Be ready for future judgement

Mal 4:1–6

4:1 Be ready for future judgement

4Yes, 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 army-commander Yahweh, “so they’ll be gone without leaving any roots or branches. 2But 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, 3and 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 army-commander Yahweh.

4Be sure to obey the law that I gave my servant Mosheh at Mt. Sinai for all Israel—the statutes and the rulings.

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