11 For from the rising of the sun even unto 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 (Malachi 1:11).
God is reminding us of perhaps two things in this verse; one is, that how we behave effects how others perceive God; and two is, that eventually God will be recognized as great among all peoples. The story of the redemption of Israel is the story that would allow for and is a precursor to the redemption of all nations. Great is our God.
