And thier words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them. The second woe is past. behold, the third woe is coming quickly. "Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, who you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of The covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, HE IS COMING says the lord of hosts"but who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For he is like a refiners fire and like launderers soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver ; He will purify the sons of Levi and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righeousness." Then the offering of judah and jerusalem will be pleasant to the Lord, as in the days of old, as in former years. And i will come near you for judgement; i will b a swift witness against sorcers, against adulterers, against perjurers, against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, and those who turn away an alien because they dont fear Me, says the lord of hosts.
