말라기 3:5-6 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Malachi 3:6

For I am the Lord, I change not; or, Jehovah, I change not . This is to show that God performs his promises, and effectually disposes of the allegation in Malachi 2:17 , that he put no difference between the evil and the good. The great principles of right and wrong never alter; they are as everlasting as he who gave them. God here speaks of himself by his covenant name, which expresses his eternal independent being, "the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Malachi 3:6

The twofold aspect of the unchangeableness of God. Three truths are taught here. I. THAT GOD IS UNCHANGEABLE . 1 . His nature is a pledge of it. Being absolutely perfect, any change of nature must be for the worse. The "light" ( 1 John 1:5 ) would be dimmed; any "variation" would cause "a shadow that is cast by turning" ( James 1:17 , Revised Version). He is "Alpha and Omega," and not an intervening letter can be displaced; not a "jot or tittle" can pass away. 2 .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Malachi 3:6

Man's hope lies in God's unchangeableness. "I am the Lord, I change not." Man had changed toward God, not in mere relations, but in spirit and purpose. God had been therefore compelled to alter his relations towards men; and his ways of dealing with them; but this must never be assumed to involve any change on the part of God's feeling towards them. These whom he loves he loves with an everlasting love. In the motive of his dealings he is "the same yesterday, today, and forever." Reference... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Malachi 3:5

And I will come near to you to judgment - They had clamored for the coming of “the God of judgment;” God assures them that He will come to judgment, which they had desired, but far other than they look for. The few would be purified; the great mass of them (so that He calls them “you”), the main body of those who had so clamored, would find that He came as a Judge, not for them but against them.And I will be a swift witness - o “In judging I will bear witness, and witnessing, I, the same, will... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Malachi 3:6

I am the Lord, I change not - , better, more concisely, “I, the Lord I change not - . The proper name of God, “He who Is,” involves His unchangeableness. For change implies imperfection; it changes to that which is either more perfect or less perfect: to somewhat which that being, who changes, is not or has not. But God has everything in Himself perfectly. “Thou Alone, O Lord, Art what Thou Art, and Thou Art Who Art. For what is one thing in the whole and another in parts, and wherein is... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Malachi 3:5

Malachi 3:5. And I will come near to you to judgment In answer to their demand, Where is the God of judgment? Malachi 2:17, God here tells them that he will hasten the time of judgment, and it shall come speedily upon them, on account of those sins that were general among them: and that if they did not repent, and reform their conduct upon the preaching of the gospel by the forerunner of the Messiah, the Messiah himself, and his apostles and other servants, he would proceed to the utter... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Malachi 3:6

Malachi 3:6. I am the Lord Hebrew, Jehovah; I change not In my nature or perfections there is no change, or shadow of turning, and therefore I have and always must have an unchangeable hatred to all sin: and my long- suffering also changes not, and therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed Are not destroyed and sent into eternal misery in your sins. God’s wisdom also changes not, but remains the same to dispense rewards to the good, and punishments to the wicked, in the fittest... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Malachi 3:1-18

Cheating God (2:17-3:18)When the Jews saw surrounding nations prosper while they suffered hardship, they complained that God was not just. Other nations made no effort to keep God’s law, whereas Israel was his people (17). Malachi replies that if justice is what the Jews want, then justice is what they will have; but they must realize that such justice will apply to them as well as to their heathen neighbours. They have asked for the God of justice; now he will come and do his work of justice... read more
