The Burning Day
A day is coming that will burn like an oven. All the proud people and all who do bad things will be like straw. The day that comes will burn them up, says the Lord of hosts. It will not leave them any roots or branches. But the Son of righteousness will rise for you who respect my name. He will bring healing in his wings. You will go out and grow up like calves in a stall. You will walk on the bad people. They will be ashes under your feet on the day I do this, says the Lord of hosts.
Remember Moses and Elijah
Remember the law of Moses my servant. I gave it to him at Horeb for all Israel. Remember the rules and laws. I will send you Elijah the prophet. This will happen before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children. He will turn the hearts of the children to their fathers. I will do this so I don’t have to come and punish the earth with a curse.
