I will assume you mean Malachi 3:1. This verse describes the coming of the Messiah, whose way would be prepared by a special messenger. This Messiah will surprise his people.
The New Testament says this prophecy was fulfilled in John the Baptist as the forerunner (Matthew 11:10), and Jesus as the Messiah.
According to the Bible, at 1 Kings 16:31, Jezebel was married to a king of the nation of Israel named Ahab who reigned in the tenth century BC.
A key similarity between the Old and New Testaments is that both are dedicated to the worship of the same God. Beginning with the Book of Hebrews, arguably the earliest book in the New Testament, we find Jesus described as the high priest in heaven, a parallel to the Old Testament high priests on earth.The authors of the four New Testament gospels made frequent allusions to the Old Testament, using many passages from it to foreshadow the life of Jesus. The gospels also contain many passages taken more or less verbatim from the Old Testament, demonstrating that the use of the Old Testament elsewhere was not accidental. For example, in Mark's Gospel, Christ's very last words on the cross were, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" - taken by the author direct from Psalm 22:1. Even Paul sometimes used short passages from the Old Testament in his epistles.The genre of the Book of Revelation is apocalypse, parallelling some late Old Testament books such asEzekiel and Daniel.

Jewish answer: Our tradition is that from the time of the First Destruction, God's presence was no longer felt as clearly as before (see Deuteronomy 31:17-18). In addition, exile is not conducive to prophecy (Mechilta, parshat Bo). At that time, the living prophets (Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi) realized that prophecy would soon cease; and that the dispersal of the Jewish people, plus the almost continuous tribulations from the First Destruction onwards, made it imperative to seal the canon of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). The Sages of the time, including the last prophets, convened a special synod for a couple of decades, which was called the Men of the Great Assembly (Mishna, Avot ch.1). This group, who functioned some 2360 years ago, composed the blessings and the basic prayers of the siddur (prayerbook) and the early portions of the Passover Haggadah, made many of the Rabbinical decrees, and (most importantly) sealed the canon of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible; O.T.). It was also they who set the twelve Minor Prophets as a single book, and who set the books of the Tanakh in their traditional order (see Talmud, Bava Batra 14b). It was the Men of the Great Assembly whom Esther had to approach when she felt that the Divinely inspired Scroll of Esther should be included in the canon (see Talmud, Megilla 7a). Since the sealing of the Tanakh, no Jewish sage has ever claimed prophecy.
Few realize the New Testament didn't start until Christ died at Calvary. Heb 9:16-17... For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. According to the scripture the New Testament was not in force until Christ died. Christ was the testator and His death ushered in the New Testament for both Jew and Gentile. As long as the testator lived the new Testament was not enforce. Scriptures go on to tell us that Christ purchased the Church with His blood. This is not to say His life was not His testament.

The First Testament was created on 1999-01-31.
The book of Joshua in the Old Testament is not directly related to any book in the New Testament. However, Joshua is referenced in the New Testament in passages like Hebrews 11:30-31, where his actions are commended for demonstrating faith and obedience.
The word "testament" means an agreement in writing, between 2 or more parties. It is similar to a contract, but is much stronger, and binding. It is also known as a Covenant. The New Testament is the second half of the bible that is used by Christians, for which the first half is the bible used by the Jews. The God of the Jews prophesied (100% accuracy predicted) that He would send a New Testament, in Jeremiah 31:31. Note however, that the word used for "new" in this verse means renewed, not brand new. God was saying that he would bring the whole world to himself through trust, and faith.
The Torah was written by Moses (Deuteronomy 31: 9, 24), while the other books of the Tanakh were penned by the prophets.
From the very beginning God had a plan for His creation. In the Old Testament we are told how the universe was created (Genesis's, and we are told how the nation of Israel began. Then we are told of the history of Israel. All through the Old Testament we see Scripture that pertains to a coming Messiah. At the end of the Old Testament the Messiah still has not come, but hope still remains in many of the Jews that God's promise will be fulfilled. Approximately 400 years pass from the time the last book in the Old Testament was written (Malachi) and the story of the birth of Jesus begins in the New Testament. The New Testament is a continuation of the Old Testament, but with many changes. The Old Testament people were guided by the "old covenant" or the Law of Moses. When Jesus finished His earthly ministry He died on the cross of Calvary taking the sins of mankind with Him. He paid the price for our sin (But we have to accept Him as our Savior in order to be forgiven of our sins). When Jesus died and was resurrected the "new covenant" begin (Jeremiah 31: 31-34; Hebrews 8:7-13) This "new covenant" did away with the ceremonial part of the law, but retained the Law of God that is written in our hearts. We do not "get" salvation by following the letter of the law, or by works, but we "get" salvation by faith in the Son of God, which is Jesus Christ. Actually this is the way anyone received salvation, by believing God. Abraham, we are told believed God and it was accounted as righteousness to him. By faith Abraham believed God (Romans 4:1-4; Hebrews 11:8-12; 17-19 ). Most of the Jews did not believe Jesus was the Messiah and many of them are still looking for a Messiah to come that was God's promise. The two, Old Testament and New Testament are one story. The New Testament takes us into the future (Revelation) and is the end of God's book to us.
