SUN of Righteousness is one of Jesus's names. He has many.
Wesley's Notes for Malachi 4:2
4:2 The sun of righteousness - Christ, who is fitly compared to the sun, being the fountain of light, and vital heat to his church. And of mercy and benignity; for the Hebrew word imports both. With healing - His beams shall bring health and strength, with delight and joy, safety and security. Go forth - Go out of Jerusalem, before the fatal siege. Grow up - In strength, vigour and spiritual stature. Of the stall - Where they are safe guarded and well ordered.
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their TENTH generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
Deuteronomy 23:2
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his TENTH generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
[a non-covenant believer]
Mark 8:12
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Isaiah 41:4
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Isaiah 58:12
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Matthew 1:17
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
In the "time of Abraham a generation was an hundred years, thus: Gen." "15:16, "In the fourth generation" = in four hundred years (comp." verse 13 and Ex. 12:40). In Deut. 1:35 and 2:14 a generation is a period of thirty-eight years.
That people will not endure sound doctrine but will turn to teachers that basically tell them what they want to hear so they can indulge in their lists and have salvation too .
It's said in the gospels by Jesus that straight is the gate and narrow is the way , but wide and easy is the way to destruction and Many or the majority follow it . Because they don't want the hard path , deception is so sweet at first . That's what temptation was to eve ! But we know what happened , they lost their paradise .
The purpose is that if just one sinner repents ! Heaven rejoices .
Behold the FINALITY, THE ALPHA & THE OMEGA OF RIGHTEOUSNESS God speak's of in Malachi. NOTHING BEFORE OR AFTER replaces CHRIST'S JESUS VISITATION to His people. And who are His people? All those who hear His words and live extending Mercy and Compassions to others. Upon the cross Christ said, "IT IS ACCOMPLISHED." He never said, there will be more prophets coming after Me to declare who is Righteous or Infidel. And what prophet before or after Christ Jesus ever gave blind their sight, lame their mobility, deaf their hearing, the dead life, broke Men's hardened hearts to think of others before themselves and ROSE FROM THE DEAD HIMSELF for hundreds to see Him again. Accept & Believe JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD. Yes you and I did not see this. But, He told us He would and He could not lie. Even to Pilate when asked if He was a King, Jesus could not lie and said,"I AM". You think He didn't know He could escape the cross by saying, 'No I am not a King. These people are just accusing me of such.' HE CANNOT LIE. Proving He was SINLESS and demonstrating to us that HE IS THE WAY TO LIFE! Our captivity in Sin is over! Ask & receive faith to follow in His footsteps. And as we see in His path to the cross, He was helped by a man; so in turn He helps Man carry his cross every moment of every day! Come to Christ Jesus and drink freely of Living waters to be a Spirit of Light to Praise God Forever.
I pray that You will change each one of these curses to blessings in my ancestor's, my own, and my descendant's lives, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus Christ, I now bind and rebuke the spirit of Jezebel from my life.
I speak destruction over the altars where the spirit of Jezebel received worship in my life, and I erect an altar there for God. It is written:
"David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord heeded the prayers for the land, and Israel's plague was stayed." ( 2 Sam 22:25)
The stronghold in my life where Jezebel has lived is now destroyed and a throne for Christ Jesus erected there. In the name of Jesus Christ, I now speak withering and death over all fruits of manipulation through the spirit of witchcraft in my life.
Father remove all leaven that caused me to walk under the control of this spirit, from my habits of thinking, my will, emotions and body. Father, in Jesus precious name, I pray that the Spirit of Elijah will rise up within me to expose the spirit of Jezebel in the Body of Christ. I pray Father, that the hearts of the fathers will be turned towards the children according to Malachi 4:5,6.
I pray that the disobedient will be turned towards the wisdom of the righteous - that You will enable me to outwork Godly principles to handle problems in my life. I pray that more and more spiritual fathers and mothers will come forth out of our midst to show the way and to take Your children by the hand and to lead them on paths of righteousness. I stand against you in Jesus name! It is written in the Word of God that whatsoever I bind on earth shall be bound in heaven.
Ralph Jr and Sarah Mutchler Mutchler on Philippians 4:19 - 4 years ago
I had asked a question about the verse read in: Malachi 4:5; earlier of who would be the Prophet to come that is called: Elijah. I do believe that Elijah, was Jesus Christ. Because the name: Elijah, means a miracle worker and God is. Amen.
Great words you speak but always remember without love words mean nothing but I'm sure you show love to everyone because God is love Bless you and pray for me.
Without Christ, beloved is vanity. He is the source, so why look unto servants?
O. T prophets did their assignment and rest. He who assigned them came in flesh and gave us salvation: fulfilling all the requirements to save mankind.
If you have the spirit of Christ, you are sealed of God.
Elijah/Moses are the prophets in Rev. 11 (not Enoch). Research Shabbat mey-eyn olam ha-ba and Pesach Seder (Passover etc.) Shabbat and Pesach Seder are yearly feasts... setting a place at their table for Elijah, and leaving the door open for Moses. It will give you a better understanding as to why Moses/Elijah are the Rev. 11 prophets. Jews/Hebrews all around the world prepare (yearly) and wait for the fulfillment of prophecy.
Malachi 4:5
Foretells of a (one) Gentile prophet that would have the same spirit as/of Elijah. As crazy as that might sound, the Gentile (Christianity) dispensation also needed a prophet.
Although it is controversial among Christians... yes, the rapture takes place before the tribulation. When Moses/Elijah appear in Israel (modern-day Jerusalem), God has already taken His elect. They will not experience the tribulation.
The Bride kept God's Word (even though it was hard) and correctly followed the road map (The Bible, His instructions).
Those on this earth that refuse to follow God and live unjustly will go through the tribulation.
The great tribulation occurs after Moses/Elijah (slain, left for 3 1/2 days, and brought back to life).
God is gracious, loving, and forgiving, but we see in the Bible how He views sin. Sodom is one example of His wrath.
At some point, we know He will deal with His chosen people (Jews/Hebrews); they are the 144,000 spoken of in Rev 11. Moses/Elijah will come to them, not the Christians/Gentiles. That is who they preach to for 3 1/2 years. God revealed Himself (through Jesus Christ) was rejected/crucified (New Testament). During this time, the Jews/Hebrews will understand who they crucified. He loves them, and Rev. 11 is all about them and has nothing to do with Christians.
Bride of Christ. Elijah and possibly Moses or Enoch will be of the 2 witnesses in Revelation.
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
then they get killed and this is proof of a pre trib rapture?
Revelation Chapter 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. (our Lord Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem which is called spiritually SODOM)
so murdered prophets is proof of a pre trib rapture?
Charles: obviously you have strong feelings about women generally. News media has poisoned our minds daily in some aspects. Flip side there are many women doing the best they can with very little. Not all.
I'm praying Malachi 4:5-6, on this generation of men.
'And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.'
Isaiah 59:21, a covenant.
I have faith in God to perform this miracle.
God needs workers to send into the harvest.
This world system that makes us so angry at times is going to pass away. It cannot be fixed! We are on a rescue mandate. Like Noah, get them in the ark (who is Jesus).
Great food for thought and challenge. We need to be reminded to get out of our daily rut, which sometimes is sin masquerading as important activities, and look up to the Face of our Lord and His precious Word. That's why this Online forum by KJB is a great avenue to consider Scriptures in the light of one's own life and in the helping of others. Thank you Mishael for the reminder.
You know in Job 1:6-12, satan stops off at Gods throne and asks to trouble Job till he curses God. This indicates that satan can afflict Christians. He has a will and uses it. That's Old Testament and we live in New Testament now. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father making intercession for the Saints. He is our Advocate, counsellor,etc. We need to be talking and listening (prayer) to The Lord.
What are we listening to TV, radio shows, Facebook, Twitter etc. None of them preach a word to save a soul; heal the sick-anything. Your faith is on life support and you think God is allowing problems launched at you. Turn off the World and Tune into God. He is your Life support. Jesus is too
Please pray for the life of Jasmine who has been recently found to have cancer. She has a 3 month old baby. Jasmine has been in and out of hospital with bleeding and is so sick she can't care for her little one. Relatives are helping.
Hello, it sounds like you feel frustrated about how you perceive God. Why do you assume God doesn't care, though? Did God not give mankind freewill and the right to do good and evil from the beginning of time? And did Adam and Eve not deliberately choose to sin and have the curse be on the earth (thorns, childbearing pains, struggle, etc)? Is life not extremely short and a test? Are we not all going to die soon regardless? So, does the timing of that death really determine whether one thinks God is 'good' or not? Those who are angry at God for disease, are they equally grateful to God for their life, family, health? Or just 1-sided entitlements? Why is God allowing things to happen "bad"?
Why does God not care Part 5 on Malachi 4 - 4 years ago
But, if these cannot convince Him to help them, ever, they continue to exist for the wicked's purposes-no more worth or value than a pet dog-undesired, kicked in the sides (not physically, for me, but others know that pain), and mocked by the whole Satanic family, only good for to be ganged up on (for the family to have activity to bond over and to share as a team), and used. I'm sick of Satan's tares' ( Matthew 13:36-43) tearing up the earth and all it's bountiful blessings, created BY God, for the benefice of man, animals, and insects, and for the displaying of HIS glorious brilliance in artistry, engineering, and design, that man KNOW God DOES exist. But these TARES, having God's power
Why does God not care Part 4 on Malachi 4 - 4 years ago
They MUST know EVERY word, thought, conversation, prayer, hope, dream of their prey, in order to destroy, for pleasure, and their purposes every hope, dream, and goal of their pray EVER succeeding in being TRULY (COMPLETELY/TOTALLY) FREE of them, their control, and their destructive hand(s). I'm SICK of the liars that masquerade as, and feign imitation of Christ's flock, going wheresoever Christ's goes, JUST as any other stalker! I mean NO disrespect to God. I am not angry with Him (was earlier, I think), thankfully, just weary, trapped, and tired. Some cannot escape WITHOUT the Mighty hand of God. But, if these cannot convince Him to help them, ever, they continue to exist for the wicked's
Why does God not care Part 3 on Malachi 4 - 4 years ago
I'm sick of not being good enough (truly) to get my prayers answered by the LORD God on the matters of simply being ALLOWED TO become good enough to...get my OTHER prayers answered by the LORD God, one of which being able to converse with Him, and HEAR from Him, as did our brothers and fathers before us (Moses, King David, Abraham, etc). I'm MOST sick of the petty harassments of Satan's seed! They are abusers, and abusers HATE their chosen victims, but have an OBSESSIVE desire to control and to STALK! They MUST know EVERY word, thought, conversation, prayer, hope, dream of their prey, in order to destroy, for pleasure, and their purposes every hope, dream, and goal of their pray EVER succee
Why does God not care Part 2 on Malachi 4 - 4 years ago
Why does God allow witches, magicians, sorcerers, wizards, and other wicked persons to impersonate Christians, preachers, Jewish priests, and others in trusted positions, allowing them to weary the very flock He entrusted them to shepherd and to serve? These today, being even worse than Eli the priest's sons ( I Samuel 2:12-17), and the scribes and Pharisees of Christ's preaching days ( Matthew 23:1-3 or Matthew 23 for God, the Son's entire speech). I'm just tired of all of the wicked getting away with doing SO MUCH to the innocent, and for God not revealing to men the truth about grave (but earthly) matters. I'm sick of not being good enough (truly) to get my prayers answered by the LORD God,
Why does God not care about the victims of Satan's children (the tares spoken of by His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ), enough to hear the prayers of said victims? For all of my life, God has allowed Satan's seed to do harm to me, and to others, and God continues to give them more of His power, permission, and will to do even worse to even more. They play games that entail the death, torment, misery, and slandering of decent, innocent human beings, often to cover up their own perversions, often out of perversion. Why has God allowed Satan's to destroy His word via the heads of His temples, and via the corruption of His word? Why does God allow witches, magicians, sorcerers, wizards, and other
I am also on medication for depression and anxiety, still fraught with it hard until my family went through trials and I was a hot mess, I turned to prayer and scripture on depression and anxiety and anything else I go through, I would read those scriptures and pray, read them again and pray, it really really does help, even though we are going through this Coronavirus situation I keep my eyes on God and He has given me peace that surpasses all understanding. I have prayed for you and your mother, but I encourage you to go to scripture and prayer, glory be to God in heaven he is the best counselor in the world. God bless you.
