Discuss Malachi 3 Page 4

Hi Cecil, please read Psalm 37,

I knew a guy named Cecil at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. He adopted a 6month old baby girl that had been horrificly abused. I read your post several times. I closed the ap. Had to pray a little & think on your post. I haven't heard from our friend Cecil since I was a teenager. The MBAFB shut down shortly after those days & everyone moved away.

Cecil, GOD is Just. Have you heard of Moses? In Genesis, Abraham was promised several amazing things, a son from his 'wife', in their old age, etc. Gen. 12:2,3,7, but also that those heirs would be servant in strange land & afflicted 400 yrs. Genesis 15:12-13, if you read in depth you can find GOD's justice. Genesis 12:10-17, Genesis 16:1-16, Genesis 21:9-19 = it was in Egypt, Abraham's children of Sarah's son Isaac's offspring were afflicted.

Genesis 18, shows great mercy of GOD that if 10 righteous were in that land (Sodom & Gomorrah) it would've been spared. That's his Nephew Lot's friends & family. ?, Right here is proof the GOD interecedes on People's behalf when they obey HIM.

GOD's ways are not our ways, Isaiah 55:8,9,

We cannot blame GOD for wickedness of man = Genesis 6:5-6,

Yet GOD shows us mercy & unimaginable love, John 3:16-17, salvation through sacrifice, Psalms 18:25-27,

GOD is merciful, true & Just. If you read the books that go alongside Isaiah you'll get a clearer picture: 2Chronicles 36, Jeremiah 29, Jeremiah 51, Exodus 22:22, Isaiah 1:17, Isaiah 1:23, Jeremiah 7:6, Jeremiah 22:3, Ezekiel 22:7, Malachi 3:5, Zechariah 7:10, you can start with those verses because that's most of what GOD asked of Israel & Judah. Then please read the Books & chapters.

Then Babylon: 2Kings 20:12-18,19, Daniel 1, 2Kings 25:8-9, I stopped there because that's enough about the evil.

Hopefully these are helpful if you are trying to search for truth & understanding. You can also ask for wisdom James 1:5-6,21,

Job 38:1-41, James 4:12,

* Hebrews 7:25,

Ezekiel 24:6 Ezekiel is a Prophet of GOD ALMIGHTY as proclaimed Ezekiel 1:1-3, & verified because his prophecies happened. Seething means boiling.

Ezekiel 24:2 Jeremiah, Isaiah & other Prophets warned Israel & Judah that if they didn't do away with oppression, holding back wages of hired, justice, judgement for widows & fatherless children then they would be captured by Babylon.

Exodus 22:22, Deuteronomy 24:17, Isaiah 1:11-25, Jeremiah 7:3-7, Jeremiah 22:3-22, Ezekiel 22:7, Zechariah 7:8-11, Malachi 3:5-

& to stop worship of other false gods: Jeremiah 7:18, Isaiah 58,

Jeremiah 34:7-22,

During this GOD talking with Ezekiel, Ezekiel 24:1-14,

Ezekiel 24:15-19, GOD tells HIS Prophets to do very difficult things at times. "tire = headress, turban ' then explains why & what that meant : Ezekiel 24:20-25

Ezekiel 24:26-27 is amazing because from, Ezekiel 3:26-27, Jeremiah seems to be unable to speak, until chapter 6. & possibly from & apparently from Ezekiel 24:27, until Ezekiel 33:21-22, therefore fulfilling the Prophecy.

Sometimes studying much reveals much & more difficult questions sometimes take longer for understanding.

Hopefully this is helpful.

Wow! The Book of Mark really compacts many important moments into 1 chapter & it's 1st Chapter.

Mark 1:1-5 : Exodus 15:2, Isaiah 40:3, Malachi 3:1, Matthew 3:3, Matthew 11:10, Luke 1:76, Luke 3:4, Luke 7:27,

Vrs 6.- compare: Jeremiah 13:1-11, 2Kings 1:8,

Mark 1:13, : Psalms 106:14, Matthew 4:1, Luke 4:2,

Mark 1:14, : Luke 3,

Mark 1:44, : Leviticus 10:10, Leviticus 13,

Isaiah 11:1-4,

Book of John first. Then Romans, which has the "Romans Road" salvation scriptures.

Then the book of Luke, begins when Jesus was born. Matthew=teaching on Joseph's contact by an Angel; and Jesus's Geneology.

A special blessing for you: Malachi 3:16-18

All of the gospels to learn what Jesus is like because we are his followers.

Some of the greatest lessons are on how to spend time in prayer away from distractions. How to praise in song (psalms) like King David did; and to worship our Father.

Ask the Holy Spirit to be your Teacher; to anoint you for reading of the Word.

The Bible says that if we hate people and hold them guilty and refuse to Forgive,

God will not listen to our prayers.

If we walk in forgiveness and receive Gods son, Jesus as our Saviour_ God will help us through poverty, trials, losses, illness, etc. We have to follow What the Bible teaches us. We can't reject things because of reasons we think are good ones.

It's scriptural to ask for what you NEED. A job, a better house, a vehicle, a marriage partner (flee sexual sins), favor with all people you daily deal with; help reading the Bible and understanding it.

From me: talk with God every day, all day long if you desire to do so. Talking and Praying. The angels put our words about God, in a Book of Remembrance. Malachi 3:16-18 And the Lord reads it.

Most people don't know this, but Satan can hurt people, cities, farmlands with rain, disasters. I truly believe one Christian on their face before a Holy God, can ask for a storm to change course. I've seen it happen. If we ASK and do not DOUBT, anything is possible. Don't brag. Worship God.

Communication happens between us and our Heavenly Father. He is praised by angels In Heaven_ but I believe our voices of praise can join theirs too.

Rather than spend all night worrying about my teenager; I prayed for God to send an Angel to keep them from harm and bad decisions. Remember to thank Him when they come home safe. :)

"Complacent" is an evil spirit, that tries to stop us from giving attention and love to God.

May we be quick to forgive and fast to bend a knee and thank God for his Mercy, Grace and Favor.

In Mal: 3:10 You have written that there might be meat in my storehouse. The word is mete, which means allotment or measure. A storehouse was a place where they stored crops from the harvest. It had nothing to do with mammon. That food was not just for the levites or priest either.

There were actually three different tithes also. The Families, widows, the orphans, and the poor and foreigners, were included in the tithes. Today it is mammon, mammon, mammon. Many churches today are not transparent. There has to be clarity about where God's money is going.

In Luke 6:38 many preachers and evangelist use that scripture to get people to give money. That scripture is not about money. It is about mercy. They tell the people not to take scripture out of context and yet do so themselves. I hope that was helpful.

All scientists seek to explain FOUR QUESTIONS: Time, Force, Action, Matter. (Even Steven Hawking)

I was reading in Genesis, the Holy Spirit stops me on verse 1. He said the 4 things

TIME: in the beginning__God set TIME ticking

FORCE: The Godhead created. (Father, The Word ( John 1:1) and Holy Spirit

ACTION: and the Spirit of God MOVED over

MATTER: earth, waters, atoms

God purposed, Word spoke: Light Be, and there was Light. (Purpose Spoke Light)

Carbon dating proves earth is around 2-3 billion years. SATAN was around but he's a created being. He cannot create dinosaurs, cavemen or anything other than chaos.

My personal theory is: Romans 1:19-20. God put the artifacts in earth for us to find; oil for our cars, coal to be warm, fresh water for us and salted water for creatures.

We have to pray for scientists to see the Book of Romans. It's an occupation, as is archaeology, bio science, medicine. We are without excuse if we refuse to acknowledge The Godhead.

I caution you, not to teach your ideas to Gods baby Christians.

There are many, many more scriptures all over the Bible about creation; not just in Genesis.

I think we're all going to be in heaven watching God restore earth to BEFORE mankind messed it up. 2 Peter 3; Malachi 4:1

I've always thought some of the best stories are in chronicles, Kings, Samuel__Nehemiah. There's lots in Jeremiah. We just can't seem to like ALL parts of the Bible. Revelation 22 is key.

I don't want to show up in heaven, and meet Habakkuk and have to say: "sorry man, I never got to your book" :/

See, if you teach that man existed before Adam; that's called OLD EARTH THEORY. It's heresy.

Let's all remember that Malachi 3:16-18. God has a Book of Remembrance that writes down what we think and say about Him. How wonderful to bless His Holy Name!

Hi Rick Mentzer;

It is true when you say today we give from the heart, but this is not the case when you are being told Malachi 3:8-10 God will curse you if you do not tithe. Why do people not understand that in Malachi, God wanted meat in his house, not money, as Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy all testify that tithing has nothing to do with money, it is always about fruits, vegetables and animals, and a man must eat his tithe with his wife, children, slaves, and a Levitical priest, once every year. The freedom you spoke of is an illusion for many who do not know the bible, that tithing was for Israel alone, and it was destroyed with all the other laws of Moses from the Old Testament. Now do I really care about tithing, no, I care about people not obeying one Old Testament law, otherwise they will be cursed to obey all the 613 laws from the Old Testament. Galatians 3:10 % Galatians 5:1-4

Jcbu I watch the news when deemed necessary and an aware of certain key events happening globally,

but i'm not buying that the son of perdition or the Antichrist or the tribulation times are happening now.

Is it building up without question but we the believers in the body of Christ making intercession is the only

thing from the enemy cutting loose in my scriptural understanding. Also scripturally 2 Thessalonians 2:12

that they all who believed not can't include the saints or believers in the Body of Christ.

God bless Rick do not know if you saw the 700 club report on youtube today with the CIA about China and the set up of crpto currency.Mark of the beast.When I saw it I thought of Jesus in Mathew 24:8 And these are the begining of sorrows.

Hi Donna.

Malachi 3:16. Then 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.

THEM THAT FEARED THE LORD AND

THAT THOUGHT UPON HIS NAME!!.

When you put it context with verses 1-15 you see the proud and wicked of Jacob "Israel" tempt God and think that they could get by with it.

Malachi 3:1-15.

Here in verse 16 I think you have a remnant that feared the LORD and thought/Considered the LORD in service.

16) Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it.....

And a book of remembrance was written of them.

FOR THEM THAT FEARED THE LORD, AND THAT THOUGHT UPON HIS NAME

God bless

You, "Google Malachi 3:16 Commentaries"

I like the "Bible study tools" link

God has a book of Remembrance in which it is recorded what believers talk about. Our conversations which each other will please, or be a displeasure.

It reminds ME to take control of what comes out of my mouth. Faith or Faithlessness; condemnation or prayer that situations will improve, if I be patient and wait on God, etc.

If I speak negative, I hear it with spiritual ears; and I counter that with truth and words of faith.

Angels are writing in the Book. Wouldn't it be great to read a book someone wrote about us_ saying and doing things that bless and do not curse?

Sometimes I am my worst critic.

o oo o o oo ooo oo Rick good morning you will have to read my comment to food factoids o o o o oo o to understand this o o o o if you would like to go to find our o o o will be in chat after reading Genisis 7-9 God bless

" book of remembrance " Malachi 3:16

The Bible actually has wisdom on foods and food preparation. Of course they didn't have refrigeration. The reason for some restrictions.

I feel sick watching someone eat a steak barely warm and real bloody, yuck.

I don't like over processed foods with too many additives. I make my own breads. Who wants bleach in their flour?

My old doc told me baking soda in water is safer than new stomach meds with their side effects.

The baking soda neutralizes acid and the stomach becomes more alkaline.

Adding a little table sugar to tomato sauces; gas producing vegetables (raw carrots, raw peppers), gets rid of the gas and bloating. I put a half tsp sugar in my ketchup.

Lemon water helps kidneys not make stones or gravel. Good for diabetics too.

My real real old doc (allergy doc) said anything that upsets your stomach badly, you are probably allergic to it. That way you can avoid skin testing for allergies.

Cinnamon toast is medicinal :D

Tim Again the word tribulation biblically is or represents mental or spiritual pressure which throughout history

all believers in God endured, but there's coming a time the tribulation period where the age of grace will end

and that time frame will not be pretty.

Tim Here's my question to you since in the Church Epistle Christians are called saints, I.E. separated by the spirit

of God made the righteousness of God in Christ. According to 1 Corinthians 15:51-54 we are going to be changed

in an instant and have incorruptible bodies like His. Also our sins are forgiven because of the payment of Jesus Christ.

In the book of Revelation the places where saints are mentioned is in reference to the ones separated by holiness and

all positive. We by Gods deliverance through Jesus Christ have been redeemed or bought back by God called to be His

sons and daughters and BORN AGAIN OF INCORRUPTiBLE SEED, His Word when we believed. Since the book of

revelation deals with Jesus Christ return to JUDGE mankind and condemn all unrighteousness the central theme is not

the Church of God. The opening in revelation says to his servants which is what Israel was called to serve God, we in the

church serve our brothers and sisters in Christ and mankind but out relationship spiritually is as sone and daughters. Just

stating the scripture.

Ok Rick went back to Revelation 3 about the churches that think they are clean Please Check it out as to our original thread.God bless keep the light on we never know when he is coming back for us! and Revelation 7:14

Yes I have read about this but God bless you for putting it on here.There are many things to be learned if you keep seeking as God has told us to.But beware of rabbit holes,and remember to take it to a intelligent debate.We try to get out everyday in the sunshine but had have to look out the window right now 40 below.Just saw a movie on youtube called the switch 1993 that may help people suffering from depression in a wheel chair paralyzied.Christian parents.true story.Back to your comment.Was feeling sick sneezy running nose diahreah.Took it to prayer online praise God then with God's guidance ,and wisdom hit it with everything learned.Here it is baking soda and water,frankensense,myyr,Natures shield,Zinc,neem leaf tablet.All glory to God praying this will help someone else with a viral infection in Jesus name.Amen Feeling much better now.

That's an interesting thought. I do believe I read that sunshine is the best way for our bodies to get Vitamin D. So getting outside and getting some sun and fresh air is definitely for our betterment. Thanks for reminding me as I sit in our home with snow on the ground for the past week. It is beginning to melt, so hopefully in a few days it will be gone and I can get back outside!

I read something last night about how sitting in sunshine as often as we can, is more powerful than high doses of D3 for immune health.

Blue light like PC's, cell phones reverses the good of real sunshine.

Something about red light from the sun is purer than red lights from lamps.

Tim Have no idea how this ties unto original subject matter so that being said God Bless.

Brother Rick 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth Faith,Hope,Charity,but the greatest of these is Charity.TL Christians do not follow the herd they follow the word.Mathew 4:4 And Jesus said it is written Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.TL I believe this means with God do everything you can to protect yourself ,and others in all ways allowed by God! Prayer

fasting,Masks, cleanliness ,frankensence,myrr,antiviral, antibacterial,plants that can heal, burnt toast for upset stomache.The list goes on but would like to see others join in as everyone has something to offer!Have started reading the bible again now with Mathew Henry 1710 comments and would like to see more people joining so we as a body can keep ourselves on the right path.Have not been feeling very well the last few day's so asked for prayer at online church ,and felt a touch from the spirit when I read the prayers.Which was wonderful! NOW I just have to put the armour on ,and move forward in the Holy Spirit to be a light to the lost.Let's keep growing ,asking,receiving,believing.God Bless to all who read this!

Tim The tribulation your speaking of in Romans 5:3 is the word [thlipsis or mental pressure] because of the

unbelief we are surrounded with in this world. Also God does not give us mental pressure this is our adversary

trying to set us up to draw us away from Gods Word and walking by the spirit.

Tim Legarie I've been a believer for 45 years and what my bible is telling me this is the beginning,

the only blockage that is stopping the adversary from so to speak cutting loose is that the born again

believers of the Body of Christ praying and interceding and carrying out the ministry of reconciliation

hasn't been taken out yet. When that happens what were seeing now is nothing compared to when

the tribulation or when the SON of Perdition rises up and cuts loose. There's a lot of things happening

against Christ but there is a difference between things against Christ and THE ANTI CHRIST biblically.

Rick I do believe we are saved from the wrath by our faith in the blood of Jesus for our sins.But not tribulation as all the apostles suffered for Christ and God refines us in the fire of many temptations we need prayer to work out our own salvation prayer with others for others and for ourself.In fear and trembling.If this is not tribulation ,and grooming for the mark of the beast to come what do you see it as? In my lifetime 63 years I have never seen anything that has ever resembled this world today!And the closeness of our Lord and saviour coming back soon!

Tim That is not the gathering together of the body of Christ spoken of in Thessalonians and Corinthians, because

no where do you read in the church epistles where the sun will be darkened and the moon won't give her light at

the time of the gathering together of the born again believers. What your reading is in the book of revelation where

Christ comes back in judgement of mankind. We the body of Christ have already been judged redeemed and made the righteousness of God In Christ. So therefore we are saved from the wrath to come.

Rick God bless Mathew 24:29-30 The church or the believers will be raised up after the tribulation is what the word of God says unless God takes us to heaven or sooner as a thief in the night keep your armour on and lamp filled for we really do not know when our time is! May God watch over you and guide your path in Jesus name amen.
