  • The wicked will be burned up at the coming of Christ!
    Many prophecies in the Old Testament have a dual application. They were first given to the nation of Israel and applied to the land in which they lived. God designed that the Jews would be the center of influence for His kingdom to all the world. The words of the prophets described local enemies and literal places. But the Hebrews failed to fulfill their obligations in these conditional prophecies. Yet the words do not fall into the dust, but rather they are raised up and applied to spiritual Israel in a universal sense.

    In the poetic language of Isaiah, we listen to a victorious description of Israel looking upon the destruction of their enemies. Using hyperbole, he visualizes their annihilation. But does this passage mean dead bodies will forever be lying around on the new earth? Like other Bible teachings, we must look at the whole of Scripture on a topic.

    God’s Word clearly states, “‘Behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘that will leave them neither root nor branch. … You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,’ says the Lord of hosts” (Malachi 4:1, 3).

    In Isaiah 66:24, the tense of the Hebrew verb “does not die” means that the worm doesn’t live forever, but will do its complete work before it ceases to exist. The same is true of the fire that is “not quenched.” The same verb tense suggests that once this fire begins its work, it cannot be stopped until it has completely burned up what it is consuming.
    KEY BIBLE TEXTS
    And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Isaiah 66:24

    1For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

    2But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

    3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

    4Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

    5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

    6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

    Chapter 3
    1Behold, 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.

    2But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

    3And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

    4Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.

    5And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

    6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

    7Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

    8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

    9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

    10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

    11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

    12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

    13Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

    14Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?

    15And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

    16Then 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.

    17And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

    18Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

    Chapter 2
    1And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.

    2If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

    3Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.

    4And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.

    5My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.

    6The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.

    7For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

    8But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.

    9Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.

    10Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

    11Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.

    12The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.

    13And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.

    14Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

    15And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

    16For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

    17Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
    Malachi Chapter 2 1And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 2If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. 3Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. 4And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 5My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. 6The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity. 7For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. 8But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 9Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law. 10Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? 11Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. 12The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts. 13And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. 14Yet ye say, Wherefore?

    Chapter 1
    1The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.

    2I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,

    3And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

    4Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.

    5And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.

    6A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?

    7Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.

    8And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.

    9And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.

    10Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.

    11For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.

    12But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.

    13Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.

    14But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

  • 12 JANUARY (UNDATED SERMON)

    The sitting of the refiner

    ‘And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.’ Malachi 3:3
    SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: Hebrews 12:5–11

    I once heard a Welshman preach in his own native tongue. It was a sermon in which he got into the spirit of his subject, and spoke as one inspired. He used a very simple illustration when he said, ‘The mother has her dear babe upon her knee. It is time for washing; she washes its face. The little one cries; it loves not the soap; it loves not the water, and therefore it cries. Here is a great sorrow! Listen to its lamentations! It is ready to break its heart! What does the mother do? Is she sorrowful? Does she weep? No; she is singing all the while, because she understands how good it is that the child should suffer a little temporary inconvenience in order that its face, all smeared and foul, should become bright and beautiful again.

    Thus does the great Father rest in his love, and rejoice over us with singing while we are sighing and crying.’ Ours is but a child’s sorrow, sharp and shallow, of which the greatest source is our own ignorance of the great designs of the Perfecter of men. The Lord pities our childish sorrow, but he does not so regard it as to stay his hand from his cleansing work. ‘Let not thy soul spare for his crying’, said Solomon; and our wise Father when he is chastening us does not spare us for our crying. What if the metal that is put into the furnace should feel when the crucible is hot, and should cry out, ‘Oh, take me out; the fire is too hot; I cannot bear it. I am dissolving; I am melting; take me out.’ Would the assayer regard the entreaties of the metal? Ah, no! The refiner sits still. Why should he be flurried? He knows what he is at, and he knows that his divine methods are wise and infallible. He is not hurting the silver, but doing it lasting service.

    FOR MEDITATION: (Our Own Hymn Book no. 731 v. 2—John Mason, 1683)
    ‘His thoughts are high, His love is wise,
    His wounds a cure intend;
    And though He does not always smile,
    He loves unto the end.’

    12 JANUARY (UNDATED SERMON) The sitting of the refiner ‘And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.’ Malachi 3:3 SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: Hebrews 12:5–11 I once heard a Welshman preach in his own native tongue. It was a sermon in which he got into the spirit of his subject, and spoke as one inspired. He used a very simple illustration when he said, ‘The mother has her dear babe upon her knee. It is time for washing; she washes its face. The little one cries; it loves not the soap; it loves not the water, and therefore it cries. Here is a great sorrow! Listen to its lamentations! It is ready to break its heart! What does the mother do? Is she sorrowful? Does she weep? No; she is singing all the while, because she understands how good it is that the child should suffer a little temporary inconvenience in order that its face, all smeared and foul, should become bright and beautiful again.

    An earnest warning against lukewarmness

    ‘Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.’ Revelation 3:16
    SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: Malachi 3:6–18

    The condition in our text is one of mournful indifference and carelessness. They were not cold, but they were not hot; they were not infidels, yet they were not earnest believers; they did not oppose the gospel, neither did they defend it; they were not working mischief, neither were they doing any great good; they were not disreputable in moral character, but they were not distinguished for holiness; they were not irreligious, but they were not enthusiastic in piety nor eminent for zeal; they were what the world calls ‘Moderates’; they were of the Broad-church school, neither bigots nor Puritans; they were prudent and avoided fanaticism, respectable and averse to excitement.

    Good things were maintained among them, but they did not make too much of them; they had prayer meetings, but there were few present, for they liked quiet evenings at home: when more attended the meetings were still very dull, for they did their praying very deliberately and were afraid of being too excited. They were content to have all things ‘done decently and in order’, but vigour and zeal they considered to be vulgar.

    Such churches have schools, Bible-classes, preaching rooms and all sorts of agencies, but they might as well be without them, for no energy is displayed and no good comes of them. They have deacons and elders who are excellent pillars of the church, if the chief quality of pillars is to stand still and exhibit no motion or emotion. They have ministers who may be the angels of the churches, but if so they have their wings closely clipped, for they do not fly very far in preaching the everlasting gospel, and they are not flames of fire: they may be shining lights of eloquence, but they are not burning lights of grace, setting men’s hearts on fire. In such communities everything is done in a half-hearted, listless, dead-and-alive way, as if it did not matter much whether it was done or not.

    FOR MEDITATION: Christians should not only ‘abstain from all appearance of evil’ (1 Thessalonians 5:22), but also beware of glorying in the mere outward appearance of good (2 Corinthians 5:12), because the Lord looks on the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).

    The final perseverance of the saints

    ‘The righteous also shall hold on his way.’ Job 17:9
    SUGGESTED FURTHER READING (Spurgeon): John 10:1–30

    Scripture does not teach that a man will reach his journey’s end without continuing to travel along the road; it is not true that one act of faith is all, and that nothing else is needed of daily faith, prayer and watchfulness. Our doctrine is the very opposite, namely, that the righteous ‘shall hold on his way’, continuing in faith, repentance and prayer, and under the influence of the grace of God. We do not believe in salvation by a physical force which treats a man as a dead log and carries him towards heaven whether he wills it or not. No, he holds on, he is personally active about the matter, and plods on up hill and down dale till he reaches his journey’s end. We never dreamed that, because a man supposes that he once entered on this way, he may conclude that he is certain of salvation, even if he leaves the way immediately.

    No, but we say that he who truly receives the Holy Spirit, so that he believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, shall not go back, but persevere in the way of faith. It is written, ‘He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved’; this cannot be if he is left to go back and delight in sin as before; therefore, he shall be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation. Though the believer to his grief will commit many a sin, yet the tenor of his life will be holiness to the Lord, and he will hold on in the way of obedience. We detest the doctrine that a man who has once believed in Jesus will be saved even if he altogether forsakes the path of obedience. We deny that such a turning aside is possible to the true believer.

    FOR MEDITATION: Consider some of the references quoted by Spurgeon. Apostasy is a danger (1 John 2:19), but the final perseverance of the saints is supported by (a) the nature of the life imparted at regeneration (John 4:14; 1 Peter 1:23), (b) our Lord’s own express declarations (John 3:14–16, 36; 6:47, 51; 10:28), (c) our Lord’s intercession (Luke 22:31–32; John 17:11–12; Hebrews 7:25), (d) the character and work of Christ (John 13:1; 2 Timothy 1:12), (e) the tenor of the covenant of grace (Isaiah 54:10; 55:3), (f) the faithfulness of God (Malachi 3:6; John 6:39; Romans 11:29; 1 Corinthians 1:8), and (g) what has already been done in us (Jeremiah 31:3; Romans 5:9–10; 8:29, 33–35, 38–39; Ephesians 1:13–14; Philippians 1:6).
