and I like what he says here I mean this is probably everyone's favorite verse in the book of Malachi okay he says I will corrupt your seed and spread dung upon your faces even the dung of your solemn feast and one shall take you away with it now when you study the Hebrew just kidding no what is dung dung is escriment it's poop what it is now you know I'm gonna explain what he's talking about here but I've never met an independent fundamental Baptist that has actually really talked about this other than our friends or have used this verse to preach from and and keep in mind you know this is God speaking here okay this is God God's the one who's speaking and and he's speaking through Malachi he's telling Malachi hey tell them that I'm gonna put dung on their faces he was like dang dung on their faces and he's like even the dung of your solemn feast even the dung of your solemn feast I mean he's he so it sounds like he's not playing it's pretty graphic you know he's what he's referring to the dung that he's talking about is the dung of the bullocks the lambs you know these animal sacrifices that they're giving he said I'm gonna take that dung and I'm gonna spread it all over your face now why is he saying that well if you remember in chapter number one you know they're over here complaining that the the table of the Lord is like contaminated it's polluted they're complaining about the sacrifices because you know the priests have to eat of the sacrifices right and he's saying well these are contaminated well yeah you offered a contaminated sacrifice you get what you are not what you want okay and so he's saying look I'm gonna take that dung of the the sacrifices that you think is polluted and contaminated the ones that you don't want and I'm gonna put it on your face why to make them a shame basically now here's my speculation this is what I think is going on here because go with me if you went to Exodus 29 go to Exodus 29 hold your place there in Malachi chapter 2 and go to Exodus 29 if you would I think the reason God is specifically picking the escriment the dung of the animals to spread on their faces was because of the fact that the priests were basically half-hazardly doing these sacrifices because in the Old Testament when they were to cut these these animals and and you know there's a specific you know procedure that they had to follow and they actually had to remove the dung from the animal and burn it without the camp you understand and you'll see later on in chapter number two he's saying that they're serving God partially so they're kind of half-hazardly doing these sacrifices so I think what's going on here is that the reason the priests are saying hey these things are polluted is there they're they're contaminated they're just not really that good it's because they themselves are not removing the dung they're keeping it there so God's saying okay I'll help you out I'm gonna take this dung that you're not removing and I'm gonna spread it on your face because that's basically what they're doing to God
