alachi 4:2: "But to 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." In Malachi, the last book of the Old Testament, God distinguishes between His promises for the wicked and those for the righteous. Our God is a consuming fire, and those who reject His gift of salvation will not be able to stand against His eternal judgment and will face burning fire. This action is likened to a farmer burning off his field after he has harvested his grain. The destructive fire swiftly consumes with excessive heat that destroys the roots totally. This provides a vivid picture of the fire of hell that is awaiting all those who refuse to repent.

heat of 'That Day.' When we are willing to respond to God's correction, He promises to protect us from the upcoming wrath. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus; Romans 8:1 says, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” He died to set us free; John 8:36 reads, “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” Those who follow God are healed and set free. Those who do not belong to Jesus will be completely consumed. That day, which to the wicked will burn as an oven, will to the righteous be bright as the morning. Christ gave the Spirit to those who are His, to shine in their hearts, to be a Comforter to them, a Sun and a Shield. Psalm 84:11 says, "The Lord God is a sun and a shield."
