Malachi 3:1 The Coming of Yahweh

[YourWordIsTruth]

Malachi 3:1 The Coming of Yahweh

“Behold I sending messenger of Me and he will prepare Way before Me, and suddenly He will Come to temple of Him the Lord, Whom you seeking, and the Messenger of the Covenant, Whom you delighted behold Coming says Yahweh of Hosts” (Literal English from the Hebrew)

It is very clear from this passage in Malachi, which is a Prophecy of the Coming of Yahweh, as Spoken by Yahweh Himself.

The first “mălʼâk”, messenger, is none other than John the Baptist. As we read in Mark 1:1-4

“The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you: the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’” John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins”

The citation in this passage in Mark, is from two Prophecies in the Old Testament, on the Great Coming of Yahweh. The first is from the passage in Malachi 3:1, and the second, from Isaiah 40:3-5:

“The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain. Yahweh’s glory shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.”
In both passages, we have The Speaker as Yahweh Himself, Who Speaks of His own Coming.

The second “mălʼâk”, we have in Malachi 3:1, is “The Messenger of the Covenant”, Who is also “The Lord (hā•’ā•ḏō•wn)”, Jesus Christ.

The Way prepared by John the Baptist, is for the Coming of Yahweh Himself, Who is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. The Four Gospel Accounts are very clear, that the passage in Isaiah, is fulfilled in the First Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is also The Coming of ʼĕlôhîym.

It is abundantly clear from the actual Testimony of Scripture, that The Coming of Jesus Christ, is the fulfilment of Old Testament Prophecy, for The Coming of Yahweh.

It is beyond comprehension, how some would argue, that Jesus Christ is in any way “inferior” to God the Father, and not Almighty God? The Testimony from the very Word of God, in the Holy Bible, clearly Teaches, that God the Son, Himself Yahweh, was the Person Who Came, Who was Born of the Virgin Mary.

There is not a single verse in the entire 66 Books of the Holy Bible, that says, God the Father ever came to earth!

Both passages of Prophecy in the Old Testament, are literally fulfilled in The Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ.

We have in Malachi and Isaiah, Jesus Christ as referred to as Yahweh and ʼĕlôhîym, which is impossible to be used for a created person, or anyone who is not Almighty God. The Name Yahweh means the Uncreated, Eternal, Self-Existing, Creator God.

Anyone who will still believe in the heresy, that Jesus Christ is a created person, and not coequal with God the Father, especially when the Bible Teaches that He is, has been deceived by the father of lies, the devil!

No other conclusion can be arrived at, from the Testimony of Scripture, as we see, that Jesus Christ is indeed Himself, YHWH, and therefore 100% COEQUAL with God the Father, in the Eternal Godhead.

very simple.

The Holy Bible Which is The Word of God to the human race, is clear in Genesis 1:1, that

In the beginning God Created the heavens and earth", which is the entire universe

In other words, you believe it because someone wrote it in a book.

There is no alternative to this, as so called "evolution" has been debunked many times!!!

Care to elaborate?

No part of Creation has nor ever been disproved as recorded in the Holy Bible.

The so called "big bang theory" of Evolution, is rather foolish, as it never explains where what BANGED came from? WHERE did the very first, atom, or element or whatever you may call it, come from? WHAT developed from one thing to another?

Evolution teaches that species change from one to another, like humans changed from apes into humans! YET, there is not ONE single shred of any evidence, especially in the fossil records, that shows any transactions!

The Bible is very clear, IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED everything that is seen and unseen, the entire universe

There is NO solid evidence from "science" that has ever been provided, that can show the beginning of all things, apart from the God of the Holy Bible!

Without the God of the Holy Bible, and the Teachings of the Holy Bible, in its 66 Books, can an explanation be given, for the MORAL LAW. WHERE, apart from the Holy Bible, does it say that murder, adultery, homosexuality, incest, fornication, theft, kidnapping, physical abuse of others, etc, etc, is sinful and wrong? There is no place other than the Teachings of the Holy Bible, that we see all of this, and much more, that is defined as the MORAL LAW, which has been adopted in the human laws for every society in every country around the world! You cannot account for MORALITY without the Holy Bible!

We don't have to know exactly how it happened to observe the evidence that it did happen. Galaxies can be seen receding from each other, indicating that they proceeded from a common point.

Not quite. The theory of evolution holds that apes and humans, which are all modern species, descended from a common ancestor.

YET, there is not ONE single shred of any evidence, especially in the fossil records, that shows any transactions!

Even your fellow Christians disagree with you on that:

The "Golden Rule" is featured in every major religion and philosophy, including those older than the Bible. The Code of Hammurabi, for example, predates the book of Genesis by centuries. (As for same-sex attraction being sinful, that can be argued to belong more in the catagory of "prejudice". "Fornication" is also open to debate.)

NOTHING of what you quote tells you that adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality, murder, theft, kidnapping is WRONG and SINFUL!!!

You simply cannot admit that you are WRONG on this, and that the God of the Holy Bible is 100% RIGHT!!!

Please continue to respond here, viewtopic.php?t=40221

as this thread is on the Deity of Jesus Christ

Nothing you are saying proves that same-sex attraction or extramarital sex between consenting adults is wrong or sinful, and certainly not that they're on the level of murder, theft and kidnapping.

You simply cannot admit that you are WRONG on this, and that the God of the Holy Bible is 100% RIGHT!!!

Maybe you can't admit that there is morality outside the Bible.

how so? Evolution is a MYTH and believed by those who are fools?

Evolution removes God, and the Bible says "The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good" (Psalm 14:1)

Truth is Truth, and can offend some
