Malachi the Prophet

[Keraz]

Malachi 4:1-6 This prophecy deals with what will happen to the people of Judah; the Jews and to Israel; the Christians, in the last days. Read and carefully consider his Words:
For lo, the Day comes; burning like a furnace and all the audacious sinners and all the perpetrators of wickedness will be like stubble. And the Day that comes shall burn them up, leaving neither root nor branch. But for you who fear My Name; the sun of mercy shall rise with healing in its wings.
Soon to happen, God will use the sun; the wicked will be judged by fire, Isaiah 30:26-30, Psalms 50:1-6 and all the faithful believers will be protected by Jesus. 1 Corinthians 10:13, Psalms 23. +
It will be the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster; Revelation 6:12-17, that will commence all the end time events, leading up to Jesus Returning as world Ruler.

Keep in remembrance the teaching of Moses, My servant, and the laws and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.
The prophet tells them in the name of God; ‘Remember forever the Commandments of Moses, My servant: in every time and situation.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the Lord, that he may return the heart of the fathers through the children, and the heart of the children through their fathers — lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction.
This means that to prevent a situation in which God will have to come and totally destroy the earth: He will send Elijah the prophet to arouse people to repentance.
As individuals choose to obey, they will merit to be counted among those who fear My Name and their names will be Written in the Book of Life. Malachi 3:16-17

The prophecy “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet ... that he may return the heart of the fathers…” means that Elijah’s role to provide spiritual assistance to people living in this World, will take on immense proportions before the great and terrible Day of God’s fiery wrath and he will awaken the heart of people to repentance.

Indeed, what other convincing explanation is there for the wonderful commitment to the faith in these days, in which many youths and young adults are courageously swimming against the stream of hedonism and lusts which are part of our modern culture.

Elijah will return the heart of fathers; to the Almighty, through the children, by the children. They will show their parents by their joy and love; the right way to live.
This was also Prophesied for John the Baptizer; Luke 1:16-17, but was not fulfilled by him.

Throughout Jewish and Christian history, the parents responsibility was to educate their children to observe Torah, the Bible and its Commandments. To say that a time will come when the children will teach their parents to repent, seems absurd.
But now, we see many parents becoming religious by the example of their children. “He will return the heart of fathers to the Almighty through the children.”

There is very little time left now, for people to repent and have their names Written in the Book of Life. The forthcoming great and terrible Day of the Lord’s fiery wrath, prophesied over 100 times in the Bible, is near and coming fast. Zephaniah 1:14-18

You are doing the very thing Paul was battling in the churches, namely Judaising!

You are doing the very thing Paul was battling in the churches, namely Judaising!

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: a time to uncircumcise, and a time to circumcise.

Malachi 1:2-5 I have shown you love, but you ask: How have You shown love to us? The Lord answers: Jacob, [Israel] I love, but Esau, [Edom] I hate. Edom is a people of wickedness, a people with whom the Lord is angry forever. I have reduced his ancestral lands to desert pastures. Your own eyes see it and you say: The Lord is sovereign over all.

Malachi 1:6-14 The Lord requires thank offerings given in honesty and truth. A curse on those who cheat Him, by holding back their best. Acts 5:1-10

Malachi 2:1-9 Now, you pastors, Rabbis and leaders; this decree is for you. Unless you listen to My Word and honour My Name, I shall lay a curse on you and banish you from My presence. People are instructed by their leaders, because they are the Lord’s messengers, But now you have turned away from right teachings and caused many to stumble with your instruction. So now, I will degrade you in the sight of the people, because you disregard My ways and make your own interpretation of My Law.

Malachi 2:10-12 Have we not only one Father and Creator? Why then do we violate the Covenant of our forefathers? Judah and Israel are faithless, they do abominable things and go after foreign gods. May the Lord banish from His Land those who do these things, even though they bring offerings to Him.

Malachi 2:13-16 You weep and moan at the Lord’s altar, but wonder why He refuses to listen to you. Here is why; it is because you have broken faith with the spouse of your youth, even though she/he is your partner by solemn covenant. God wants you to rear godly children, so keep faithful to your spouse.

Malachi 2:17 You have wearied the Lord with your talk. You ask: How have we wearied Him? By saying: All evildoers are good and asking: Where is the God of Justice?

Malachi 3:1-4 I am about to send a messenger, to clear the way before Me. Suddenly, the Lord, whom you seek will come to His Holy place. The messenger of the Covenant, in whom you delight, he shall come. But who can endure the Day of the Lord’s appearing? He is like a refiners fire, testing and purifying, he will refine His priests so that they will be fit to bring offerings to the Lord. Then those offerings will be pleasing to Him, as they were in years long past.

Malachi 3:5-7 I shall appear before you in judgement and will testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who cheat workers of their wage, who do wrong to the helpless, who push foreigners aside and all who do not fear Me. I, the Lord, do not change and you, My people, have not ceased to be the descendants of Jacob. Ever since the days of your forefathers, you have been wayward and have not kept My Laws. if you come back to Me, then I shall return to you.

Malachi 3:8-12 You ask: How can we return? Because you have defrauded Me over your tithes and offerings, there is a curse on your entire nation. Put Me to the test; if you bring the whole tithe into My treasury, so that it fills with true gifts of righteousness, then I will pour blessings on you as long as there is a need. I will stop pests and diseases from affecting your crops and livestock and yours will be a favoured Land, envied by other nations.

Malachi 3:13-15 You have spoken bad things about Me, you ask: What bad things? You have said: to serve God is futile. What do we gain from the Lord by observing His rules and behaving with humble submission? We think the rich and proud are happy and evildoers prosper, for they disobey God and come to no harm.

Malachi 3:16-18 Then, those who respected the Lord and kept His commandments, talked together and the Lord paid heed and listened. A record was written before Him of all those people. They will be Mine, says the Lord Y’hovah, My own possession on the appointed Day and I will spare them as a man spares the son who serves him. Once more, you will be able to tell the good person from the godless and the servant of God from those who do not serve Him.

Malachi 4:1-3 The Day comes – burning like a furnace, all the arrogant people and the evildoers will be as stubble, for that Day will come and burn them up, leaving them without stock or posterity. But for you, who respect My Name, the glory of righteousness will come to you and heal and save you. You will break loose like calves released from their pens. On the Day that I take action, all wicked peoples will be as ashes under your feet.

Malachi 4:4-6 Remember the Laws I gave to all Israel through My servant, Moses. Now, look, I shall send you the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath comes. He will reconcile the families, [of Judah and Israel] so as to avoid My curse on the Land.
Ref: REB. Some verses abridged

God chose Jacob [Israel] to be His people – a nation to be ‘a light to other nations’, a people who would spread the good news of the coming Kingdom of the Lord. Jacob’s sons split into two Houses; the House of Judah, who have maintained their identity and the House of Israel, who are still ‘lost’; dispersed among the nations. This is how God planned it to be, however from the historical record, archaeological finds, linguistic matches and heraldic signs, we have a fair idea of who and where they are.

The peoples descended from Esau/Edom, those who inhabit the ‘desert pastures’, have kept their hatred of Jacobs descendants and now, in our times, threaten Israel and the Western world with war and disaster. Micah 4:11-12

Sadly, the leaders of His people have not kept to the right teachings and the people do ‘abominable things’. They lust after other gods and think that God no longer cares about them or His creation. But those people who do keep faithful to the one true God, will have their names written in the Book of Life and will be spared on the ‘appointed Day’.

That Day ‘comes burning like a furnace’, this is the fire judgement, the next prophesied event, the Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath. It is clearly told to us, in Isaiah 30:26 that it is a coronal mass ejection, an explosion of the suns surface, that will ‘burn up all evildoers’. – in the Holy Land area and dramatically affect all the world.

It will be the fulfilment of Psalm 83; the punishment on the Edomite alliance who commence an attack onto the Jewish State of Israel with nuke missiles.
Both the Jews and the evil neighbors will be virtually wiped out. Jeremiah 12:14, Ezekiel 7:14

But it is also the Day of redemption and healing for His faithful Christian peoples, from every tribe, race, nation and language. They will then ‘break loose’, and Elijah will reconcile all twelve tribes of Israel. They will then gather and enter the cleared and cleansed Holy Land, in order to fulfil their destiny.

Malachi 3:8-12 You ask: How can we return? Because you have defrauded Me over your tithes and offerings, there is a curse on your entire nation. Put Me to the test; if you bring the whole tithe into My treasury, so that it fills with true gifts of righteousness, then I will pour blessings on you as long as there is a need. I will stop pests and diseases from affecting your crops and livestock and yours will be a favoured Land, envied by other nations.

Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
(Malachi 3:8-10)

Now the "tithe" is to be the 10 "lost tribes of Israel". It is written about them:

And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.
(Isaiah 66:20,21)

Robbing God with tithes occurs when Christians pay tithes in money to a religion that serves this world. This is lawless: first, only the descendants of Levi have the right to take tithes; second, tithes are taken only from the circumcised, from the Jews; third, tithes are paid after the offering of the first fruits of the land, otherwise it will be the sacrifice of Cain, who did not bring the first fruits; fourth, tithes are brought only in natural products, 5 kinds of grain, oil and wine, without the right to replace them with money; fifth, tithes must be brought only from the fruits of the land of Israel. Total lawlessness has been committed for centuries. But God will soon put an end to this.

The medieval French Biblical commentator Rabbi Smo Yitzchaki, known by the acronym Rashi, explained the verse in Malachi 4:5a:

Lo, I will send the Navi Eliyahu to you before the coming of the awesome, fearful day of Hashem.

“This ‘Day of God’ is the result of God’s taking out the Sun from its sheath,” Rashi wrote.
“The prophet was describing the removal of our protection from the power and extreme heat of the Sun,”

“Rashi was foreseeing the existing cover around the Earth, which is the magnetic field discovered by scientific research many centuries later.”
The Earth’s magnetic field also plays an important role in protecting the surface from solar wind and Coronal Mass Ejections, which explode plasma and magnetized particles from the Sun’s corona. The earths magnetic field has weakened about nine percent over the past 200 years, and an area between Africa and South America has experienced am even greater reduction in magnetic intensity. The South Atlantic Anomaly.
As a result, this change in the magnetic field has a serious effect. The earth is now much more vulnerable to any CME’s which could result in serious damage to our infrastructure.

The polar reversal that occurred 42,000 years ago is well on its way to happening again. The shifting polarity of the planet may also be behind outbreaks of migrating birds becoming confused and dying.

Saul Kullook, a scientist with many patents to his name who passed away last year, wrote about his theories concerning the end-of-days. Kullook believed that this period of intense exposure to solar radiation was described by the prophet Malachi as a harbinger of the final redemption.
There is prophesy in the Bible which says a dramatic cosmic event will take place:

For lo! That day is at hand, burning like an oven. All the arrogant and all the doers of evil shall be straw, and the day that is coming—said the lord of Hosts—shall burn them to ashes and leave of them neither stock nor boughs. Malachi 4:1-& 3

Keraz, are you now using the utterances of Rabbi's and Scientists to underpin your theories. Wasn't it your appeal to 'biblical truth' elsewhere, as your authority?
You also stated in another post that you didn't know what I believed. Why not ask pertinent and relevant questions .....you might then learn what you previously didn't know.

I thought that interpretation by Rabbi Rashi, was interesting and worth looking at. Can you give your learned opinion on it? I note that the Interlinear Bibe translation does not support Rashi.

That article mentioned known cosmic changes, which parallel a lor of Prophecy. Undoubtedly, we are at a very critical time of world history and a sudden, shocking change, just as many Prophesies tell us; is imminent.
