Good news for those who fear his name
“But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall.”
Malachi 4:2 NASB1995

Number 4 of Malachi‘s “my name is feared among the nations” except among my people.
God has laid out several times when His own people don't fear His name and has pronounced His judgment on them.
“For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,” says the Lord of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.”
Malachi 4:1 NASB1995

The arrogant will not find nourishment at His altar. The evildoer will not turn around from their evil ways and will not give back to God what is His anyway. And they will face the burning fire of God’s judgment. But as always with God there is hope. We don't have to be the arrogant evildoer! We can be the ones who do fear His name and enjoy His healing and joy.
The time of the Gentiles (non-Jews) is coming to a close. God is getting ready to do something that will cause the Nation of Israel (the true Hebrews) to recognize Him as their Messiah. Then His family will be complete and those who will not be humble at the altar will be humiliated in His presence.
“Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people, producing the fruit of it. And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”
Matthew 21:43-44 NASB1995

Right now we have a choice to fall on the stone that was broken off or wait and let it fall on us.
“You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.”
Daniel 2:34 NASB1995
