“Malachi 1:11
My Name will be great among the Gentiles (nations), from where the sun rises to where it sets. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to Me, because My Name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty.

“This prophecy of pure offering foreseen by Malachi, occurring in the future time where God’s Holy Name is great among the Gentiles, is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

.........

Sorry to inform you that this passage specifies incense offerings and grain offerings only.

No wine, no bread, no sacrifice. No blood.

You brought mass into the room with you.

The contrast in Malachi is between the evil practice of Israel’s priests at this time (previous verses), and the future pure offerings of gentiles in the millennial kingdom.

.....

“Incense accompanied prayers (cf. Rev. 5:8) and grain offerings were offerings of praise and worship (cf. Heb. 13:15–16).

“In that day people from many places would offer pure offerings. This refers to worship in the Millennium (cf. 3:1–4; Isa. 11:3–4, 9; Dan. 7:13–14, 27–28; Zeph. 2:11; 3:8–11; Zech. 14:9, 16).

Think this through in terms of multivalent prophecy-— having an application also in the NT, as most prophecies do.

I think you are familiar with the fact that many OT prophecies have, in addition to their contemporaneous OT reference, another, wider NT significance.

Thank you.
