The Day of the Lord Is Coming
1“You can be sure the day of the Lord is coming. My anger will burn like a furnace. All those who are proud will be like straw. So will all those who do what is evil. The day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord who rules over all. “Not even a root or a branch will be left to them. 2But here is what will happen for you who have respect for me. The sun that brings life will rise. Its rays will bring healing to my people. You will go out and leap for joy like calves that have just been fed. 3Then you will stomp on sinful people. They will be like ashes under your feet. That will happen on the day I judge,” says the Lord.
4“Remember the law my servant Moses gave you. Remember the rules and laws I gave him at Mount Horeb. They were for the whole nation of Israel.
5“I will send the prophet Elijah to you. He will come before the day of the Lord arrives. It will be a great and terrifying day. 6Elijah will bring peace between parents and their children. He will also bring peace between children and their parents. If that does not happen, I will come. And I will completely destroy the land.”

The Day of the Lord
1“For indeed, the day is coming, burning like a furnace, when all the arrogant and everyone who commits wickedness will become stubble. The coming day will consume them,” says the Lord of Hosts, “not leaving them root or branches. 2But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, # Ps 37:6; Is 58:8 and you will go out and playfully jump like calves from the stall. # Or like stall-fed calves 3You will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day I am preparing,” says the Lord of Hosts.
A Final Warning
4“Remember the instruction of Moses My servant, the statutes and ordinances I commanded him at Horeb # Dt 4:10,15; 5:2 for all Israel. 5Look, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet # Mt 11:13-14 before the great and awesome Day of the Lord comes. # Jl 2:31; Ac 2:20 6 # Mal 3:24 in HbAnd he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers. # Lk 1:17 Otherwise, I will come and strike the land # Or earth with a curse.”
