Malachi Chapter 4 Discussion Page 2

Dear "Linda Harris", it became a little inexplicable this Postmyers567 is right. A little less answer to you will be. Jesus will return and then we will join Him home to the heavenly dwellings. Based on Paul's words, it will come a rapture! For Paul believed that Jesus would come before Paul laid down his flesh. And so did all the disciples! (smiles). So you see it's easy and go away in thoughts and deeds. Read and learn from the Holy Spirit. Get your own learning. Then you will understand everything in the right order.

They are not wrong the others who have answered either, just look at it from a different angle at a different time. We are all like gems, dear people that Jesus loves, and that we are obliged to love. To fulfill the law.

God bless you and yours, in the name of Jesus, love you in Christ. Stay strong in the word of God. Its the Life og Jesus.

Luke 10:1-12

All old testament prophecy's are fulfilled in Christ as Jesus stated.. Lu 24:44 (KJV) And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

the great tribulation your referring to happened already in 70 A.D. The destruction of Jerusalem. which Jesus predicted..

Mt 24:1 (KJV) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

Mt 24:2 (KJV) And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Jesus also said there will never be another time like that..... Mt 24:21 (KJV) For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Malachi 4:5-6 is a clear reference to John the Baptist

Mal 4:5 (KJV) Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

Mal 4:6 (KJV) 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.

Lu 1:16 (KJV) And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

Lu 1:17 (KJV) And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

Reply to Postmyers 567: Elijah has yet to come to preach in the tribulation as predicted by Malachi.

Malachi 4 is speaking of Christs first coming and the destruction of jerusalem which are connected together...its a remarkable chapter...

verse 1

For, Behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven - The destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D.

And all the proud - This is in reference to Mal 3:15 of the preceding chapter.

The day that cometh shall burn them up - Either by famine, by sword, or by captivity. All those rebels shall be destroyed.

It shall leave them neither root nor branch - A proverbial expression for total destruction. Neither man nor child shall escape.

verse 5

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet - This is meant alone of John the Baptist, as we learn from Lu 1:17, in whose spirit and power he came.

There are three remarkable predictions in this chapter: -

1. The advent of John Baptist, in the spirit and authority of Elijah.

2. The manifestation of Christ in the flesh, under the emblem of the Sun of righteousness. verse 2

3. The final destruction of Jerusalem, represented under the emblem of a burning oven, consuming every thing cast into it.

These three prophecies, relating to the most important facts that have ever taken place in the history of the world, announced here nearly four hundred years before their occurrence, have been most circumstantially fulfilled.

Dear Sir:

I just finished the last book of the Old Testament. Malachi is an interesting book. You know what I dont quite understand when the bible talks about the Earth will dissolve away and the Sun will refuse to shine. Does this mean that the Earth and the Sun will melt like a straw in the furnis. The scientist say we have a million years left. Could this be the rapture where all the good are taken and the rest are left? Like Noahs ark? Noah only needed what he needed.

The order.

Absolutely not. The witnesses are the sealed 144,000 saints.

The two olive trees, and the two lampstands that stand before God.

The house of Israel & the House of Judah.

Unless you're thinking of Revelation 11:3.

Roman. Malachi 4:5. Do you think that Matthew 17:10-13 has something to do with that prophecy? Or, is there another fulfillment?

Malachi 4:5

I will make a bet with the advanced Bible readers that they will not know Elijah when he comes, before the day of the Lord. Why, because they hadn't noticed anything thus far.

When Elijah comes preaching, you won't give it a thought. You might even think satan sent him.

Matthew 16:2-4

I appreciate

I love this app because I also have the same bible

There is a difference between the SUN and the Light. Genesis 1:3, 1:14-17. Revelation 21:23, Revelation 12:1-2. MINISTRY OF THE TWO ELIJAS

Many have stumbled over the Ministry of John the Baptist and Malachi 4:5-6. For some reasons:

They do not know their ministries;

John the Baptist Ministry:

1:17And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

Malachi 4:5-6 Ministry:

Malachi 4:6And 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.

Similarities in these ministries

John The Baptist Foreran the First Coming of Jesus Christ.

Malachi 3:1Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. Matthew 11:9-10

Malachi 4:5-6 Foreruns the Second coming of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 17: 11And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. Revelation 10:7

Differences

John the Baptist was he voice of one crying in the wilderness.

Mark 1:3

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John 10:41

Malachi 4:4-6

His ministry was to carry the Gift of Divine healing and Revealing the mysteries hid in the bible before the second coming.

Malachi 4:2But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. JOEL 2:31, MALACHI 4:6, REV 10:7

NOW IF ANYBODY COMES TO TELL US ABOUT REPETANCE WE KNOW THAT, THAT WAS THE MINISTRY OF JOHN THE BAPIST.IF SOMEONE COMES AND CLAIM TO BE ELIJAH OF MALACHI 4:5-6 WITHOUT THE MINISTRY OF DIVINE HEALING BUT SUBSTITUTES

Hebrews 11:5

"By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God."

Ecclesiasticus 44:16

"Enoch pleased the Lord, and was translated, being an example of repentance to all generations."

Genesis 5:24

"And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."

SO WAS ELIJAH: 2nd Kings Chapter 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 2nd Kings 2:12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. (ELISHA was witness of it.)

Why does the new American bible goto Malachi 3:24 but the kjv ends Malachi at 3:18 and then takes19 to 24 from the new American bible and makes king James version chapter 4 : 1 to 6 Elijah and king sirus are with me I was 45 when the ammo ting happened. I was anointed at 45. Moses and Enoch are with the other witness from revelation 11:4 I'm not kidding its me. I'm the prophet Bobby Vee I've had a vision of the rapture the dead rising I also had a vision of nuclear war and I've had visions of the Hoover dam being bombed. You can pick the bodies up in Mexico when it white washes the wall out from Ezekiel. Keep God and Jesus first place were here. Beast one is the democrats beast 2 is the republicans. 100 percent. The Hoover breaks soon. I saw it in my vision. The catholic church has been hiding my book they have been hiding my music message and they are not marrying like I told them too like Martin Luther told them also. They do not want to commune my message. They are in denial of my message and they have tried to hush me. They have no holy spirit anointing in there church they are Luke warm and ignorant and I forgive them but I'm a you'll graft in Jew from Amos 911. The catholic church is acting wrongly listening to the world and not their prophets . they've hurt this message so much. Its hurtful that they are like this. The pope maybe the anti pope I'm watching him closely . and they are saying I'm not acting right. You have to be kidding me. They are in denial and if they don't wake up from being Luke warm their going to be in trouble

Jesus comes before the rapture ! Be ready live a faithful life and pray to escape all these things that are coming ...

Is Elijah coming back before the Rapture? Thank you and God bless. Nancy Edwards.

Not being proficient with the DSS, I have been able to find that in the DSS (in Scroll 4Q76, Minor Prophets), the word "sun" is NOT in capitals. I'm guessing that the translators capitalized the word as it referred primarily to God (as in Psalm 84:11; Isaiah 60:19,20). And by extension, 'Sun' could be applied to Jesus, ( Luke 1:76-79; John 8:12).

Maybe others with more information on this will contribute.

In my Holy Bible the Sun is in capts how does the dead sea strolls depict it?

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.

Please give me more input on this verse 2

It's said in 2 Timothy 4 v 3,4

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 .

If they all take the wide road , no rejoicing .

What a Good Word for us today! I've never thought of it that way. Thank you and may God bless you for your kindness.

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.

On Mal.4v2 is correct make no mistake Jesus Is The Light of The World.....without Him there will Be no LIGHT AT ALL

When He comes back there will be no need for the sun as He Jesus will be the light forever n ever God Be Praised

That will be a Glorious Time.......Friends Be Ready turn to Jesus Choose The Light of The World Blessings to All

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.

What is your Nationality?

You all know that Jesus is:

He is the way all need to follow.

He is the truth, that all must believe.

He is the life, without him year are dead.

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.

So continue in faith, knowing this.

Comes what may...all is well with my soul.

Love to you all in Jesus Christ. Amen.

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
