ý"THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!" By Pastor Robert Oliver
Malachi 3:17 says, “AND 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!”
Oh Glory to GOD, what an 'Awesome' Verse We Have to Glean today Beloved! Now, In 'Closing' out the Old Testament Canon, the "HOLY SPIRIT" uses the Pen of Malachi the Prophet, a 'contemporary' with Nehemiah, to 'Encourage' the People of GOD to 'Prepare' for the "COMING OF MESSIAH!" And We Must 'Realize' also, that the Actual Prophetic 'Fulfillment' of this Verse has Not 'YET' Been Fulfilled, But it "WILL BE!" So, Let’s Take a 'Closer' Look and See “8” Things Here that Demand our Attention:
First, Notice “WHO” is Being Spoken of here: He (The LORD) says, “AND THEY!” Now, if You are a 'Student' of Prophecy, You Know that “Context” is Critically 'Important' When it comes to Properly 'Identifying' the "Target" of the TEXT! And Clearly, in this 'Case' it is Quite 'Plain' from Reading the Book, Exactly “WHO” Malachi writes about, just look at vs 4, “THEN SHALL THE OFFERING 'OF' JUDAH AND 'JERUSALEM' BE PLEASANT UNTO THE LORD, AS IN THE DAYS OF OLD, AND AS IN THE 'FORMER' YEARS!” Alright, Listen Beloved, the 'Entire' Book of Malachi is Actually a "Discourse" Between 'GOD' and HIS PEOPLE “ISRAEL!” It’s a 'Series' of "Questions & Answers" Between 2 Parties: 'GOD', and the PHYSICAL 'SEED' OF ABRAHAM, ISRAEL! Verse 7 Speaks of “THE DAYS OF YOUR FATHERS” Indicating that ISRAEL’S "Founders" are Being Identified! HE'S Speaking to "ISRAEL!" Don't Let the "Replacement" Theologians 'Deceive' You!!!
But Secondly, Notice 'What' THEY “SHALL” BE: 'GOD' Says, “AND THEY 'SHALL' BE MINE!” Oh My Dearly Beloved Believer, Wow! Now, verse 13 Reveals “WHO” is Actually 'Speaking' all the way Down to verse 18, “THUS 'SAITH' THE LORD!!!” Listen, "GOD" says Here, that 'One' Day "ISRAEL" (National) 'Will' REPENT, and BECOME “HIS” POSSESSION!!! Did You 'Notice' the Word "MINE?" And Beloved, it is 'Equally' Important to Realize, that 'Anything' that Belongs to 'GOD' is PRECIOUS TO HIM, and "NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH!" This is why I 'Cringe' Every time I hear of another 'Betrayal' of ISRAEL by the United States Government! Listen Folks, We Need to Learn to "Cherish" What GOD Cherishes, and to "Protect" What GOD Protects, and to "LOVE" what GOD LOVES!!!
But Thirdly, Notice “WHO” Promises to Do this: He says, “AND THEY SHALL BE MINE, 'SAITH' THE LORD OF HOSTS!” Oh Glory! Don’t 'Miss' this Dear One! This Particular 'Title' for GOD is a "Military" Term! Listen, ALL THE "HOSTS" OF HEAVEN are "AT HIS DISPOSAL!!!" Beloved Our GOD IS A "WARRIOR", and HE HAS "NEVER LOST A BATTLE!!!" Moses Said in Exodus 15:3, “THE LORD 'IS' A MAN OF 'WAR', THE LORD 'IS' HIS NAME!!!” Elijah said in II Kings 6:16, “FEAR NOT: FOR 'THEY' THAT BE 'WITH' US ARE 'MORE' THAN THEY THAT BE WITH THEM!!!” JESUS Said in Matthew 26:53, "Thinkest thou that I 'cannot' now pray to my Father, and He shall presently 'give' me more than twelve 'Legions' of Angels?" Yes HE Could, Because HE is "THE LORD OF HOSTS!!!" Listen Now, OUR 'GOD' IS "EL SHADDAI", THE 'ALMIGHTY', and HE IS FULLY 'ABLE' TO "MAKE GOOD HIS WORD!!!"
But Fourthly, Notice “WHEN” This Will Occur: The Prophet writes, “AND THEY SHALL BE MINE, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, IN 'THAT' DAY!” Oh Glory! Here, Malachi, 'by' the HOLY SPIRIT, 'Points' his Reader to a COMING “DAY” Wherein “ISRAEL” Will BECOME GOD’S "OWN!" Now, Understand Beloved, that "THIS DAY" is No 'Ordinary' Day, Because WHEN “THIS” DAY COMES, "ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED!!!" This "DAY" is the Very 'Day' that THE "LORD GOD OF ISRAEL" HAS PATIENTLY 'WAITED' FOR NOW FOR OVER "6000 YEARS!" Listen, It "WILL COME" at the 'END' of Daniel’s '70th' Week, the "TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE!" He says, “IN 'THAT' DAY” Glorious Things 'Will' Occur, and IN 'THAT' DAY “FINALLY” ISRAEL WILL FULFILL 'HER' DESTINY AND "BECOME WHAT GOD ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR HER TO BE!!!"
But Fifthly, Notice “WHAT” HE will Do: Malachi writes, “AND THEY SHALL BE MINE, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, IN THAT DAY WHEN I 'MAKE UP' MY JEWELS!” What? Did You 'Hear' That? Listen Carefully now Brethren: 'JEWELS' are "PRECIOUS THINGS!" And 'GOD' Says Here, that "ISRAEL IS HIS JEWELS!" The 'Hebrew' Word here is “CEGULLAH!” It’s an 'Only Occurrence' and Literally Means “PECULIAR TREASURE!!!” Did You 'Hear' That? Listen, It 'Means' that “ISRAEL” is GOD’S “PECULIAR TREASURE!” Peculiar~ in that She is 'Unique', Different from 'all' others, and Treasure~ in that She is "PRECIOUS TO GOD!!!"
But Sixthly, Notice “WHAT” GOD Will Do: He says, “AND THEY SHALL BE MINE, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, IN THAT DAY 'WHEN' I MAKE UP MY JEWELS; AND I WILL 'SPARE' THEM!” Oh Me Oh My Beloved, I Hope You’re 'Listening' to the WORD today! Because Here, 'GOD' Promises to “SPARE” ISRAEL “IN THAT DAY!” Question: "WHAT" is ISRAEL Going to Be "SPARED FROM?" Answer: "UTTER ANNIHILATION BY ANTICHRIST!" Listen, 'When' Satan Attempts to "Exterminate" Every Living JEW 'During' the Last 42 Months of the Tribulation Period, He WILL BE "GREATLY DISSAPPOINTED!!!" Beloved, there’s an Incredible 'Passage' on the 2nd Advent in Joel chapter 2, where 'GOD', through HIS Prophet, 'Instructs' HIS PEOPLE ISRAEL, in Exactly "WHAT TO PRAY" in 'THAT' DAY: Watch, verse 17 says, “LET THE PRIESTS, THE 'MINISTERS' OF THE LORD, 'WEEP' BETWEEN THE PORCH AND THE ALTAR, AND LET THEM SAY, ‘SPARE’ THY PEOPLE, O LORD, AND GIVE NOT THINE 'HERITAGE' TO REPROACH, THAT THE 'HEATHEN' SHOULD RULE OVER THEM: WHEREFORE SHOULD 'THEY' SAY AMONG THE PEOPLE, WHERE IS 'THEIR' GOD?” Alright Listen, on the "1440th Day" of the Great Tribulation (Second Half) 'ISRAEL' Will SAY "THESE VERY WORDS" and SHE "WILL BE SPARED" as MESSIAH "COMES TO HER RESCUE!!!"
But Seventhly, Notice “HOW” GOD Will Spare ISRAEL: He says, “AND 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!” Oh I Hope Somebody’s Listening today! Listen to me Beloved, GOD 'Will' Have 'MERCY' on ISRAEL “BECAUSE” of HIS UNIQUE “RELATIONSHIP” With "ISRAEL!" Listen to this verse: Hosea 11:1, “WHEN ISRAEL WAS A 'CHILD' (Young in Her History), THEN I 'LOVED' HIM, AND CALLED MY ‘SON’ OUT OF EGYPT!” Did You 'Hear' That? Listen, "Spiritually", GOD Was the "FATHER" OF ISRAEL, and HE Has "NOT FORGOTTEN HIS UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP WITH HER!!!" Listen, "ISRAEL", Was GOD’S “TEMPLATE” to the World, to 'Show' that HE 'Desired' to Be "OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN!!!"
But Eighthly, Finally, Notice “HOW” GOD Views ISRAEL: He says, “AND 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!” Oh My What a Statement! Beloved, 'ISRAEL' is "NOT SERVING GOD TODAY", She is in 'UNBELIEF', but HE is Going to “COUNT” THEM “AS” HIS 'SERVANTS' IN THAT DAY!!! How 'Awesome' is OUR GOD Saints! Listen, HE Does the "SAME THING" For US! HE “ACCOUNTS” US “RIGHTEOUS” BY IMPUTATION “THROUGH” HIS SON!!! So My 'Word' to You today is this: "PRAY FOR ISRAEL, STAND UP FOR THE JEWS, BE A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS, AND SERVE OUR GREAT GOD & KING ‘TILL HE COMES!!!" Blessings to All, and Shalom.
