Malachi 4:1
"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire," says the Lord Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them.
Donna K. from Simcoe, ON said:
We often see Christians seeking restitution or even revenge, yet most of us are very familiar with the passage that we're reminded of in Romans 12:19, "Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God's wrath. For it is written: "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord." (BSB). It's important that we have this from Old and New Testaments so we know both the Law and our response in the Grace that we have through Christ.
When we read passages such as Malachi 4:1, and there are many others, similar, we should be able to know that God knows what He's doing. We should know that we don't have to take His work from Him. Not only does He know every crime ever committed, but He also knows the hearts and minds behind each one. How do we punish someone who feels forced to steal to avoid starvation? How do we punish someone who thinks they're doing right, maybe even when all they're doing is demanding justice? We can know what's right - "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:8, NIV)

Peter B. from Buchanan, MI said:
Malachi's Prophecy of the coming of the Great Tribulation, when the wicked will be called to account for their sins, a day of destruction for the proud and all that they do wickedly, but it will be a day of deliverance for the righteous. The righteous will receive a healing from the risen Christ who will come back for His Bride.

For those who by there own free will, choose not to follow the Lord, will burn forever more like a furnace. Nothing will be left to them. It is right there for you to read.Pray, repent, and surrender to the Lord. Accept the sacrifice made by Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins. Then eternal life will be yours..Amen!..Amen!..
