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

The day of judgment
The LORD said:
1The day of judgment is certain to come. And it will be like a red-hot furnace with flames that burn up proud and sinful people, as though they were straw. Not a branch or a root will be left. I, the LORD All-Powerful, have spoken! 2But for you who honour my name, victory will shine like the sun with healing in its rays, and you will jump around like calves at play. 3When I come to bring justice, you will trample those who are evil, as though they were ashes under your feet. I, the LORD All-Powerful, have spoken!
4Don't ever forget the laws and teachings I gave my servant Moses on Mount Sinai.#4.4 Sinai: Hebrew “Horeb”.
5I, the LORD, promise to send the prophet Elijah before that great and terrible day comes.#Mt 11.14; 17.10-13; Mk 9.11-13; Lk 1.17; Jn 1.21. 6He will lead children and parents to love each other more, so that when I come, I won't bring doom to the land.
