Malachi 3:2
[The messiah that the Father said will come is a purifier whose work would be: to divulge to us evil, deliver us from evil, and disinfect us from evil.]
The Purifier will Divulge to Us Evil
“But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? — Malachi 3:2
“Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong in the days that I will deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken and will act. —Ezekiel 22:14
The Purifier will Deliver Us from Evil
For He is like a refiner’s fire . . . 3“He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, . . . —Malachi 3:2c, 3
“And I will bring the third part through the fire, refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”—Zechariah 13:9
The Purifier will Disinfect Us from Evil
. . . like fullers’ soap. 3. . . He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness. —Malachi 3:2c, 3
“‘A son honors his father, and a servant his master. Then if I am a father, where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is My respect?’ says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests who despise My name. But you say, ‘How have we despised Your name?’ 7“You are presenting defiled food upon My altar. —Malachi 1:6, 7
