And the day which is coming shall burn them up "the Sun of Righteousness shall arise. With healing in his wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall fed calves." • Malachi presents a contrast. The wicked are consumed by the heat. The righteous received healing from the same source of heat.

Apart from Christ there is no light at all.LHU221

  15. Rejecting light • "Everything that can be done, should be done, to place ourselves and our children where we shall not see the iniquity that is practiced in the world. We should carefully guard the sight of our eyes and the hearing of our ears, so that these awful things shall not enter our minds. When the daily newspaper comes into the house, I feel as if I wanted to hide it, that the ridiculous, sensational things in it may not be seen. It seems as if the enemy is at the foundation of the publishing of many things that appear in the newspapers. Every sinful thing that can be found is uncovered and laid bare before the world." 3SM211
