Bob:
I was looking at one of the verses you picked Malachi 3:1 "Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple ; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the LORD of hosts.

Trying to break it down I come up with this-

My messenger= John the Baptist
Me= Christ
covenant= ? ? ? ? I'm guessing the new covenant of grace?

Fat:
This is the Geneva Study Bible has on Malachi 3:1,



3:1 Behold, I will send my a messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the b Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the c messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

(a) This is meant of John the Baptist, as Christ interprets it; ( Luke 7:27 ).
(b) Meaning, the Messiah, as in ( Psalms 40:17 ; Daniel 9:17 Daniel 9:25 ).
(c) That is, Christ, by whom the covenant was made and ratified, who is called the angel or messenger of the covenant, because he reconciles us to his Father, and is Lord or King, because he has the rule of his Church.

Proa42:
You know, I  think Jesus saying things like, "I am the Resurrection and the Life" kind of falls into the category of preaching Salvation to the Jews."

And of course John declaring at the outset, "Belhold, , , ,the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the World" might qualify as well.
