The promises made ************ Just for everyone that might be interested - I fully believe that one must take each verse in the Bible in context with the what is written. Therefore I submit below the full chapter of Malachi 4. Just to make sure everyone understands - Christian church's use various bibles - New International Version, King James Version, New King James Version, American Standard Version, etc. These various versions have been created to be more readable and understandable to some. We Christians all have our favorite versions. Malachi chapter 4 "Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire, says the Lord Almighty. "Not, a root or a branch will be leftr to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the Lord Almighty. "Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel. Malachi 4:5-6 actually states "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. (6) He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."
