PEACE for Mankind ~ ADVENT 2025 ~ Victory in MESSIAH+ JESUS, The Only Source of PEACE for Mankind

 

 <(((><

 

Behold, I will send My messenger,

and he shall prepare the way before ME:

and THE LORD+, WHOM+ ye seek,

shall suddenly come to HIS+ Temple,

even the MESSENGER+ of the Covenant,

WHOM+ ye delight in:

behold, HE+ shall come,

Saith the LORD of hosts.^{MALACHI 3:1}

 

But who may abide the day of HIS+ Coming?

and who shall stand when HE+ appeareth?

for HE+ is like a refiner's fire,

and like fullers' soap:^{MALACHI 3:2}

 

And HE+ shall sit as a Refiner and Purifier of silver:

and HE+ shall purify the sons of Levi,

and purge them as gold and silver,

that they may offer unto THE LORD

an offering in righteousness.^{MALACHI 3:3}

Did the Birth of JESUS CHRIST bring The MESSIAH+ “suddenly to HIS+ Temple” , as the Prophet Malachi states?

YES.

Who in Bethlehem was expecting The MESSIAH+ ?

No-one.

There was not even a little room set aside in a humble inn for the birth of The Long-Awaited, Long-Promised MESSIAH+ of Israel. 

Who in Jerusalem was expecting The MESSIAH+ to appear in the Temple in Jerusalem for HIS+ consecration to THE LORD GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ?

Only two are recorded:

The Righteous and Devout Simeon and the Ancient Prophetess Anna. [  See Luke 2 ]

Interestingly, this verse in Malachi 3:1 can be understood in 3 ways.

        The FIRST:  the sudden arrival of the MESSIAH+ JESUS CHRIST at HIS+ Birth … which none knew about UNTIL it was announced to them.

        The SECOND: The two times The LORD JESUS appeared in the TEMPLE , using a whip to cleanse the Temple of its sacrilegious marketplace. No-one knew HE+ was coming then, either, until HIS+ Righteous Wrath cleansed the Temple of ALL merchandising.

        The THIRD: The Sudden Return of JESUS CHRIST to planet earth to Rule with a Rod of Iron. 

But who may abide the day of HIS+ Coming?

and who shall stand when HE+ appeareth?

for HE+ is like a refiner's fire,

and like fullers' soap:^{MALACHI 3:2}

And THAT THIRD reference is the Winner !

It wins due to the context of the verses around it.

We will have the PEACE Promised here on earth when The Glorified LORD JESUS CHRIST returns to Rule and Reign with a Rod of Iron . . . no longer as a LAMB+ but as

the LION+ of the Tribe of Judah.

Who is going to rejoice then ?

All the Resurrected Saints who followed the LAMB+ wherever HE+ goes … and the earth-bound Saints who have been caught up to meet The LORD JESUS as HE+ returns to Rule with a Rod of Iron.

Who is NOT going to rejoice ?

Those who have been the enemies of JESUS CHRIST and who are yet alive, living under the Rule of HIS+ Rod of Iron. There will be NO escaping from THAT Rod.

YES, this is THE PEACE PROMISED to planet earth. It is coming !

Worthy is The LAMB+ !
