The Great Day of the Lord
1 # 4:1 Ch 4:1–6 is ch 3:19–24 in Hebrew “For behold, #[ver. 5; ch. 3:2] the day is coming, #[2 Thess. 1:7, 8] burning like an oven, when #ch. 3:15 all the arrogant and #ch. 3:15 all evildoers #Isa. 47:14; [Matt. 3:12; Luke 3:17]will be stubble. The day that is coming #Isa. 47:14; [Matt. 3:12; Luke 3:17]shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. 2But for you #ch. 3:16 who fear my name, #Ps. 84:11; Luke 1:78; John 1:4; 8:12; 9:5; 12:46 the sun #[Jer. 23:6] of righteousness shall rise #Isa. 53:5 with healing in its wings. You shall go out #[Jer. 50:11]leaping like calves from the stall. 3And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, #See ch. 3:17on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.
4 # [Deut. 4:9, 10] “Remember #See Ex. 20:3-17; Deut. 4:10the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules#4:4 Or and just decrees that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.
5 # [ch. 3:1] “Behold, I will send you #[Matt. 11:14; Mark 9:11; Luke 1:17] Elijah the prophet #Joel 2:31before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. 6And he will #[Luke 1:17] turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and #Isa. 11:4; [Zech. 5:3]strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”#4:6 The Hebrew term rendered decree of utter destruction refers to things devoted (or set apart) to the Lord (or by the Lord) for destruction

Judgment and Covenant Renewal
# In Hebrew texts 4:1-6 is numbered 3:19-24. 1“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. 3Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.
4“Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.
5“See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.”
