Malachi or Malachias is the name used by the author of the Book of Malachi, the last book of the Nevi'im (Prophets) section of the Tanakh. It is possible that Malachi is not a proper name, because it means "messenger"; it has been assumed to be a pseudonym. According to Jewish tradition, Malachi's true identity is Ezra the scribe.

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD,"
