Malachi 3:1-4

[print_link]

Behold I will send my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord for whom you search will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight – behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.

But who can bear the day of his coming, and who can stand his appearing, for he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may bring unto the Lord offerings of righteousness. Then will the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasing unto the LORD as in the days of old and as in ancient years.
