The most explicit Scriptural allusion to a Day of Judgment is found in the Book of Malachi (3:19-23). It speaks of the retribution of the wrongful, of the rewarding of the righteous, and of the arrival of Elijah the prophet to announce it all.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019The day is coming, burning like a furnace, when all the proud and the evildoers will be (turned to) stubble; the day that is coming will set them ablaze\u2019, says the Lord of Hosts, \u2018and it will leave them neither root nor branch\u2019. \u2018But to you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will break out leaping, like calves released from the stall. You will trample the wicked, they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I take action,\u2019 says the Lord of Hosts. \u2018(So,) remember the Torah of Moses my servant, which I enjoined on him at (Mount) Horeb, (with) laws and rulings for all of Israel.\u2019 \u2018Look, I will send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible Day of God\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
