It encompasses the idea of royal dominion, governance, and the exercise of sovereign power. In the Hebrew Bible, "malakuth" is often used to describe both earthly kingdoms and the divine kingdom of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of a kingdom was central to the nation's identity and governance. The Israelites initially had a theocratic system, with God as their king, but later transitioned to a monarchy with human kings, starting with Saul. The idea of God's kingdom, however, remained a significant theological theme, representing God's ultimate authority and rule over all creation. This concept was especially important during times of exile and oppression, as it provided hope for divine intervention and restoration.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/4397.htm">malak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a message<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>commission (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">מַלְאָכוּת</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>message</b></font>, construct <font class="hebrew2">מַלְאֲכוּת</font> <a href="/interlinear/haggai/1-13.htm">Haggai 1:13</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>message <p>From the same as <a href="/hebrew/4397.htm">mal'ak</a>; a message -- message. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/4397.htm">mal'ak</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בְּמַלְאֲכ֥וּת במלאכות bə·mal·’ă·ḵūṯ bəmal’ăḵūṯ bemalaChut<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/haggai/1-13.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Haggai 1:13</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/haggai/1.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מַלְאַ֧ךְ יְהוָ֛ה <b> בְּמַלְאֲכ֥וּת </b> יְהוָ֖ה לָעָ֣ם</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/haggai/1.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> spoke <span class="itali">by the commission</span> of the LORD<br><a href="/kjvs/haggai/1.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> in the LORD'S <span class="itali">message</span> unto the people,<br><a href="/interlinear/haggai/1-13.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the messenger of the LORD <span class="itali">the commission</span> of the LORD to the people<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4400.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4400.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4400<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/bemalachut_4400.htm">bə·mal·’ă·ḵūṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4399.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4399"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4399" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4401.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4401"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4401" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
