Malachi 4:5-6
Excerpted from: Turning the Hearts of the Fathers to the Children

God has always desired the loving personal relationship with His children. We should too. The last two verses of the Old Testament, starting in Malachi 4:5. Malachi is quoting the Lord of hosts.

The Lord of hosts says, I will send you. This is a prophecy written between 450 and 430 BC about a future event, and we know it to be about the last and greatest of the Old Testament prophets, at the very least, John the Baptist. In Luke 1:16 in the New Testament, the angel of the Lord, Gabriel, he who stands in the presence of God gives glad tidings to Zacharias about his coming son John the Baptist.

Restoration of familial relationships is highlighted as a critical component needed to avert the coming divine judgment.
