Malachi 3:18
_ _ Then shall ye ... discern — Then shall ye see the falseness of your calumny against God’s government (Malachi 3:15), that the “proud” and wicked prosper. Do not judge before the time till My work is complete. It is in part to test your disposition to trust in God in spite of perplexing appearances, and in order to make your service less mercenary, that the present blended state is allowed; but at last all (“ye,” both godly and ungodly) shall see the eternal difference there really is “between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not” (Psalms 58:11).
_ _ return — Ye shall turn to a better state of mind on this point. |
Malachi 3:18
Ye — Ye contemners of God and religion, return to your reason, forced by the convincing power of God's judgments. Discern — Clearly see the happiness of the righteous, and your own misery, who perish in your wickedness. |
