books of the Old Testament, proclaim the faithfulness of the one true God. After years in exile, the people of Judah returned to Jerusalem and found themselves trapped by discouragement—surrounded by enemies and doubting God’s love, His promises, and their future.
