Healing in His wings

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. – Malachi 4.2-4

One of the last prophecies in the Old Testament is that the Sun of Righteousness would rise with ‘healing in His wings.’ It goes on the say that He will ‘tread down the wicked’ in His time.

It is the idea of healing, of course, that blesses me. This is so special because the residents of a broken world certainly need healing.  Sin’s curse has infected the world with the most terrible plague possible. It is has a 100% infection rate and it is 100% fatal. Man has no cure. The Law always fell short of curing sin.

But Messiah will come with healing in His wings. He has the only cure for sin. God loved the world so much that He gave the world is only Son that whoever believes will not perish from the curse of sin but have eternal life. It is by His stripes on the cross that He can bring healing.

Four hundred silent years are coming for Israel, but healing is on its way.
