Malachi 4:1 Made Simple

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Listen up — there's a day coming that's going to be like a blazing furnace. Everyone who's full of themselves and everyone doing evil? They're going to be like dried-up grass that gets completely burned away. This day I'm talking about will consume them entirely, says the Lord who commands heaven's armies. Nothing will be left of them — no roots, no branches, nothing.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's justice day is coming, and pride and evil won't survive the heat.
