Malachi 4:6

Malachi 4:6

4 “Remember the ^aLaw of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With ^bthe statutes and judgments.

5 Behold, I will send you ^aElijah the prophet
^bBefore the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

6 And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and ^astrike the earth with ^ba curse.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Malachi 4:5

Matthew 1:1 >>

And he - John the Baptist. Shall turn the heart - There were at this time many great and unnatural divisions among the Jews, in which fathers studied mischief to their own children. Of the children - Undutiful children estranged from their fathers. With a curse - Which ends in utter destruction; leaving Jerusalem a desolate heap, and a perpetual monument of God's displeasure. Some observe, that the last word of the Old Testament is a curse: whereas the New Testament ends with a blessing, yea, the choicest of blessings, The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all! Amen.
