Old Testament passage - Prophet Malachi chapter 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn
as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up,
saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither
root nor branch.
NOTE: "Sun"
of righteousness in the verse below.
2 But
unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and
grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And
ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith
the Lord of hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded
unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the Lord:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the
children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
