Malachi 4:1
Evangelical Predictions This section speaks about the great and terrible day of the Lord. On that day, there will be judgment and separation. For those who are proud and do evil, this day will bring destruction. But for those who fear God, it will bring joy and healing. This prophecy looks forward to both the first and second coming of Jesus Christ. The outcomes for people depend on whether they are faithful or rebellious. v. 1: The Lord says, “The day is coming, burning like an oven.” All those who are proud and do wicked things will be like stubble—they will be set on fire and completely destroyed. This fire will leave them with neither root nor branch, meaning nothing will be left of them. This prophecy was partly fulfilled when Jerusalem was destroyed and the unbelieving Jews were punished. It also points to the final day of judgment, when those who reject God will be punished forever .
