Malachi 3:16-Malachi 4:6 - A Book Of Remembrance Is Written
16 Those who respected Jehovah spoke to one another, and Jehovah listened to what they had to say. In his presence a memorial record was written down in a book listing those who reverence Jehovah and respect (esteem) (regard) his name. 17 They will be my people, said Jehovah of Hosts. On the day when I act, they will be mine (my special treasure) (my jewels). I will show them compassion just as parents show compassion to the children who serve them. 18 Once again my people will see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between the person who serves God and the one who does not.
1 Jehovah of Hosts proclaims: The day is coming when all arrogant and evil people will burn like stubble. On that day they will burn up and there will be nothing left of them, either root or bough. 2 The sun of righteousness with it's healing will shine on you who respect my name and obey me. You will be free and paw the ground like fat calves. 3 When I act you will tread down the wicked. They will be like dust under your feet, Jehovah of Hosts said.
4 You should remember the Law of Moses my servant. I commanded the statutes and ordinances (regulations and judgments) to him at Horeb for all Israel. 5 Behold! I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible Day of Jehovah comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers and bring them together again before I come and strike the earth with destruction (a curse).
