万军之耶和华说：“我要差遣我的使者在我前面预备道路。你们所寻求的主必忽然进入他的殿；立约的使者，就是你们所仰慕的，快要来到。”他来的日子，谁能当得起呢？他显现的时候，谁能立得住呢？因为他如炼金之人的火，如漂布之人的碱。
玛拉基书 3:1-2
耶稣是碱。祂是洗衣者在水里踩踏衣服时使用的清洁成分。以色列人使用植物的灰烬作为肥皂。耶稣说……
你将被践踏，你会被火炼，你会被洁净，因为我与你同在，让洗涤和燃烧，使你脱离那些把你束缚在地上的事，这样你就真正渴慕我的国在一切之上……
1015 JESUS is SOAP
JESUS is SOAP. He is the cleansing ingredient which the laundry man uses as he tramples the clothes in water. The Israelites used the ashes of a plant as soap. JESUS says…
You will be trampled. You will be put through fire. You will be made clean because I am with you to cause the washing and the burning to set you free from things binding you to earth, so that you truly desire My Kingdom above all else…
“BEHOLD, I am going to send My messenger and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,” says the Lord of host. “But who can endure the day of His coming? …For He is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap.”
Malachi 3:1-2
