  1. Malachi 4 A time-limited offer

  2. The story so far Dead and formal religion Hearts that were wrong Compromise and disobedience Arrogant, self-righteous blindness Bad leadership Robbing God Judgement to come

  3. Overview The day of the Lord Certainty What it will mean for different people The required response The final warning So what?

  4. The day of the Lord NIV translation “surely” Means it is sure / certain Most versions say “behold” or “look” Will burn like a furnace Intensity Purpose Irresistability

  5. The day of the Lord: unbelievers Will burn like a furnace The arrogant Every evildoer It will burn away all stubble / dross The judgement is God’s doing It will utterly destroy The root as well as the branch

  6. The day of the Lord: believers The furnace will refine Those who revere God’s name Christ: the Sun of Righteousness Risen with healing in His wings This sun will never again set Will bring liberty and joy Like young calves released from the stall Victorious exaltation

  7. It’s the final countdown The required response: Remember Moses and the law Remember the decrees previously given Remember the prophets The final warning: Prophecy will cease Elijah will come Unity and the return to true religion The warning to those who will not turn

  8. So what? Judgement is certain, unavoidable and eternal Are we ready? (both believers and unbelievers) Do we have a right and balanced view of God? The day of judgement: 1 day with different effects? Do we truly love the God of justice and grace? Are we living for eternity? Looking forward to and living in the light of eternity? Are we bogged down in the present? Are we allowing God’s word to shape us? Are we only looking for experiences? This could be your last chance; Are you taking it seriously?
