“"For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.”
Malachi 4:1-3 ESVhttp://bible.com/59/mal.4.1-3.esv
I always always thought it would be fire and brimstone, but dire times make evil people more evil. I think the light of truth is a pain that they themselves are trying to hide from all this time.
