The confluence of world, national and religious events are all pointing to the coming fulfillment of several Old Testament prophesies. Of course, we know the Timing is up to the Father Himself, as Jesus said. But it is uncanny that several of America’s top bible teachers – from Drs Chuck Missler of Koinonia House to Chuck Swindoll have done or are now doing powerfully intentional series on the Book of Daniel. These two series, from completely different parts and backgrounds of the country, are weaving a piece of fabric which is hard to ignore.
For instance, it is hard to ignore armies and weapon systems lined up in the horrible and anti-semitic Arab countries, supplied by the great godless power from the north – Russia! It is hard to ignore the brutal moslem brotherhood, now firmly implanted as dictators in Egypt. It is hard to ignore their oppression of Coptic Christians there.
(It is also hard to ignore how the US government is ignoring the treatment of the Copts and other Christians persecuted and brutalized worldwide. This should lead us to pray more for our people, and put the rest in God’s capable Hands.)
While the Lord has led Missler and Swindoll to teach on the Book of Daniel, the soon to arise Babylon and more…The Lord has led me to Malachi 3 and 4, which we are going examine, vis a vis, the coming Judgment! Scripture explains Scripture and as we saw in the last post on the Sixth Seal, Malachi 3:1-3 is explained by Revelation 6:12-17! Now, I sense the Lord leading me now to put up verse 5, so I will leave Verse 4 of Malachi Chapter number 3 for our discussion of the ungodly doctrine of Replacement Theology!

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
In most Christian circles the term Salvation is the most widely used term you will here. It has to do with the very roots of the Bible. It is a term that would have never been coined in reference to eternal life had it not been for the fall of Adam and Eve into sin. When humanity was first created they were created beautifully perfect and complete in terms of a relationship to God and the creation around them. They were crowned with beauty and honor—the glory of all of God’s creation. Dominion was given to them over all things,
Gen. 1:26-30. Because of disobedience to a simple command of God they fell into a pit—a pit they needed pulled out of. This God did by symbolically taking the skin of an innocent animal and clothing them with it. These new threads are symbolic of what God does for every man, woman, and child that comes to Him to be “saved” and forgiven of sin—He clothes us with His righteous robe,
Is. 61:10;
Gen. 3:21;
2 Cor. 5:17,
21;
Is. 45:24;
1 Cor. 1:30. It is a beautiful picture of God’s love for us all.
But is that all there is to Christianity? Many believe so. If you are one that does then you probably have never heard of the “Fullness of Salvation,” “Fullness of God,” or the “Fullness of Christ.” (see
John 1:16;
Eph. 3:19,
4:13). These descriptive terms do not get tossed around too much but they really should be. In the Garden story above the problem of sin in the life of mankind began with disobedience. If therefore disobedience to God resulted in a separation then the opposite is also true. Obedience with faith can result in the life God originally created mankind to have being alive and working in you. It begins with Salvation-being obedient to the call of God on your heart to be saved and receiving Jesus as Savior and Lord,
John 1:12-13;
Rom. 10:9-10. From that point onward we are Christ’s and nothing can pluck us from His hand,
John 10:28-30. But the conception of eternal life does not end there; our life will proceed towards the “… the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;” as we live within the boundaries of the “Fullness of God!”
