the significance of the refinerā€™s fire and laundererā€™s soap in Malachi 3:2



Malachi 3:2, where the phrase refinerā€™s fire is used, has been a popular verse in Western society for centuries due to its use in Handelā€™s famous oratorio Messiah. The verse reads, ā€œBut who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refinerā€™s fire or a laundererā€™s soap.ā€ Letā€™s take a look at the prophetā€™s similes.



Malachi says that, when the Lord returns, no one will be able to stand before Him. The Lordā€™s holiness and judgment will be as a refinerā€™s blazing fire and as a fullerā€™s bleaching agent. The idea of ā€œstandingā€ before the Lord is associated with ā€œwithstandingā€ or ā€œstanding up toā€; sinful human flesh will not have the strength, the right, or the desire to resist the Lord in His glory (cf. Psalm 76:7; Revelation 6:17).



The two similes help clarify why no one will be able to stand in the Day of the Lord. First, Malachi 3:2 says the Messiah will be like a refinerā€™s fire, an allusion to the process of purifying metal. A refiner uses a fire to heat metal to a molten state; then he skims off the dross that floats to the top. The refinerā€™s fire is, of course, maintained at an extremely high temperature, and such a high degree of heat is the prophetā€™s picture of the testing people will face on Judgment Day. All judgment has been entrusted to the Son (John 5:22). Upon Christā€™s return, the intense flame of Godā€™s judgment will purify the earth, removing the dross of sin.



Second, the Messiah will be like a laundererā€™s soap. This type of soap was caustic and quite effective in producing bright white clothing. The HCSB translates it as ā€œcleansing lye.ā€ When Christ returns, He will cleanse the world of all impurity. Every stain of sin will be scrubbed away. The account of Jesusā€™ transfiguration contains a reference to His purity, using language similar to Malachiā€™s: ā€œHe was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach themā€ (Mark 9:2ā€“3).



The goal of Jesus will be to judge wickedness and purify His people: ā€œHe will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousnessā€ (Malachi 3:3). Like the refinerā€™s fire, He will burn away the impurities of the priests. Like laundererā€™s soap, He will wash away their uncleanness (Deuteronomy 4:29; Isaiah 1:25; Jeremiah 6:29ā€“30; Ezekiel 22:17ā€“22; Zechariah 3:5). The priests in the millennial kingdom will then be able to offer sacrifices from a pure heart. The sacrifices in those days will be similar to those when the temple was first built: ā€œThe offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former yearsā€ (Malachi 3:4).



The refinerā€™s fire and laundererā€™s soap indicate the holiness and burning judgment of the Messiah when He returns to reign in Jerusalem at His second coming. His purifying brightness and absolute holiness will affect those who serve Him, creating a cleansed temple and purified priesthood. ā€œSee, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies himā€ (Isaiah 40:10)

Can you believe this dude rsvp Quiz??? He makes the assumption 'churches' today ARE TO ' have no trouble honoring the stateā€™s God-given authority while also giving supreme allegiance to Godā€™s higher authority' even to CULT doctrine and manmade 'laws' over YHWH's LAW!? WOAH!!! Right Quiz? Or even the so called CULT SATANIC 'worship bands' or wanna be ROCK STARS like my little brother in his CULT church!!!



What a hallucination thread here of rsvp (heaveniscalling?) but he is not listening! Let alone him giving CONTEXT to the subject of the 'refinerā€™s fire' and WHO YHWH is coming back for and WHO He will destroy by the brightness (2 Thess. 2:8) of His SECOND coming (no not a CULT teaching secret rapture PAGAN teaching rsvp!). LOL!



Moon the verses you give of Acts 2:47 and Ephesians 4:11 have to do with the past beginning REAL Church and its history! This has NOTHING to do with the CULT 'churches' today that follow the HARLOT cathoholic ROMAN CULT 'church' that teaches to worship BAAL on SUN-day OR those who teach to worship the 'planet' SATURN on SATURN-day! OK? ALL organized religion today is controlled by the PAGAN Jesuits 'priests' as they call themselves, working behind the scene and so you will not hopefully notice! The HARLOT cathoholic ROMAN CULT 'church' is the talking head (on TV, news papers etc for the masses!), the parrot if you will of the ROMAN system and PAGAN ROME is ALIVE and well today! The REAL Churches today are underground (little flocks in homes), they have no taught 'pastors/teachers/evangelist' etc to control them with CULT taught doctrine. The brainwashed 'pastors/teachers/evangelist' etc today you can easily recognize (just as you can those in government) because they will be wearing the NOOSE (they are controlled, YOU SEE?) around their necks called the NECKTIE or 'cravatte' in French! STUUUUPID IDIOTS! LOL!



These 'pastors/teachers/evangelist' are taught to teach a certain kind of doctrine that is different from other denomination CULTS by the colleges, so to fight one another, creating distractions from discovering TRUTH of the Bible on their own! When these 'pastors/teachers/evangelist' etc 'graduate' in CULT doctrine, then they are OWNED by a paycheck when they are hired (as a business man for a business 'church' as Quiz correctly points out here!) to lead' (by satan ultimately!) that particular CULT church and its doctrines! If they stray from those doctrines they will be OUT OF WORK and no income for their families! You see!? These 'pastors/teachers/evangelist' etc are THEN OWNED!



Quiz, you are sooooo on track to the truth BUT you are NOT giving the bigger picture! OK? Its not all about the 501C3/pastor/CEO/ASSISTANT PASTOR/ Vice president/BOARD of DIRECTORS etc of the smoke and mirror show >>>BUT<<< WHO controls them and WHAT they teach! OK? Try to keep that in mind Quiz, when you do your INDEPENDANT research apart from all the CULTS! Its good you have COME OUT from those CULT teaching 'churches' like I did over 30 years ago and now belong in a 'little flock' as there are MANY out there in homes that cannot be controlled by the PAGAN Jesuits 'priests' and their controlled cemetery (seminary) colleges today!



Revelation 18:4 'And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, >>>Come out of her (todays CULT churches), my people<<<, that ye be not partakers of her (todays CULT churches) sins, and that ye receive not of her (todays CULT churches) plagues.



Which gets us back to rsvp CULT teaching of a 'secret rapture' (originally made up by the Jesuit run cathoholic RCC!) of the Church and how convenient is that teaching for rsvp, that the Church will not go through the Tribulation, the TEST, the 'refinerā€™s fire' JUST as LOT was TESTED and told to COME OUT of sodom and gomorrah! So was LOT and family (the Church) 'secretly raptured' like rsvp teaches??? And for that matter was NOAH (the Church) 'secretly raptured' OUT OF THE EARTH >before< or DURING the flood or was he tested and TOLD to build an ark and GET IN IT NOW and OBEYED! You see Quiz, rsvp and David have an OBEDIENCE problem and are not headed for the kingdom of heaven presently and its really sad that they are CONTROLLED by their CULT 'churches' but you are NOT Quiz, even though you are confused on Scripture many times of its CONTEXT to the Bible as a WHOLE, not just a chapter with some verses! OK?



Note also readers that Revelation 18:4 speaks of the CHURCH and rsvp says the Church is 'secretly raptured' out of the earth >before< the tribulation when he states in another thread (his CULT tales episode 22!) - 'millions of Christians that depart that are raptured prior to the Great tribulation' LOL!



But remember Quiz when you CORRECTLY stated to rsvp - 'Where did Messiah ever mention there was an escape clause from the TRIBULATION, in the Word, hmmmm. John 17, Messiah asked the Father NOT to take believers out of this world. The apostles never left this planet in some unknown rapture THEORY.'



GREAT TRUTHFUL POST QUIZ!!!



And even more so Quiz, my hat is of to you when you stated - The (so called) 'christians' (today) had better read the book (The Bible!) for themselves!' AMEN Quiz but rsvp and David, as well as the other forum 'trinity' of 'gods' Moon just cannot for some reason COME OUT of their CULT churches, now can they Quiz??? Very strange and very indoctrinated aren't they Quiz???



But back to the thread topic Quiz, in that rsvp the CULT teacher wants readers to believe in a FORCED 'refinerā€™s fire' of the Church AT THE ACTUAL APPEARING of Father YHWH with His original WORD, His Son He made flesh sitting on His right hand side (note the so called separate 'Spirit' and another 'god' that rsvp and David teach is NOT sitting on the Father's right hand side! Why?) to cleanse the Church, when the FACT is the Church is LOOOOONG ago CLEAN >>> BEFORE<<< His second coming (no secret rapture!) for His SINLESS saints!



Just like you said Quiz but rsvp tried to distract you when you said - 'About the so called 'church' thingy in Revelation, did you not read about the SAINTS in that book, who are the Saints!!!' Well said Quiz!



You see rsvp CULTLY believes the Church is not mentioned as being on earth after chapter 4 of Revelation and nothing could be further from the truth!

Evidence Revelation 18:4 for just ONE verse and THAT chapter!!!



For rsvp CULTLY states - 'the church is not found from revelation 4....' and on?



So Quiz and readers, if that is true, then WHAT witnesses does YHWH the Father have on earth and for what purpose would it be to 'secretly rapture' the Church then??? AGAIN was LOT and company 'raptured' from the earth??? Was NOAH during the TERRIBLE TRIBULATION of the FLOOD 'raptured' from the earth??? Obviously NOT!



So rsvp statement - 'Our momentary light affliction is producing for usā€¦gloryā€ (2 Cor. 4:17). Certainly the Great tribulation of God's wrath which he pours out at that time is not a light affliction!' is just not understood by rsvp because he does not understand (nor want too) CONTEXT of the entire Bible when it comes to WHO receives WRATH and WHO does not DURING TRIBULATION times!!! Right Quiz?



Note how rsvp does not understand and says 'the Great tribulation' is NOT a 'light affliction' BUT does not give a comparison to NOAH in like the TERRIBLE FLOOD that CERTAINLY ALSO WAS NOT A 'LIGHT AFFLICTION'!



Then rsvp ATTEMPTS to separate the special 144,000 and the two witnesses from the Church, as to claim two TIME periods of the second coming of Father YHWH with His WORD made flesh at that time??? Not hardly! GEESH, what an INDOCTRINATED LAD this rsvp is with his cathoholic taught 'god' of a 'secret rapture' ! Right Quiz?

The Lord God only has One church. The body of Christ is the Believers.

Iā€™m not surprised the Quiz and the TeddyBug are manifesting their heretical allegiances by aiding each other against the truth.

Kinda reminiscent of a period of time when other false teachers did the same thing. The Pharisees and Sadducess, who were formerly doctrinaire enemies, suddenly cooperated together to destroy Jesus.

Both Teddy and Quiz are fond of confidently stating their opinions as if their opinions are statements of fact.

Iā€™ve tried to explain the difference between a statement of fact and a statement containing an opinion to both these guysā€”but to no avail.

To Quiz and Teddy: A statement is simply not the same thing as a fact!

Just because an opinion can be expressed in the form of a statement doesnā€™t mean the statement is factual or fact based.

Dave, where have you been.



As i said, the so called 'church' does not exist in the Word of GOD Almighty.



Moon show where a person called 'pastor' leads the people.



We have a self appointed position called pastor/CEO



How about ASSISTANT PASTOR/ Vice president.



Hmm, worship leader, and band.



How about BOARD ELDERS( Actually they are BORED elders, as they sit under the self appointed pastor).



How about BOARD of DIRECTORS.



Last but not least the SHEEPLE, that actually work to support this man made BUSINESS.



Now let us look at the structure of a business.



CEO/ President of the company



Vice president of the company



Board of directors



Why is the so called 'church' a BUSINESS,in in order to take the 501C3 tax exempt status, that is given to Businesses to not pay taxes.



Yet, Messiah says to pay taxes.



Matthew 17 verses 24 - 27



24 And they having come to Capernaum, those collecting the didrachmas came to Peter and said, ā€œDoes your Teacher pay the didrachmas?ā€



25 He says, ā€œYes.ā€ And he having entered into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, ā€œWhat do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive custom or tribute? From their sons, or from strangers?ā€



26 And he having said, ā€œFrom the strangers,ā€ Jesus said to him, ā€œThen the sons are free. 27 But that we might not offend them, having gone to the sea, cast a hook and take the first fish having come up, and having opened its mouth, you will find a stater. Having taken that, give it to them for Me and yourself.ā€



Hmmm, the so called 'church' is a son of the state.



Then the people supposedly give, yet it is with a hook hidden inside called the Tax write off.



These violate what Messiah says.



Of course the so called 'christians' will have some lame excuse for this.

As an exercise in critical thinking*, please note Teddyā€™s post which is full of opinionated statements that are void of factual support and logic.

Please donā€™t be confused by the term ā€œcriticalā€.

*critical thinking, is simply the ability to analyze a situation or a statement in an objective manner and thus make a reasonably informed decision

Quiz, once again, the verses you quoted are out of context. Jesus, as a citizen, paid the required tax. Thereā€™s absolutely nothing, ā€œ0ā€, nada about the church paying taxes.

Dave, Messiah says come follow me. He paid tax for Himself and Peter, this shows He and Peter did not belong to the state.

You and your so called 'church' do not pay taxes, thus showing yourselves to be children of the state.

Dave, show in the Scriptures where the 501C3 Tax exempt BUSINESS called 'church' exists in the Scriptures.

Hebrews 10:25



not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
