((What is there to personally know about Jesus?))
What is there to know personally about Jehovah?
Can a person legitimately say they know Jehovah if they have never communicated with Him?
i would suggest:.
the short answer is yes.. the longer answer is a qualified yes, with some caveats.
the short answer is yes because jehovah’s witnesses teach that jesus is michael the archangel, their leader, eldest and most powerful, and have taught this since the very beginning of the religion.

have some time thinking about my recent and less recent personal history because of the summer holiday.. the 90's crossed my mind.
the years i became pimo.
a friend, a room mate during the 1993 moscow international convention, went to university.
And I have the October 22, 1995 and November 22, 1995 Awake magazines also in pristine condition where the masthead was changed, the first containing the 1914 generation promise and the latter eliminating 1914 altogether.

It can't and it was not meant to be. The question mark was a cut & paste mistake.

It makes perfect sense Jeffro since the discussion centered solely on inspiration and that is the only aspect I was responding to.
If I, like you, believed scripture was uninspired, I would not care what Joe Schmoe had to say or intended?
I assumed nothing about your interest in historical and political contexts.

Glad you made it through the maze Gorb and that your family is together.

Of course I believe the entire Old Testament points to Jesus Christ, who is alive today and able to save to the uttermost all who call upon Him. So what the writer of Malachi and others have to say is of great concern to me. And of course I accept the interpretations of the writers of the New Testament as authoritative and so they are of great concern to me as well.

OK...so you clearly do not accept that the gospel writers were inspired.
Do you believe the writer of Malachi was inspired...and by extention any of the writers of the Hebrew scriptures?

Definitely the gospel writers affirm the Baptist is bring referred to. Do you think there might be a dual fulfilment here?

Malachi 3:1 mentions two messengers: The first is John the Baptist, who prepared the way for the second Messenger, "the Messenger of the covenant," Jesus Christ.
Matthew and Luke's gospels identify John the Baptist as the first messenger who prepared the way of the Lord by preaching repentance.
Repent and believe is the order of salvation In the New Testament.

Who were the angels visiting Abraham?
Was not Christ predicted to be the angel of the covenant?
Malachi 3:1 KJV — Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
