Malachi 4
4
1Watch out! The day is coming—it burns like an oven—when the proud and the wicked will be burned like straw. When that day comes they will be completely burned up, root and branch, says the Lord Almighty. 2But for those who have reverence for me, the sun of God's salvation will rise with healing in its wings, and you will be set free, leaping like calves released from their stalls. 3You will trample the wicked as ashes under your feet on the day when I take action, says the Lord Almighty. 4Remember the law of Moses my servant that I commanded him and all Israel to follow—all the instructions and ceremonies I gave on Mount Sinai.#4:4. Literally, “Horeb.” 5Look! I am going to send Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord arrives, the great and terrifying day. 6He will restore harmony between parents and children, and if that does not happen, I will come and strike the land with a curse.

The Great Day of the Lord
1 # 4:1 Ch 4:1–6 is ch 3:19–24 in Hebrew “For behold, #[ver. 5; ch. 3:2] the day is coming, #[2 Thess. 1:7, 8] burning like an oven, when #ch. 3:15 all the arrogant and #ch. 3:15 all evildoers #Isa. 47:14; [Matt. 3:12; Luke 3:17]will be stubble. The day that is coming #Isa. 47:14; [Matt. 3:12; Luke 3:17]shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. 2But for you #ch. 3:16 who fear my name, #Ps. 84:11; Luke 1:78; John 1:4; 8:12; 9:5; 12:46 the sun #[Jer. 23:6] of righteousness shall rise #Isa. 53:5 with healing in its wings. You shall go out #[Jer. 50:11]leaping like calves from the stall. 3And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, #See ch. 3:17on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.
4 # [Deut. 4:9, 10] “Remember #See Ex. 20:3-17; Deut. 4:10the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules#4:4 Or and just decrees that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.
5 # [ch. 3:1] “Behold, I will send you #[Matt. 11:14; Mark 9:11; Luke 1:17] Elijah the prophet #Joel 2:31before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. 6And he will #[Luke 1:17] turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and #Isa. 11:4; [Zech. 5:3]strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”#4:6 The Hebrew term rendered decree of utter destruction refers to things devoted (or set apart) to the Lord (or by the Lord) for destruction
