瑪拉基書 4:4 RCUVTS

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Malachi 4:1-6

The Sun of Righteousness and His Forerunner. The prophet, having addressed the scoffers in words of warning, in conclusion describes the results of the Lord's appointing that day of which He had spoken. v. 1. For, behold, the day cometh, the entire New Testament period being considered a day of sifting and of judgment, because it culminates in the Day of Judgment, that shall burn as an oven, one which holds the refiner's fire; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be... read more

Malachi 4:1-61For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all [ plural in LXX., Targum, and eighty MSS.] 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. 2But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun [ fem. as in Genesis 15:17; Jeremiah 15:9; Nahum 3:17] of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up1 [leap for... read more

Malachi ‘STOUT WORDS,’ AND THEIR CONFUTATION Mal_3:13 - Mal_3:18 ; Mal_4:1 - Mal_4:6 . This passage falls into three parts,-the ‘stout words’ against God which the Prophet sets himself to confute Mal_3:13 - Mal_3:15; the prophecy of the day which will show their falsehood Mal_3:16 - Mal_4:3; and the closing exhortation and prediction Mal_4:4 - Mal_4:6. I. The returning exiles had not had the prosperity which they had hoped. So many of them, even of those who had served God, began to let... read more

Wickedness and Pride Shall Find Judgment Malachi 3:13-18 ; Malachi 4:1-6 The day cometh! either in the fall of Jerusalem or in some terrible catastrophe yet future. Whenever it comes may we be reckoned as God’s peculiar treasure, preserved as a woman preserves her jewels in the day of calamity, Malachi 3:17 . Sorrow and disaster are perpetually befalling the proud, or those that do wickedly; while on those who fear God’s name the dawn of the sun of righteousness is forever breaking and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Malachi 4:1-6

All this leads to his great declaration concerning the coming day. This day he described in its twofold effect. Toward the wicked it would be a day of burning and of destruction. Toward the righteous it would be a day of healing and of salvation. The closing words of the prophet called on the people to remember the law of Moses, promised that a herald would come before the day of the Lord, and ended with a solemn suggestion of judgment. So the word ends. Malachi's voice ceases. He had... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 4:4-6

The Final Exhortation (Malachi 4:4-6 ). YHWH finalises Malachi’s prophecy by pointing to ‘the Law and the prophets. Firstly He turns their thoughts to His Instruction given through Moses, and then to the powerful preaching of the prophets as epitomised by Elijah, as they bring home to men the words of Moses. Let them listen and take heed lest a curse come upon them. Malachi 4:4 ‘Remember you the law of Moses my servant, Which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, Even the statutes and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 4:4-6

Malachi 4:4-Joshua : . Conclusion.— The book closes with an exhortation to observe the Torah or instruction given through Moses; the mention of Horeb, a Deuteronomic trait (P prefers Sinai) perhaps indicates that Malachi has especially in mind the moral and spiritual teachings of Dt. These, if faithfully observed, would heal the strife spoken of in Malachi 4:6, and avert the impending doom. Before the judgment falls, another way of escape is promised: Elijah will reappear (with Malachi 4:5 ... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Malachi 4:4

Now take leave of all prophecy, for you shall have no more till the great Prophet, till Shiloh come; and attend ye diligently to the law of Moses, keep its precepts and directions. The law; in the full extent: the moral precepts; rules of a holy and religious life for all. The ceremonial precepts; rules of your worship, so long as your temple shall stand a type of Christ to come. The judicial precepts; whilst you have any government, or power of judicatures. By a due keeping this you may escape... read more
