Select Translation

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.
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.

“And Malachi speaks also thus concerning Elias, who is the forerunner of the great Christ.”

What the Early Church wrote about Malachi 4 (4)

  • “Was the question of the Jews to John, โ€œAre you Elijah?โ€ to be understood in a Pythagorean sense and not in reference to the divine pronouncement: โ€œBehold, I send you Elijah, the Tishbiteโ€? But their theory of transmigration refers to the recall of a soul that had died long bef...”

  • “It is a matter of course that his forerunners must appear first, as he says by Malachi and the angel, โ€œI will send to you Elijah the Tishbite before the Day of the Lord, the great and notable day, comes; and he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the diso...”

  • “Will he not also inquire how one ought to consider John himself to be Elijah who is to come, according to Malachiโ€™s statement: โ€ฆ โ€œAnd behold, I am sending you Elijah the Tishbite before the great and renewed Day of the Lord comes, who will restore the heart of the father to hi...”

  • “Therefore you are invited by this to always look โ€œto the eastโ€ where โ€œthe Sun of Righteousnessโ€ arises for you, where a light is born for you; that you may never โ€œwalk in darknessโ€ and that that last day does not seize you in darkness.”
