Malachi (possibly a pseudonym)

The authorship of the Book of Malachi is debated. The name 'Malachi' means 'my messenger' or 'his messenger' and may be a pseudonym. Jewish tradition suggests that Ezra the scribe might have written the book under this name, although this is not universally accepted. Little is known about the personal life of the author, but the book is attributed to a prophet who addressed the spiritual state of the Israelites after their return from Babylon[1][2][4].
