Malachi 3:6
_ _ the Lord — Jehovah: a name implying His immutable faithfulness in fulfilling His promises: the covenant name of God to the Jews (Exodus 6:3), called here “the sons of Jacob,” in reference to God’s covenant with that patriarch.
_ _ I change not — Ye are mistaken in inferring that, because I have not yet executed judgment on the wicked, I am changed from what I once was, namely, a God of judgment.
_ _ therefore ye ... are not consumed — Ye yourselves being “not consumed,” as ye have long ago deserved, are a signal proof of My unchangeableness. Romans 11:29 : compare the whole chapter, in which God’s mercy in store for Israel is made wholly to flow from God’s unchanging faithfulness to His own covenant of love. So here, as is implied by the phrase “sons of Jacob” (Genesis 28:13; Genesis 35:12). They are spared because I am Jehovah, and they sons of Jacob; while I spare them, I will also punish them; and while I punish them, I will not wholly consume them. The unchangeableness of God is the sheet-anchor of the Church. The perseverance of the saints is guaranteed, not by their unchangeable love to God, but by His unchangeable love to them, and His eternal purpose and promise in Christ Jesus [Moore]. He upbraids their ingratitude that they turn His very long-suffering (Lamentations 3:22) into a ground for skeptical denial of His coming as a Judge at all (Psalms 50:1, Psalms 50:3, Psalms 50:4, Psalms 50:21; Ecclesiastes 8:11, Ecclesiastes 8:12; Isaiah 57:11; Romans 2:4-10). |
Malachi 3:6
I change not — I have an unchangeable hatred to sin: and my long suffering also changeth not, therefore you are not consumed in your sins. Not consumed — God is the same in his wisdom to order the rewards of good and bad in the fittest season, therefore neither the one nor the other are consumed, but preserved to the season appointed of God. |
Malachi 3:6
For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob (f) are not consumed.
(f) They murmured against God, because they did not see his help which was ever present to defend them: and therefore he accuses them of ingratitude, and shows that in that they are not daily consumed, it is a sign that he still defends them, and so his mercy towards them never changes. |
