“The LORD of Hosts says, “The day of
judgment is coming… 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.” Mal 4:1-2
Lord of Hosts… Sun of Righteousness….
Let’s explore these names:
Lord: Jehovah =
"the existing One"
Hosts: “tsaba’”: means
host of an organized army; host of angels; host of moon and stars; host of whole creation
Sun:
“shemesh” means sunrise out of the East; sunset in the west; publically;
openly; shields and
glittering, shining battlements.
“For as lightening comes from the East is visible even in the west, so
will be the coming of the Son of Man…they shall see the
Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven
with
power and great glory.” Matt. 24:27, 30
Righteousness:
“tsedaqah” means judge; ruler; king; messiah; vindication; justification;
salvation of God and people.
“I
saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named
Faithful and True, for He judges fairly and wages a righteous war. His eyes were
like flames of fire, and on His head were many crowns. A name was written on
Him that no one understood except Himself. He wore a robe dipped in blood, and
His title was the Word of God. The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of
pure white linen, followed Him on white horses. From His mouth came a sharp
sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will
release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress.
On His robe at His thigh was written
this title: King of all kings and Lord
of all lords.” Rev. 19:11-16
Let’s now read the above Malachi scripture with its “fleshed
out” context:
The Existing One, Host
of all of creation, angels, moon, stars and the armies of heaven says: But for
you who revere My Name, like a sunset is seen in the West or a sunrise in the
East, I, Jesus am coming with My heavenly armies. ALL will see Me: Magnificent
Messiah, Ruler, King and Judge, who brings God’s vindication, justification and
salvation to peoples of earth. You who revere Me will rise with healing in your
wings and you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall.
Prophesy is unfolding at a rapid pace. E.g.: Just this week,
current events in Iraq (remember Babylon will be the epicenter of evil in the
last days), Christian beheadings in
numerous nations, rampant evil judges who devise wicked schemes…
“When
you see all these things, you can know His return is very near, right at the
door.” Matt. 24:33
May we be ready. Much love
this week. ~Shaun and Betsy
