Malachi 4

The Great Day of God
1“For behold, #Ps. 21:9; (Nah. 1:5, 6; Mal. 3:2, 3; 2 Pet. 3:7)the day is coming,
Burning like an oven,
And all #Mal. 3:18the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be #Is. 5:24; Obad. 18stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“That will #Amos 2:9leave them neither root nor branch.
2But to you who #Mal. 3:16fear My name
The #Matt. 4:16; Luke 1:78; Acts 10:43; 2 Cor. 4:6; Eph. 5:14Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
3#Mic. 7:10You shall trample the wicked,
For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet
On the day that I do this,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
4“Remember the #Ex. 20:3Law of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With #Deut. 4:10the statutes and judgments.
5Behold, I will send you #(Matt. 11:14; 17:10–13; Mark 9:11–13; Luke 1:17); John 1:21Elijah the prophet
#Joel 2:31Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
6And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and #Zech. 14:12strike the earth with #Zech. 5:3a curse.”
