Discuss Malachi 3 Page 6

Ralph, Malachi 3:1 Behold I (Jesus) will send my (Jesus') messenger (John the Baptist) , and he (John) shall prepare the way before me (Jesus): And the Lord (Jesus) whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his (Jesus) temple ( I Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you) , even the messenger of the covenant (Jesus), whom ye delight in: behold he (Jesus) shall come, saith the Lord of host. Matthew 3:1-3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea. (vs) 2 And saying, repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (vs) 3 For this is he (Elijah) that was spoken of by the prophet E-sai-as (Isaiah), Isaiah 40:3 saying, the voice of one (John) crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord (Jesus), make his (Jesus') paths straight. May the Spirit grace you with his understanding.

Patrick, the major and minor books of prophesy all speak of the day of the Lord. The day of the Lord began at the ministry of John the Baptist and has continued to the present. Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. (vs) 12 And from the days of John until now the kingdom or heaven suffereth violence ,..... Malachi 3:1 Behold I (Jesus) will send my messenger (John the Baptist), an he (John) shall prepare the way before me (Jesus): and the Lord (Jesus) whom ye seek shall appear in his (Jesus) temple,.... ( I Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God [Jesus] dwelleth in you?) Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a son over his house; whose house are we,.... Zachariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh,.... (vs 6) And it shall come to pass in that day (day of the Lord: began 2000 years ago), that the light (Jesus; Spirit of God) shall not be clear, or dark: (vs 7) But it (day of the Lord) shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day (light) or night (dark): but it shall come to pass at evening time (end of the day of the Lord) it (day of the Lord) shall be light (Jesus; the Spirit of God in you, Jesus is the light of the world in you ). Matthew 13:33 ..... The kingdom of heaven (Christ in you) is like unto leaven (Spirit of God) which a woman ( Galatians 4:26 new Jerusalem: the mother of us all) took, and hid in three measures of meal (us; the meat offering to God), till the whole (lump; all mankind) was leavened (by the Spirit of God). Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, then the lump is holy;....

This is for you, David. Malachi 3:16-17

"Then they that feared (reverence;honor) the Lord, spoke often to one another: and the Lord hearkened, and Heard it, and a Book of Remembrance was written before Him, for them that feared the Lord, and that THOUGHT upon His Name."

"And they shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my Jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son, that serves him."

Let all be well with our souls, which are open to our Lord, Jesus. God has said: all souls are Mine. You are a treasure because you reach out to Him in your prayers, every day. Say, I give you my life and love today, Lord Jesus. I look to You for my salvation.

May the Lord bless and keep you. Mishael

I very much like your post Alex and agree. Connecting Scriptures together. Right in line with 1 Peter 1:7:

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

God Bless you brother!

Comments by Alex about Judgement, the lake of fire. His baptism of the H.G. AND FIRE. That what the world needs is judgement, The world is mankind,Its mankind that needs a new heart and a new spirit. There is absolulty nothin wrong with this beautiful earth, The new earth and new spirit is simply our new innerman,our new hearts and our new spirit.Its mankinds demonic nature,our carnal minds etc that needs to be destroyed.God is not gonna destroy this beautiful earth as Isaiah said as the new earth and the new heaven shall remain so shall thy Seed and Name remain. The seed of the sower is gonna form a new innerman in us thus the new earth.Man has always been symbolic of th earth. The 1st man was of the earth earthly but the 2 nd man is the lord from heaven, thus the new earth is simply Christ in us. which is the H.G. HIS NAME SAKE. Thus that lake of fire is simply another Jordan a river of life etc As our God is a consuming fire, EVERY liar ( sinner ) shall have their part in the lake of fire,THATS EVERYBODY NO EXCEPTIONS We need that lake of fire its simply his baptism of fire and the H.G.Who shall abide the day of his coming, Who shall stand when he appears, for he shall be as a refiners FIRE and fullers soap. mal 3 the 2 nd coming that refiners fire is his lake of fire as our God is a consuming fire. there is absolutlty nobody that is gona escape the lake of fire Just as nobody cd escape the curse of Adam, Not one, thus Nobody can escape the blood of the lamb, Thats y they call his the 2 nd ADAM NOBODY CAN ESCAPE THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB,if i be lifted up i will draw ALL MEN unto me, thus nobody can escape the blood of the lamb that 2 nd ADAM. TY JESUS. NOT 1 SINGLE PERSON CD ESCAPE THE CURSE OF ADAM,Thus not 1 single person can escape the blood ( the blessing of the lamb ) Thus every person will have their part in the lake of fire,The great cleasing. The lake of fire was for satan and his angels AND mankinds carnal mind which is in rank with satan. Thank YOU JESUS.

Comments by Alex about our old adamic nature, we answer to the RED HEIFER we need to be burnt to ashes.remember the ashes of a heifer. but now we are the heifer, the Church answers to Red Heifer,our old adamic nature which is our carnal minds needs to be burnt to ashes at the door of the tabernacle ( our hearts ).Remember he said he wd not leave them root nor branch,nothin is gonna be left of our adamic nature,our carnal minds that we use to go lusting after everthing we see. We need that baptism of fire as our God is a consuming fire which is gonna come via his word,You are made clean by the word i have spoken unto you, But his word is the fire as Jeremiah said. I'm talking bout judgement as our God is a consuming fire anythime you read about baptism of fire thats his judgement whom the lord loveth he chaseth, thank God for that lake of fire its simply a lake of Gods spirit AS OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE , AKA AS THAT RIVER OF LIFE.DANIEL SAW 3 MEN IN THAT RIVER OF LIFE. Who shall abide the day of his coming , Who shall stand when he appears ,for he shall be as a REFINERS FIRE AND FULLERS SOAP that might offer up our bodies as a living sacrifice , This is Gods judgement that we so need, which is his baptism of fire, behold i come to bring fire on the earth, which is his baptism of fire, which is his word that is his fire as the word makes us clean its his fire that is gona make us clean. The great judge is the H.G. REMEMBER SOLOMON WAS THE GREATEST JUDGE IN THE O.T. And Solomon means Comforter symbolic of the H.G. AND FIRE that IS GONA MAKE OUR BODIES HIS TEMPLE. But his temple has to be made clean thus his baptism of fire. Always remember our God is a consuming fire that is gonna consume our adamic nature, our carnal minds etc. we are gonna have the mind of Christ, We need judgement, which is his baptism of fire and the H.G. WE ANSWER TO THE RED HEIFER. HEIFER IMPLIES FEMALE THE CHURCH IS FEMALE BUT WE ARE STILL RED WITH SIN. That which is perfect has not come

And the Jesus and the letter "J" is only 400 years old. As the saying is true Satan deceiveth the whole world.

Revelation 9:20

And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

Malachi 3:16

Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

Jeremiah 16:19 King James Version (KJV)

19 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

The Godhead Scriptures

Acts 17

29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the GODHEAD is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

THE GODHEAD SCRIPTURES

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

1 John 5:7.

John 10:30, I and My Father are one.

My favorite is Malachi 3:16-17. God listens when we talk together abut Him.

Also, in these following scriptures , we clearly see the Godhead ( Acts 17:27-30) speaking to each other.

NOTE: In the King James Bible, the words , TRINITY and TRIUNE,

ARE NOT used!!! Someone who was unable to teach LET US as a lesson, used these other words to describe, Three.

If you had used the Search Box provided on this website you would have seen it come up with NOTHING for triune and Trinity. No further comment is needed.

Mishael

does malachi 3:10 apply to church giving today

I am saddened by some the Comments of this day. It is a COMMENT room; NOT an OPINION room.

The scriptures issue from DIVINE inspiration. It is GOD'S WORD. JESUS is the WORD OF GOD.

The King James Bible was carefully translated from Hebrew and Greek language so anybody could read it. This is a King James Bible Comment Website. We do not hash and rehash other languages; or fight over Jesus's NAME. Whatever language..it is in His Name that we are born again, baptised by The Holy Spirit; it is His Name that scatters DEMONS into outer darkness and dry places!!

Ecclesiastes 8:5

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a WISE man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.

Ezekiel 44:23

And they shall teach my people the difference between the HOLY and PROFANE, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

Jonah 4

And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand;

Malachi 3:18

Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Matthew 16:3

And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times???

1 Corinthians 2:14

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he discern....

If you need The GIFT of discerning of Spirits, I suggest that you ask the Holy Spirit for that gift. 1 Corinthians 12, 13, 14

It is very apparent to me that this website has a satanic assignment against it (the spirit of Antichrist). We must stand together as the Body of Christ and bind it's presence and cast it into deep outer darkness!

We must learn to discern! Confusion, schism, arguing, accusing; Divisions are FRUITS.

Mishael

Also, in these following scriptures , we clearly see the Godhead ( Acts 17:27-30) speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

1 John 5:7.

John 10:30, I and My Father are one.

Malachi 3:16-17. God listens when we talk together abut Him.

If you persist with trying to confuse people with Triune and Trinity, then you are opposing yourself.

Everyone here has the responsibility to search what we say. Is it scripture??

Quit being lazy and look this stuff up.

Mishael

Yes.

Also, in these following scriptures , we clearly see the Godhead ( Acts 17:27-30) speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:37

1 John 5:7.

John 10:30, I and My Father are one.

My favorite is Malachi 3:16-17. God listens when we talk together abut Him.

2 Corinthians 9:7

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

The tithe which is 10% of your paycheck, is given to your church. If you don't have a church then send it to the minister who teaches Scripture to you and feeds you the Bread of God (Bible).

I believe that offerings (not the tithe) are between you and God. It could be money, groceries for the needy, your own time helping others, etc. You dedicate your offering to God, in the name of Jesus. Speak it forth so it's recorded in the Book of Remembrance, Malachi 3:16.

I don't know what you mean by wilderness, if you want you can hit the REPLY button and let me know how to pray for you.

When you first enter this website you will see 2 SEARCH Boxes. One is empty and the other is set up so you can dial in your scripture.

If you want to read what scholars have explained about your scripture, you will need to touch your scripture to highlight it Yellow.

Scroll slowly downward until you see the COMMENTARY BOX.

Some commentary will explain in groups of scripture ie.1-5, 6-20, Etc

I use this a lot! If search can't find your particular verse, a box to search in Google will pop up. Scan the verses there and see if you see the scripture worded a little differently.

*****

If the word you remember is in either Old Testament; or New Testament, you can select one, and the search engine will list them in order.

There many BIBLE study helps on here that you can use to widen your searches and help you find something Faster. Don't be afraid to try everything out and see what it does. Be adventurous :)

Keep paper and pencil next to you so you can look up verses in your Bible later; in Context.

In your Bible: (Not the website)

Use center of each page columns to (the little alphabet letters) to widen your study of each verse. They may pertain to history, or prophesies.

If you get lost, just back arrow or back out and come back in again.

One verse mentions about worldwide swarms of locusts. This is a piece of a news article from 2/14/2020:

The current swarms of locusts are the most serious outbreak in decades, affecting Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Eritrea and most recently, Tanzania and Uganda. The locusts could fly into South Sudan, a country whose population is already struggling with high levels of hunger. The swarms are extremely large, in North-Eastern Kenya, one swarm was measured to be 37 miles long and 25 miles wide.

The UN says that desert locusts are the most dangerous migratory pests because of their capacity to decimate crops, threatening food security and livelihoods. Swarms, which can contain 40-80 million locust adults, can consume crops in one day that would provide food for 35,000 people.

"The longer the outbreak continues, the higher the risk of famine goes up," Peter Smerdon of the World Food Program in East Africa tells TIME. "You need to knock them out before they start wreaking further havoc."

The latest locust swarms migrated from the Arabian peninsula, where cyclones in the deserts of Oman this fall created ideal breeding conditions. The swarms arrived on the African continent three months ago and have since grown in size and scope. The UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has warned that the swarms could increase by 500 times come June, in light of rainy forecasts. [ Next paragraph indicates it may be from global weather changes]

if you go to the Commentary Box on this website, it will tell you what Wesley taught on this chapter in Joel.

It would be a study into history of locust swarms on earth. Joel's locusts seem to mention The Chaldeans.

I can't do a study like this quickly. Co to the Commentary Box ( below the 2 Search Boxes) and highlight the verses and read. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you place the Time on these events.

Oh ok I mean for example Joel 2: 11

The day of the lord is great and very terrible (? is who can abide it). who will?

Stand on what? Give us a verse :)

Who are these people who can stand

God will give you peace that passes human understanding. Ask for it.

Matthew 6:25

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

1 Corinthians 13:11

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a (woman)man, I put away childish things.

Malachi 3:16 Let God hear you speak Faith.

Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

*******

You need to turn from the dark thoughts and get some Faith in God inside of you.

A testimony of mine: I worked in a huge office of mostly women and women bosses.

I was sitting in my car at lunch, depressed, reading my Bible. I saw this verse that Jesus said: bless those that curse you. Went back into work. The boss was gossiping with other bosses.

I thought, I'm just going to give this scripture a try. I start blessing the bosses, in Jesus name and asked Him to promote them into better positions. Couple of weeks go by and they announce the big boss was taking a promotion in another building! Yay

Also, that a boss from outside was taking her place. We wait patiently. We got a new boss that was Much fairer and made our work lives fairer and revised work loads evenly. I was thanking God at lunch every day after.

If you'll bless and not curse; what you pray in honest faith will be done. It makes your faith get big. So if Satan thumps you, just activate your faith on a scripture that describes your situation. Let faith keep your hope solid while you're waiting.

Don't give the demons a legal right to make you despair. Give Praise to God all the while. Let Trust become a tree that gives you shade at lunch.

You accuse God? God never lies. His plan of salvation for ALL of believing mankind has been in place, since Genesis.

If you were a big reader you'd know that.

Thank the Lord you wrote this instead of speaking it: Malachi 3:16-18

Trust in the lord,and lean not to your understanding but depend on him.

Deuteronomy 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

Psalms 22:16-18 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Isaiah 9:5-7 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

Isaiah 11:2-9 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

John 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

John 4:25-26 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.

Messiah came. On the day he was crucified, well over 100 prophesies about him had bee fulfilled. You compare those prophesies with the recorded historical account of that time.

I heard this parable as a new Christian. I didn't really understand at first. I just did it as an act of obedience:

18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

Jesus is THE SOWER (verse 14). He gives the Increase according to the willingness of the heart. There's another scripture that says to give it with cheerfulness.

I know that the money is increased in my life: learning of the Word of God, healing, pizza on my table; prayers answered for my family.

I know satan fights against it because he immediately rushes in to argue about new tires, limping appliances, etc. He doesn't want us to be obedient in anything.

Well the tithe was to support the Priest tribe of Levi in the old testament.

Numbers 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

It was to support the tribe that did the work of the Lord for the Tabernacle.

TV preachers who claim you must tithe, to them of course, should MUST prove that they are of the tribe of Levi and are worthy to receive the tithe on behalf of the Lord. IF NOT send them nothing. If they are not of Levi then you are not tithing.

Jesus never said anything about losing salvation over tithes and neither did the apostles.

I suggest you ask the wife to show where this is since I can not find this doctrine.

Offerings yes and they were to be given willingly as one felt led.

Should we help the less fortunate or buy Jet fuel for the TV preachers Lear Jet?

Jet fuel is sure expensive as is the upkeep on mansions.

William,

You are correct. Salvation is by the grace of God. It is God who saves us and it is God who keeps us saved. We can't keep ourselves saved. We have to ask ourselves who are we trusting in as far as our salvation goes? Are we trusting in our own human work and effort, or are we trusting in God? If our salvation or loss of is dependent upon what we do or do not do, then it is no more of grace. There is nothing that reverse our physical birth, and there is nothing that can reverse our Spiritual birth. If it were not for the power of God's grip and His power to keep me saved, my flesh would walk away right now. So again, we have to ask, are we trusting in our fleshly work to keep us saved, or are we trusting in God's power? I know who I'm trusting. And apart from Him and His power to keep me, I'm a goner! Salvation cannot be lost. Salvation is all of God. The only thing I contributed to my salvation was the sin from which I needed to be saved from. Hopefully your wife will come to know that her salvation is not dependent upon what she does or does not do, but upon the power and grace of God. Jesus has taken up residence in my life and He promised that He will never leave me. So if He never leaves me, which He has promised, then I have eternal life because I have Christ, an He is eternal. I hope this helps. God bless!!!

I believe we aren't truly 'saved' until we're judged after this life. But I believe grace covers those who genuinely seek and follow Jesus- a Christian is a Christ follower. If someone doesn't follow Christ they won't be saved, and I believe if a Christian stops following Christ and follows the world or satan instead I believe they are not saved. If a Christian commits blasphemy of the holy spirit they aren't saved either. But there is nothing in the Bible about tithing and salvation being connected.

My wife tells me that you can lose your salvation by not giving your tithes ,I can say I am not sure about this,we are saved by the the Grace of our Father in Heaven.

Can anyone offer any info about this .

Thank you

So only give to receive Blessings ,we should give with a open mind ,not looking for something in return.

Well said !;
