Matthew Poole and continuators on Malachi 1:11

11 For from the rising of the sun, even to the going down of the same, my Name shall be great among the Gentiles, and in every place incense shall be offered unto my Name, and a pure offering : for my Name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.

A Law term for a Gospel Duty, and under this Type is contained the prayers and praises, nay, the whole Gospel Worship is that Incense which shall be offered unto God, which is in the verse called a pure Offering.

Both sincere in opposition to Hypocrisie, and holy in opposition to impurity, and purged from Superstition and Idolatry. The sum of this verse is contained in that Ioh. 4.21, 22, 23, 24.

This verse is a very full and plain prediction or promise made on behalf of the Gentiles, that they should be a people to the Lord, and should exalt his Name, and Worship him in a pure way, and well-pleasing to the Lord. That when he casteth off Ceremonial Services, and Carnal Ordinances, he will set up Spiritual and Heavenly, and all Nations, from East to West shall submit to them, and sanctifie the Holy and Reverend Name of God in them.
