Malachi 4 : 1For, 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. 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.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. 4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: 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.
Matthew 3: 1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.


Four hundred years passed from Malachi to John the Baptist. Worldly books gives us some account of what happened during that time. This time was all about worldly kings and power a time we would not want any part of , oh wait we are in it.
Alexander the Great was part of this time period and the people of Israel were spared as they made concession and even named their children after Alexander. As war and power struggles went on the people turned away from God and more to the world to not suffer and die, except a few.

Around 277 BC, in God's wrath He allowed Antiochus and his armies to destroy the temple and thousands died and became slaves. Writings were burned and people either suffered and died or worshiped little gods. Some heathens were saved by the courage of those that remained steadfast to the Lord. Leaders came and went but around 63 BC Herod the Great shows up . He was a man that got what he wanted even killed his wife and sons. He taxed the people and enlarged the temple and made it beautiful.

“Matthew 24: 1And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”


Malachi is amazing it tells us of Jesus and John coming but also of Jesus coming again. God was angry in Malachi and He let people have and follow worldly kingdoms for hundreds of years before Jesus was born. We are now thousands of years since Jesus went to the Cross for us. Jesus is clear over and over He will return again but only God knows when that is. Jesus left us all the things to watch for and be ready everyday.

We are clueless what the remnant each century went through. But we ended up with great parents that raised John the Baptist. We had people like Mary because someone each generation kept the Word in their hearts and minds ,they were Daniels.

“Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.”

The world has and can take , burn and destroy everything they want.

“Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”


Malachi explains hell is real , there were people that knew and believed in Luke 12:5 , those four hundred years.
The church created fast food , short cuts and comfortable ways to get the Word of God the last hundred years or so .

That is nothing in the time line and many will fall because they were not ready for great tribulation. Read and study the four hundred years between Malachi and Jesus being born , that is how and what we were to be prepared for every generation. We had to say no , we had to have His words on our hearts and minds to endure to the end. True faith was never found in comfort zones, in air controlled rooms , man made bible studies or by listening to humans for hire . Peter and Paul shows us this over and over.
