"Christ is Coming"

Malachi 3:1 NIV “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.
Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the
covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.
2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears?
For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap.


Malachi is a Hebrew name meaning "my messenger" famously belonging to the last
Old Testament prophet who delivered God's final messages before a long silence,
calling Israel to repentance and foretelling the coming of the Messiah, Our Lord, Our Savior.

Christmas Day, which marks the culmination of the Advent season,
and the central Christ Candle on the Advent wreath is typically lit on this day to symbolize the birth
of Jesus, the Light of the World.

The prophecy here reveals the Christ Child that did come and also foretells the One who shall also return.
