Malachi4

Malachi 4 prophesies a coming "day" of the Lord, a fiery judgment that will consume the proud and wicked entirely. In contrast, those who fear God's name will experience healing and flourishing under the "Sun of righteousness." The chapter concludes with an exhortation to remember Moses' law and a promise to send Elijah to reconcile families before this great and dreadful day.

The Day of Judgment and Vindication

1
For, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or branch,
2
And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of righteousness--and healing in its wings, And ye have gone forth, and have increased as calves of a stall.
3
And ye have trodden down the wicked, For they are ashes under the soles of your feet, In the day that I am appointing, Said Jehovah of Hosts.

Final Call to Remember the Law

4
Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, That I did command him in Horeb, For all Israel--statutes and judgments.

The Prophecy of Elijah's Return

5
Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.
6
And he hath turned back the heart of fathers to sons, And the heart of sons to their fathers, Before I come and have utterly smitten the land!
