Best Answer
A:The last book of the Old Testament is the Book of Malachi. However, there was no person called Malachi, because the word 'Malachi' actually means 'messenger' and is based on a word used in the text, so its author was anonymous.

Chronologically, the last book of the Old Testament was the Book of Daniel. This was also written anonymously, approximately 167 BCE.

The last prophet in the Old Testament is generally considered to be Malachi. He is known for his messages about social justice, the importance of genuine worship, and the coming of a messenger to prepare the way for the Lord.

The language of Ecclesiastes has close affinities with post-biblical Hebrew, suggesting that it was probably the most recent of the canonical Old Testament books to be written. Another candidate is the Book of Daniel, although some scholars now believe that chapters 1-6 may be older than the remainder of the book.

It is believed that the Deuterocanonical books, Ecclesiasticus and The Wisdom of Solomon were written even later than the Book of Ecclesiastes.
