and the knowledge of God more than your burnt offerings.

1A0MALACHI CHAPTER 4
Let's go to Father and ask Him for His Blessings on our Study of His Word: "Father, we come to you right now to thank you for inviting us to Your table in order that we might be able to partake of and receive Your Spiritual Meat, and Father, as we prepare to dine on the sustenance which sustains our inner man, we ask that You O LORD open our ears and eyes, that we might be able to hear and see your Truths, open our hearts and minds and prepare us in order that we may receive Your Truth. We Pray for Your understanding of Your Word, we seek Your knowledge in Your Word and most importantly Father, we Pray for and desire Your Wisdom from Your Word, in Jesus' Precious name we Pray, thank You Father, Amen."
1:6-4:6 NATIONAL REJECTION. (Extended Alternation.)
3:13-4:4 Israel’s words reproved.
ISRAEL’S WORDS REPROVED. (Alternation.)
4:1 The proud. Destruction.
Malachi 4:1 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. -> What day is this brethren? It's the very last day of Jesus' 1,000 year Millennium, the day of the Great White Throne Judgment, and on that day, all those who continue to follow satan in his final rebellion against Father will go into the Lake of Fire along with satan and will be consumed from within.
4:2-4 The Reverers of YHVH. Blessing and Remembrance.
Malachi 4:2 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. -> To all those who revere Father, it is going to be a time of remembrance and blessing. Our earthly bodies with all its aches and pains will be shed, as well as those ailments which this life has brought upon us. Should any of Father's children, i.e. those whose sins are covered by the precious blood of our LORD Jesus Christ worry about that "day of the Lord"? Absolutely not, for Father is going to take very good care of His own, and He will hold them in high respect. We’re going to be free of all earthly binding shackles, and it's going to be a time of pleasure and joy which we simply cannot imagine in this earthly body. "Grow up"=In the Strong's Concordance this is “poosh” and means to act proudly, or to leap for joy.
Malachi 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. -> Were you paying attention brethren, did you really read this verse? I'll recall it for you: “ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this," so, in other words, Father is telling us that He—like He already stated in verse vMalachi 3:17—will spare His righteous Children, while at the same time pour out those broad shallow cups of Revelation 16 upon His Children who care not a thing about Him. Every one of Father’s wicked children shall be blotted out and be gone forever, completely removed from Father's Book of Life, and out of the minds of all who knew them. Their soul will be completely consumed from within, Jesus said in Matthew 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him Which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell [gehenna] .", what’s going to happen to them? Paul tells is in Hebrews 12: Hebrews 12:29 “For our God is a consuming fire.”, and Father explains it when telling satan what He is going to do to him as can be read in Ezekiel 28:18: Ezekiel 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee..
Malachi 4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. -> Father is reminding His Priests through Malachi that, Moses was Father's first prophet to His People Israel; whereas, Malachi is His last in the Old Testament. Father's Commandments were given to us to keep us out of trouble; He has told us in His Word, that if we break one of those Commandments, then there is a price to pay. Today the blood ordinances are done away with, because our Lord Jesus Christ became those sacrifices, and rituals. Jesus' blood was shed for one and all times; yet, part of those judgments are still in effect, for our civil laws of our land, are based upon the law given to Moses. The health laws are always in effect, and for the violation of them is not sin, but sickness, and poor health, and if we break Father's health Laws by eating the scavengers which were created by Him to clean His earth, then our bodies become sick because we have ingested that dirt and filth that they ingested when they cleaned His earth of the decaying body of a dead animal. It's funny, most everybody will say "ewww" if you ask them to eat a vulture; however, those same people are all too happy to eat a pig, a catfish, or any of the shell fish which Father tells us not to eat, because they were all designed BY HIM for the same purpose: to clean His earth.
4:5 YHVH’S Messenger. Restoring all.
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: -> Elijah is the Prophet that Father sent to Ahab to try and turn him to restore worship in the House of Israel back to Father YHVH. Sadly, this never came to pass; but, that doesn't mean that Father is going to give up trying to get His Children to return their hearts to Him. This is one of the last promises that Father gave us in the Old Testament, He promised us that "Elijah the prophet" would return before the coming of the Lord. Why is this important? Because Elijah teaches the Truth in Father’s Word, and not the traditions of men. When Father does send Elijah to earth prior to the "Day of the Lord," I don't think the world, including those calling themselves Christians, will be listening to him for, Elijah will be attacking all their customs, dogma, traditions, and also their way of life, and calling their sins, —just that—"sin." To most of the kurch world, any attacks on their satanic doctrines, which they have adopted, and continue teaching to this day, brands one an outsider. When Elijah the prophet returns, he will be condemning them and their teachings. Elijah will be preparing the way for Jesus’ return. We read in Malachi 3:1, and in Matthew 3:3, where John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah, in order to prepare the way for Jesus Christ at His First Advent. Elijah will also prepare the way for Jesus' Return. Elijah the prophet=This is one of only two places— II Chronicles 21:2 being the other—in all Father's Word where Elijah is actually identified as "Elijah the Prophet," in all other places he is identified as Elijah the Tishbite to indicate his own person; but, here as Elijah the prophet because, had Israel received Emmanuel: i.e. God in the flesh when He came as His only begotten Son Jesus, then John the Baptist would have been reckoned as Elijah; and, at His Last Supper, the wine representing His blood, would have been—as it will yet be—reckoned as "the blood of the (New) Covenant" as foretold in Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:8-13; 10:15-17; and 12:24.
4:6 YHVH’S Messenger. Restoring all.
Malachi 4:6 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. -> We see in this verse that there are two fathers; this coincides with and supports Matthew 13:34-43, in either case, it won't be long now until the hearts of the children with be turned to their fathers, Father's Children to His, and satan's children to his. When our adversary satan arrives in his role as the pretend-to-be-jesus: antichrist, it will be far too late, for you will either be sealed with Father’s Word before that time, or you will no longer be able to be sealed. The sealing is in the mind of each individual, and the seal is the understanding of Word of God in your mind. There will be no double mindedness at that time, for you will either be of God, or of satan.
