Bible Trivia - 5/26/2008

Question: Which prophetic book's final verse begins: "And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers."?

Answer: Malachi. (Malachi 4:6)

Comments: Malachi 4:6 represents the last verse in the Christian Old Testament.

"He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse." (Malachi 4:6, NASB)

Malachi is not the final book in the Hebrew Old Testament, though it is the last of the twelve Minor Prophets in both canons. In the Jewish Tanakh, Chronicles (presented in one volume) is the last book.

Note: This rendering of "The Prophet Malachi" was created by Duccio di Buoninsegna from 1308-11.
