Be ready for future judgement

Mal 4:1–6

4:1 Be ready for future judgement

4 “Yes, listen, the day that burns like a furnace is coming, when all the arrogant people and all the evildoers will become useless pieces of dry stalks in a field. The day that is coming will burn them up,” says Commander-in-chief Yahweh, “so they’ll be gone without leaving any roots or branches. 2 But for you who respect my name, the sun of righteousness will rise and bring healing. You’ll all go out, jumping around like calves let out of their stall, 3 and you’ll all trample down the wicked people, because they’ll just be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I act,” says Commander-in-chief Yahweh.

4 “Be sure to obey the law that I gave my servant Mosheh (Moses) at Mt. Sinay for all Yisrael (Israel)—the statutes and the rulings.

5 Listen, I’ll send the prophet Eliyah (Elijah) to you all,[ref] ahead of the coming of the great but fearful day of my judgement. 6 He’ll restore harmony between fathers and their children, so that I don’t have to come and strike the earth with complete destruction.”

10 So his apprentices asked him, “Why do the religious teachers say that Eliyah (Elijah) has to come before the messiah?”[ref]

11 “In a way, Eliyah is coming,” he said, “and he’ll restore everything. 12 But I’m also telling you that in another way, Eliyah already came, and they didn’t recognise him. Instead, they mistreated him just however they wanted,[ref] and the son of humanity will suffer from their actions like that too.”

13 Then the apprentices realised that he was talking to them about Yohan-the-immerser.
