The Great & Terrible Day of the LORD

God's people had stopped fearing the Lord.

And in that exact moment—into a weary, rebellious, doubting people—God speaks.
And here’s the word He gives in Malachi chapter 4:
“The day is coming…”
This is not a vague maybe. 
Not a soft warning. 
This is a divine certainty. 

A day of fire and finality. 
A day of joy and healing for the righteous, and a day of total reckoning for the arrogant and wicked.
