Malachi 4
1"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a
furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that
is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root
or a branch will be left to them. 2But for you who revere my name,
the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go
out and leap like calves released from the stall. 3Then you will
trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the
day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty.
4"Remember the law of my servant Moses, the
decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.
5"See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before
that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. 6He will turn the
hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to
their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."
Psalm
150
1Praise the
LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 2Praise
him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3Praise
him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4praise
him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, 5praise
him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 6Let
everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
Revelation
22:6–21
6The angel said to me, "These words are
trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent
his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place."
7"Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who
keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."
8I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.
And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the
angel who had been showing them to me. 9But he said to me, "Do
not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets
and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!"
10Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of
the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. 11Let him who
does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let
him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be
holy."
12"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with
me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13I
am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that
they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into
the city. 15Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the
sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and
practices falsehood.
16"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this
testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the
bright Morning Star."
17The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And
let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and
whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
18I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy
of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues
described in this book. 19And if anyone takes words away from this
book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and
in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I
am coming soon."
Amen. Come, Lord
Jesus.
21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people.
Amen.
