I find it interesting that Malachi 1:11 prefiguring the Mass says
“For from the rising of the Sun even to the going down, my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is Sacrifice, and there is offered to my name a clean oblation…” (D-R Bible)
I find it curious that Protestant translations render “Sacrifice” above as Incense (KJV,RSV) while the Douay-Rheims and New American Bible render it a Sacrifice. I’ve seen Protestants that will try to wiggle around the implications of the above verse by saying the Incense promised in everyplace is prayer since Incense is a type for prayer and the clean oblation in every place is prayer of a pure heart. I’ve also seen some Protestants try to say while the Incense fulfilled in prayer will be offered in every place, the clean oblation is the once for all sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. I think the structure of the sentence avoids these conclusions as well as the fact the earliest Christians a la The Didiache interpreted the verse as referring to the Mass… I be interested in anyone who knew about this verse in reference to the original languages.
