What is this burning day all about? What is the telltale sign that this day is upon us? What are some of the details of this day and what is the order that things will occur in?
Malachi 4:1-4… For, look! the day is coming that is burning like the furnace, and all the presumptuous ones and all those doing wickedness must become as stubble. And the day that is coming will certainly devour them,” Jehovah of armies has said, “so that it will not leave to them either root or bough. 2 And to YOU who are in fear of my name the sun of righteousness will certainly shine forth, with healing in its wings; and YOU will actually go forth and paw the ground like fattened calves.” 3 “And YOU people will certainly tread down [the] wicked ones, for they will become as powder under the soles of YOUR feet in the day on which I am acting,” Jehovah of armies has said. 4 “Remember, YOU people, the law of Moses my servant with which I commanded him in Horeb concerning all Israel, even regulations and judicial decisions.
What is the basis of this judgment that brings about the burning day?
There are 10 laws that mankind must live by. They were given at the Mont Horeb to Moses with God’s finger writing them on two stone tablets. These who will not live by this law will die because of them and they will be called the wicked.
A physical day of reckoning is on the horizon and is approaching fast. The message of what is to come has already been announced. The sentence of judgment has now been declared. How is this judgment going to be executed, what will it look like and how will we know it is occurring?
2 Peter 3:10-13… Yet Jehovah’s day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise, but the elements (heavenly bodies) being intensely hot will be dissolved (released), and earth and the works in it will be discovered (learned by searching). 11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought YOU to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion, 12 awaiting and keeping close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah, through which [the] heavens being on fire will be dissolved (G3089) and [the] elements (G4747) being intensely hot will melt! 13 But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell.
The burning day of God has been announced from the beginning when the wickedness of mankind was too much for God. He had his intentions announced to Enoch of the things that were coming and what he was prepared to do about it.
Enoch 80:2-3… The years will be shortened in the times of wrongdoers. Their offspring will be backward in their prolific soil, and everything done on earth will be subverted, and will not appear in its season. The rain will be held back, and heaven will withhold it. 3 In those days the fruits of the earth will be late, and will not flourish at their proper time, and in their season the fruits of the trees will be withheld at their proper time.
In the time of the end, in the years of the wicked wrongdoers, time will be shortened and the effect on the earth will be to the growing season. What could affect the earth in that way?
Enoch 80:4-7… “The moon will change its laws, and not be seen at its proper time. 5 But in those days, it will be seen in heaven, on top of a great chariot in the west. It will shine more than light should shine. 6 Many leaders of the stars will wander off, change their ways and actions. Those will not appear at their proper times which have been prescribed for them, 7 and all the classes of the stars will be shut up against wrongdoers.
Here we see that something in the sky will cause the Moon to change its course and the stars too are affected. There is a shake up in the heavens but not to all the stars. Could this shutting up of the stars be the start of The Days of Darkness?
Enoch 80:7-8… The thoughts of the inhabitants of the earth will go astray concerning them, and they will go astray from their ways. They will do wrong, and think themselves gods, 8 and evil will increase among them. Punishment will come on them and destroy them.”
Why would the people of the earth begin to think themselves Gods and increase in wrongdoing due to it? What time frame is this going to happen in and has Jehovah God revealed this to any other of his prophets of old?
Isaiah 65:17… For here I am creating new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart.
Isaiah was given information about the new heavens and the new earth, so what else could Isaiah tell us about the burning day of Jehovah?
Isaiah 34:1-5… Come up close, YOU nations, to hear; and YOU national groups, pay attention. Let the earth and that which fills it listen, the productive land and all its produce. 2 For Jehovah has indignation against all the nations, and rage against all their army. He must devote them to destruction; he must give them to the slaughter. 3 And their slain ones will be thrown out; and as for their carcasses, their stink will ascend; and the mountains must melt because of their blood. 4 And all those of the army of the heavens must rot away (H4743). And the heavens must be rolled up, just like a book scroll; and their army will all shrivel away, just as the leafage shrivels off the vine and like a shriveled [fig] off the fig tree. 5 “For in the heavens my sword will certainly be drenched. Look! Upon Edom it will descend, and upon the people devoted by me to destruction in justice.
If you were not paying attention, you could miss what or who God was speaking too or about. It is to those who are called the army in the heavens that God’s sword is coming for, and there will be a removal of their power because of their badness.
The heavens will be shaken and cleaned out to make room for what is coming, the New Heavens & the New Earth.
The best way to clean up or reset a system of government is to get rid of what is undesirable, and war has been the tool of choice by all in the past. Again, it is time for a reset, the kingdom of God is coming and God himself has called for it.
Isaiah 13:3-5… I myself have issued the command to my sanctified ones. I have also called my mighty ones for [expressing] my anger, my eminently exultant ones (H5947 & H1346). 4 Listen! A crowd in the mountains, something like a numerous people! Listen! The uproar of kingdoms, of nations gathered together! Jehovah of armies is mustering the army of war. 5 They are coming from the land far away, from the extremity of the heavens, Jehovah and the weapons of his denunciation, to wreck all the earth.
Who has God called too? Who will do the fighting? The army of the heavens will be pushed out of heaven to fight and wreck the earth at God’s bidding. God called these ones arrogant and proud, because they are his weapons of choice to fulfill his anger and denunciation against the wrongdoers, sinners against God.
The time is up, God’s anger will be expressed upon the earth. This is like a scary Sci-fi movie that has become real, so what can we do?
Isaiah 13:6-9… “Howl, YOU people, for the day of Jehovah is near! As a despoiling from the Almighty it will come. 7 That is why all hands themselves will drop down, and the whole heart itself of mortal man will melt. 8 And people have become disturbed. Convulsions and birth pains themselves grab hold; like a woman that is giving birth they have labor pains. They look at each other in amazement. Their faces are inflamed faces. 9 “Look! The day of Jehovah itself is coming, cruel both with fury and with burning anger, in order to make the land an object of astonishment, and that it may annihilate [the land’s] sinners out of it.
So, what can we do? Stop sinning and repent, call out to the only name given to mankind to call upon, Jesus Christ and ask to be forgiven.
What else will happen in this time of God’s burning anger?
Isaiah 13:10-13… For the very stars of the heavens and their constellations of Kesil will not flash forth their light; the sun will actually grow dark at its going forth, and the moon itself will not cause its light to shine. 11 And I shall certainly bring home [its own] badness upon the productive land, and their own error upon the wicked themselves. And I shall actually cause the pride of the presumptuous ones to cease, and the haughtiness of the tyrants I shall abase. 12 I shall make mortal man rarer than refined gold, and earthling man [rarer] than the gold of Ophir. 13 That is why I shall cause heaven itself to become agitated, and the earth will rock out of its place at the fury of Jehovah of armies and at the day of his burning anger.
There is always a cause and effect, God tells you why he is doing the rocking, why the day of darkness, but do you really understand why it is necessary?
Our Father in heaven let your name be sanctified, let your kingdom come, let your will take place in heaven also upon the earth… Do you know this prayer? Do you know who taught you to pray it? Do you know why God’s kingdom needs to come?
Revelation 21:1-2… And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. I saw also the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
The time has come for the bride and her husband Jesus Christ to reside with mankind. So, wickedness cannot reside here on the earth at the same time. Good things are coming to those who love God and the Son of righteousness for they will heal mankind.
Revelation 21:3-5… With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” 5 And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also, he says: “Write, because these words are faithful and true.
Amen, Come Lord Jesus, let your kingdom come.
