The Day of the Lord: Terror or Triumph?

Malachi • God's Messenger Through the Centuries
The book of Malachi comes to a close with a discussion of the coming “day of the Lord,” a time of final judgment where the ultimate distinction between the righteous and the wicked will become evident to all. On that day the wicked will be consumed while the righteous will be healed. The wicked will perish while the righteous will leap like calves released from their stalls. The day of the Lord will be terror to the wicked but triumph for the righteous. And God promises to show us the path to righteousness by sending “Elijah” before the day of the Lord comes.
