Malachi 4: The Day of the Lord and the Restoration of Elijah
Malachi 4 documents the definitive separation between the proud and those who fear God's name during the final judgment. It articulates the transition from the old covenant to the silent years, promising a prophetic bridge through the spirit of Elijah to prepare for the coming Messiah.
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.
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
