引言：

圣经中多次提到那日，指的就是主再来时候的审判日。有关人类的结局和命运会如何，世人都非常好奇想要知道，其实答案都在圣经的里面！在圣经中有关末世信息的经文其实一共有150章，而玛拉基书第4章其实是其中非常重要的一章！

一、神的大而可畏之日

1.恶人的结局（V1）
在神大而可畏的审判日临到的时候，所有不信的恶人，他们的身体都会被火烧尽，然而他们的灵魂则会落在永不熄灭的火湖中，接受永远的极刑。

2.义人的结局（V2-3）
在神大而可畏的审判日临到的时候，敬畏神的义人要复活过来，并得着神完完全全的医治。他们必要欢喜快乐，在神公义的审判下，践踏一切不信的恶人。

二、做好准备迎接那日

1. 记念神的律例典章（V4）
对于迎接主的再来，我们首先要做的，就是尊重圣经，也就是神的话语，不仅要认真地去读，而且也要竭力地去活出来。

2. 顺服以利亚的工作（V5-6）
对于迎接主的再来，我们第二样要做的，就是要顺服圣灵，也就是以利亚的灵所在做的先知性的工作。无论我们是作为肉身或属灵的父亲，还是作为肉身或属灵的孩子，让我们都要学习先做转向的人，去修复那些破损的关系，好让我们在神的恩典下去度过主再来以前世界所会面对的大灾难。

总结：

让我们都要带着一颗敬畏的心去迎接神大而可畏的审判日。要知道我们持守圣洁，走在讨神喜悦的道路上并不是徒然的。当主再来的时候，我们的身体必要得着完全的修复，进入到那个永不朽坏的身体中！

所以如今，当我们继续在预备自己等候主再来的日子里，我们要诚实并认真地去看待神的话语，并竭力地去活出来。同时，我们也要欢迎圣灵，也就是以利亚的灵所要做的工作。让我们都选择首先做那个转向的人，去修复一切破损的关系，好让我们在神的恩典下胜过末后的达灾难，并最终迎接主的再来！

Malachi 4: Meet that day with awe
GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

The Day is mentioned many times in the Bible, referring to the Day of Judgment at the Lord’s return. The world is very curious to know what the end and destiny of mankind will be, but the answer is in the Bible! There are actually 150 chapters in the Bible about the end time message, and Malachi 4 is actually one of the most important chapters!

1. The great and fearful day of God

(1) The end of the wicked (V1)
When the great and fearful day of God’s judgment comes, all the unbelieving wicked will have their bodies consumed by fire, yet their souls will fall into the lake of fire, which will never be quenched, and receive eternal death.

(2) The end of the righteous (V2-3)
At the coming of the great and awesome day of judgment of God, the righteous who fear God will be raised up, and will receive the complete healing of God. They will rejoice and be glad, and trample down all the unbelieving wicked under the righteous judgment of God.

2. Preparation for that day

(1) Remember God’s laws and regulations (V4)
The first thing we must do for welcoming the Lord’s return is to respect the Bible, which is the Word of God, not only by reading it carefully, but also by living it out with all our might.

(2) Submit to the work of Elijah (V5-6)
The second thing we must do to welcome the Lord’s return is to submit to the prophetic work of the Holy Spirit, that is, the prophetic work that Elijah’s spirit was doing. Whether we are as physical or spiritual fathers, or as physical or spiritual children, let us learn to be a person who will turn, to repair those broken relationships so that we can go through the great tribulation that the world will face before the Lord’s return by the grace of God.

Conclusion:

Let us all meet God’s great and fearful judgment day with a reverent heart. Know that it is not in vain that we keep holy and walk in the way of pleasing God. When the Lord returns, our bodies must be completely restored to the body that will never perish!

So now, as we continue to prepare ourselves for the day of the Lord’s return, we are to look honestly and seriously at the Word of God, and to live it out with all our might. At the same time, we are to welcome the work that the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Elijah, will do. Let us all choose to be the ones who turn first to repair all broken relationships, so that we may, by God’s grace, overcome the end-time tribulation and finally welcome the Lord’s return!
