The LORD’s word: “Behold, I send my messenger”
길을 예비할 사자를 보내리라는 여호와의 말씀
Malachi 3:1–5: “Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me! The Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple. Behold, the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, is coming!” says the LORD of Armies. “But who can endure the day of his coming? And who will stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like launderers’ soap; and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to the LORD offerings in righteousness. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasant to the LORD as in the days of old and as in ancient years. I will come near to you to judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don’t fear me,” says the LORD of Armies. The text does not name the messenger, the Lord, or the messenger of the covenant of 3:1. The Korean Revised Version reads at 3:1 보라 내가 내 사자를 보내리니 그가 내 앞에서 길을 예비할 것이요 또 너희의 구하는바 주가 홀연히 그 전에 임하리니 곧 너희의 사모하는바 언약의 사자가 임할 것이라, with the sending in the future (보내리니).
