11 "My name will be great among the nations, from where the sun rises to where it sets. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty"
This verse is brought up by Justin Martyr who met one or two of the apostles as a boy. He uses this to talk about the Mass being perpetual from Holy Thursday when Christ initiated it. Totally amazing. It is one of many things that brought me back to the Church.
Especially when I see the priest using the incense with the priest offering the bread above his head looking above. Also along the reasoning is also there was only one temple for offerings in the old testament.
So how could this be in Malachi unless it is the Mass offering which has been continual for Two thousand years. Notice in every place too. There are churches on every continent. This fills the bill on this prophecy.

You say it so well, better than I can. I was gone from
the faith most of my adult life. I didn’t understand about
the Eucharist (40 plus years of bad catechesis). But, when I finally did by a “grace”, I can see why they are so many martyrs for the Eucharist.
I wish, I pray, our brothers and sisters in Christ would ask
Our Lord in prayer, are you truly present in the Catholic
consecrated host?
" Moreover, as I said before, concerning the sacrifices which you at that time offered, God speaks through Malachias, one of the twelve, as follows: 'I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord; and I will not accept your sacrifices from your hands; for from the rising of the sun until its setting, my name has been glorified among the gentiles; and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a clean offering: for great is my name among the gentiles, says the Lord; but you profane it.'"
"It is of the sacrifices offered to Him in every place by us, the gentiles, that is, of the Bread of the Eucharist and likewise of the cup of the Eucharist, that He speaks at that time; and He says that we glorify His name, while you profane it."
-"Dialogue with Trypho", [41: 8-10]
"God has therefore announced in advance that all the sacrifices offered in His name, which Jesus Christ offered, that is, in the Eucharist of the Bread and of the Chalice, which are offered by us Christians in every part of the world, are pleasing to Him."
First Apology", Ch. 66, inter A.D. 148-155.
All going back to Malachi 1
11 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: for my name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts.
You don't mean the temple where the curtain was cut in half allowing the people direct access to God, without a priest, do you???
And you certainly don't mean the temple that replaced the OT temple, the body of the believer, do you???
