The last words of the Old Testament, read by Neville as a question left deliberately open. The son is the honour of the father, as the servant honours the master; if then I am a father, where is my honour? Thirty-nine books have prophesied that honour - that God will give himself to a man, and God is God the Father - and the book closes without it having happened. Neville puts the question in the first person and makes it the reader's: all these promises through the ages have been made, and where is my honour, where is my son? Because the logic is inescapable to him - if God is going to give me himself, and God is a father, he cannot give me himself unless I am aware of being a father. And not in the ordinary way: he fully believes he sired his own two children, but millions and billions have done the same, and that is not what was intended. God has an only begotten son, and unless he gives me that son I am not God the Father. So the Old Testament ends on a debt long overdue and the New Testament opens by paying it - here is your son - which is why Neville treats Malachi 1:6 as the hinge between the testaments rather than as a complaint about neglected sacrifices.
