Malachi 4

The Great Day of the Lord

1 ^{▼▼Ch 4:1–6 is ch 3:19–24 in Hebrew} “For behold, ^bthe day is coming, ^cburning like an oven, when ^dall the arrogant and ^eall evildoers ^fwill be stubble. The day that is coming ^gshall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But for you ^hwho fear my name, ⁱthe sun ^jof righteousness shall rise ^kwith healing in its wings. You shall go out ^lleaping like calves from the stall. 3 And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, ^mon the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.

4 ⁿ“Remember ^othe law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules ^{▼▼Or and just decrees} that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.

5 ^q“Behold, I will send you ^rElijah the prophet ^sbefore the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. 6 And he will ^tturn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and ^ustrike the land with a decree of utter destruction.” ^{▼▼The Hebrew term rendered decree of utter destruction refers to things devoted (or set apart) to the Lord (or by the Lord) for destruction}

Luke 17:32-37

32 ^wRemember Lot’s wife. 33 ^xWhoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will ^ykeep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 ^zThere will be two women ^aagrinding together. One will be taken and the other left.” ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add verse 36: Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left} 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, ^ac“Where the corpse ^{▼▼Greek body} is, there the vultures ^{▼▼Or eagles} will gather.”

Luke 19:41-44

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41 ^afAnd when he drew near and saw the city, ^aghe wept over it, 42 saying, ^ah“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now ^aithey are hidden from your eyes. 43 For ^ajthe days will come upon you, when your enemies ^akwill set up a barricade around you and ^alsurround you and hem you in on every side 44 ^amand tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And ^anthey will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know ^aothe time of your ^apvisitation.”

Luke 21:22-24

22 for these are ^aqdays of ^arvengeance, to fulfill ^asall that is written. 23 ^atAlas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and ^auwrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and ^avbe led captive among all nations, and ^awJerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, ^axuntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

1 Thessalonians 2:16

16 ^ayby hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always ^azto fill up the measure of their sins. But ^bawrath has come upon them at last! ^{▼▼Or completely, or forever}

Hebrews 2:3

3 ^bchow shall we escape if we ^bdneglect such a great salvation? It was ^bedeclared at first by the Lord, and it was ^bfattested to us ^bgby those who heard,

Hebrews 12:25

25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For ^bhif they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven.
