The Day of the LORD

Verse1“For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace, when all the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble; the day is coming when I will set them ablaze,” says the LORD of Hosts. “Not a root or branch will be left to them.”

Verse2“But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like calves from the stall.

Verse3Then you will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day I am preparing,” says the LORD of Hosts.

Verse4“Remember the law of My servant Moses, the statutes and ordinances I commanded him for all Israel at Horeb.

Verse5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.

Verse6And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. Otherwise, I will come and strike the land with a curse.”

Study with care

Who is speaking, to whom, and why? Read the surrounding chapters. Distinguish what the text says from your interpretation and application, then discuss it with a trusted person in your church.

The JSON packet includes the full chapter, translator notes, source date, and permissions for content preparation. Teaching prepared from it still needs human review.
