WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE
Ken Trivette
Malachi 4:1-3
1. On 4 occasions, Malachi uses the word "behold."
Each time it is used to introduce Divine proclamations
(2:3, 3:1, 4:1, 4:5). The word calls attention to
something unique and is used to calls special
attention to what is about to be proclaimed. It is a
flashing light that says to watch out, pay careful
attention to what is being declared.
2. That which Malachi wants us to pay special

5. Malachi describes what that coming will be like for
both the sinner and the saint. Malachi says, "For,
behold, the day cometh." The emphasis is on the word
"day." He is not speaking of a 24-hour period. He is
speaking of an event that begins with the rapture of
