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.

Sorry to inform you again that Malachi 1:11 specifies only incense and grain.

These are specific offerings in the required Temple sacrificial system.

No wine or bread as the elements of The Lord’s Supper consist of.

No blood. No presence of Christ. No memorial until He returns.

At this point in eschatology, Christ is reigning over the Millennial Kingdom.

Gentiles are bringing these specified offerings in a pure way, in contrast to the impure offerings of the priests in Israel.

That is the point of the passage.

You’ve entered into the territory of seeing a horse in the clouds.

It may look like a horse, but it is not a horse.

God spoke through Malachi and was clear.

Best
