Behold, the Day is Coming!

Malachi 4:1-3

"For behold, the day is coming,
Burning like an oven,
And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,"
Says the LORD of hosts,
"That will leave them neither root nor branch.
But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves."


Like Malachi, we can sometimes feel dejected when we look around us and see the seeming prosperity and joy of those who reject God. Their lifestyle seems so attractive. But God answers through His prophet. He warns that those who proudly resist God will be completely consumed by a burning furnace. They will be utterly destroyed on the coming day of judgement. But something much more wonderful awaits those who fear God.

2 Corinthians 4:3-6
But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.


Jesus came into this world to save us from being lost. “The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). We confess in the Canons of Dort (I.5), “Those who receive [the gospel] and embrace Jesus the Saviour with a true and living faith are delivered by Him from the wrath of God and from destruction, and are given eternal life.” I once was lost, but now am found!
