Malachi 4:1

CONTENTS

The Prophet in closing up his predictions to the Church, delivers a solemn message to the ungodly, and a gracious promise to the righteous. He declares the coming of Elijah before the last day of the Lord's coming.

Malachi 4:1

I cannot think with many, that this day spoken of, is the day of Christ's first coming in the flesh. Neither do I conceive, that all the event's which took place in Jerusalem, after our Lord's return to glory, can be said to have had their fulfillment of this prophecy. I am much more inclined to refer this day, that is said to burn as an oven, to the same day the Apostles speak of. See 2 Peter 3:7; Revelation 20:11 to the end. Revelation 21:8.
