Malachi 3:1-3
3:1 “I am about to send my messenger,
who will clear the way before me. Indeed, the Lord
you are seeking will suddenly come to his temple, and the messenger
of the covenant, whom you long for, is certainly coming,” says the
Lord who rules over all.
3:2 Who can endure the day of his coming? Who can keep standing when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire, like a launderer’s soap.
3:3 He will act like a refiner and purifier of silver and will cleanse the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will offer the Lord a proper offering.
Malachi 4:1
4:1 (3:19) “For indeed the day is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the arrogant evildoers will be chaff. The coming day will burn them up,” says the Lord who rules over all. “It will not leave even a root or branch.
Hebrews 3:1-3
Jesus and Moses
3:1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,
3:2 who is faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses was also in God’s house.
3:3 For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself!
Hebrews 10:28-31
10:28 Someone who rejected the law of Moses was put to death
without mercy
on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
10:29 How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for
the Son of God, and profanes
the blood of the covenant that made him holy,
and insults the Spirit of grace?
10:30 For we know the one who said, “
Vengeance is mine, I will repay,”
and again, “
The Lord will judge his people.”
10:31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews 12:25
12:25 Take care not to refuse the one who is speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less shall we, if we reject the one who warns from heaven?
