A Coming Dreadful Day For Some!

 

Today's verse is Malachi 4:1

           For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven;

    And all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:

    And the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts,

    That it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

    We that know God’s Word know what he has planned, we know that he has set aside a time that those that have refused him will get their desire for a season, even a shortened one, for nothing would remain if he gave them the seventy years Israel was exiled. As we understand, and have cause to rejoice for the above promise, we know that God will give them a chance to fight, that all may know the futility of fighting God. And still our neighbors will do it a second time. Therefore, even as Paul cried out: O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? But he cried already knowing the answer, for Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; (and Paul says) Of whom I am chief. If God was willing to save the chief of sinners, is he not willing to save you, or even me? Let us not, therefore, find that we are found among the proud on the day described above. Amen.

To God be the Glory
