The Day of the Lord on a nation is its just judgment by God: a nation's full accountability to the just and loving God for the nation's sins throughout its history. In the Bible, the Day of the Lord refers to God's just judgment of a nation far more often than to Jesus' return to earth (which also is a good meaning). The Bible shows many examples of His judgment of ancient nations as whole units. National judgments have continued through the centuries after Biblical times, but have become especially common in the last 80 years as nation after nation has come under atheistic communism or another dominating spiritual darkness. As with individuals, a nation that has sinned badly can be justly blessed by joining itself to the Lord Jesus and receiving His sacrifice for sinful mankind. This little book is written to show this vital picture in the Bible, so that believers in Jesus will turn to Him and hear Him accurately.

The Day of the Lord on a nation is its just judgment by God: a nation's full accountability to the just and loving God for the nation's sins throughout its history. The Bible shows many examples of God's just judgment of ancient nations as whole units.

As with individuals, a nation that has sinned badly can be justly blessed by joining itself to the Lord Jesus and receiving His sacrifice for sinful mankind. For a nation to receive this blessing, believers in Jesus need to help the people in their land to want Jesus in their hearts and lives. This little book shows all of this and more.

In this book we see how Malachi describes the spiritual illness in the U.S. and certain other materially "developed" nations today. The symptoms reveal their obvious cause. Malachi goes further to reveal the often unseen source of the obvious cause. This is like the unseen flu virus or malaria parasite causing an illness, which can be an obvious cause of chills, fever, muscle aches, and more. Malachi establishes all of this for the spiritual illness today, and then shows God's cure for this otherwise incurable spiritual illness. Malachi also shows what God's people need to do to move into and become a part of His cure for these nations.

A Christianity with little of Christ for generations causes a nation to become like Judah in Malachi. This includes the U.S. Many people here have hearts hardened against the true God and His words to us. Malachi shows that God is preparing His faithful people, so that at the right time He will release them mightily as He did Jesus in Judea. This will heal the hardened hearts of many people who have not yet really tasted God's goodness in Jesus. God has made a way in Christ to rescue the U.S. from heading toward certain destruction into becoming Jesus' national disciple. Malachi helps us to see God's work in His people in the U.S. or other nation that is like Judah while the nation keeps corrupting itself. Then God's sudden release of His prepared people with great power and healing changes everything! (A note: readers not in the U.S. might prefer the book with the same title and a subtitle "Western Europe").

A Christianity with little of Christ for generations causes a nation to become like Judah in Malachi. This includes nations in Western Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S. Many people in all these nations have hearts hardened against the true God and His words to us. Malachi shows that God is preparing His faithful people, so that at the right time He will release them mightily as He did Jesus in Judea. This will heal the hardened hearts of many people who have not yet really tasted God's goodness in Jesus. God has made a way in Christ to rescue each of these nations from heading toward certain destruction into becoming Jesus' national disciple. Malachi helps us to see God's work in His people in any of these nations like Judah while the nation keeps corrupting itself. Then God's sudden release of His prepared people with great power and healing changes everything!
