Expositor's Bible Commentary - Malachi 4:1-6

4; Malachi 2:1-17; Malachi 3:1-18; Malachi 4:1-6PROPHECY WITHIN THE LAW"MALACHI" 1-4BENEATH this title we may gather all the eight sections of the Book of "Malachi." They contain many things of perennial interest and validity: their truth is applicable, their music is still musical, to ourselves. But their chief significance is historical. They illustrate the development of prophecy within the Law. Not under the Law, be it observed. For if one thing be more clear than another about "Malachi’s"... read more

8. THE RETURN OF ELIJAHMalachi 4:4-6; Hebrews 4:3-5With his last word the prophet significantly calls upon the people to remember the Law. This is their one hope before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. But, in order that the Law may have full effect, Prophecy will be sent to bring it home to the hearts of the people-Prophecy in the person of her founder and most drastic representative. Nothing could better gather up than this conjunction does that mingling of Law and of... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Malachi 4:1-6

The Remnant and the Concluding Prophecy CHAPTER 3:16-4:6 In the midst of all these moral conditions, the apostasy of the masses, we find a pleasing picture of a godly portion, whom the Lord mentions in a special manner. There were those who feared the Lord. They had no sympathy with the wicked practices of their brethren; they did not share the contempt and unbelief manifested by the rank and file of the people. They were drawn together by the Spirit of God; they had fellowship one with... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Malachi 4:4

4:4 {d} Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.(d) Because the time had come that the Jews would be destitute of Prophets until the time of Christ, because they should with more fervent minds desire his coming, the Prophet exhorts them to exercise themselves diligently in studying the Law of Moses in the meantime, by which they might continue in the true religion, and also be armed against all temptations. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Malachi 4:4-6

FOURTH DIVISION (Malachi 4:4-6 ) This part is a grand conclusion in which the great day of the Lord is once more referred to, and Elijah the prophet named as His forerunner. We learn from Matthew 11:14 ; Mark 9:11 and Luke 1:17 that John the Baptist is to be considered the type of this forerunner, but that Elijah is to come again to this earth is the opinion of many. There are those who believe that he and Moses are the two witnesses in Revelation 11:0 that shall do wonders in Jerusalem... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Malachi 4:1-6

A Gallery of Pictures Malachi 1-4 We have some pictures in the prophecy that are very vivid, and some of them very humiliating. For example, we have a picture of the utterest selfishness in Malachi 1:10 : "Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought." Yet they sang how good a thing it was to be but a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord. Men do not come to this kind of selfishness all at once. For some degrees of... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Malachi 4:4

I humbly conceive, that this verse of reminding the people of the law of Moses, was to bring them under the condemning sentence of Moses' law. As the law was the ministration of death, for so the Apostle, commissioned by the Holy Ghost, was directed to call it, 2 Corinthians 3:7 . this remembrance of it became very proper, and well timed, when Christ was approaching; intimating, that as the knowledge of sin came by the law, this might be made the schoolmaster unto Christ. Romans 7:7 ; Galatians... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 4:4-6

4-6 Here is a solemn conclusion, not only of this prophecy, but of the Old Testament. Conscience bids us remember the law. Though we have not prophets, yet, as long as we have Bibles, we may keep up our communion with God. Let others boast in their proud reasoning, and call it enlightening, but let us keep near to that sacred word, through which this Sun of Righteousness shines upon the souls of his people. They must keep up a believing expectation of the gospel of Christ, and must look for the... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Malachi 4:1-99

Malachi 4 The day when the Lord of hosts makes up His jewels will be a day of discrimination, and therefore of judgment as well as blessing. This comes clearly to light as we commence to read the last chapter of this short prophecy. The earth is of course in view, and when judgment does arrive it will be final and complete. Neither root nor branch will be left as far as the wicked are concerned. The Sun of righteousness will arise to exterminate the wicked, while He will bring healing and full... read more
