GOD'S TREASURED POSSESSION

(Malachi 3:16-17)

16 THEN THOSE WHO FEARED THE LORD

TALKED WITH EACH OTHER,

And the Lord listened and heard.

A scroll of remembrance was written in His Presence

Concerning those who Feared the Lord

And honored His Name.

17 'THEY WILL BE MINE,'

Says the Lord Almighty,

'IN THE DAY

WHEN I MAKE UP MY TREASURED POSSESSION.

I will spare them,

Just as in compassion a man spares his son

Who serves him.

18 And you will again see the Distinction

Between the Righteous and the Wicked,

Between those who Serve God

And those who Do Not.'

(Malachi 3:16-17)

God has a Treasured Possession;

The Elect—Appointed to Salvation before Time began;

Those who Fear and Love the Lord;

Those whose names

Are Written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

All the rest, in this Last of the Last Day of Time,

Are those who Refuse to Love the Truth;

Those who will worship the son of Satan

The Beast of Revelation, the Antichrist,

Damning themselves to and Eternal Hell.

(Revelation 13)
