萬軍之耶和華說：“我要差遣我的使者在我前面預備道路。你們所尋求的主必忽然進入他的殿；立約的使者，就是你們所仰慕的，快要來到。”他來的日子，誰能當得起呢？他顯現的時候，誰能立得住呢？因為他如煉金之人的火，如漂布之人的鹼。
瑪拉基書 3:1-2
耶穌是鹼。祂是洗衣者在水裡踩踏衣服時使用的清潔成分。以色列人使用植物的灰燼作為肥皂。耶穌說……
你將被踐踏，你會被火煉，你會被潔凈，因為我與你同在，讓洗滌和燃燒，使你脫離那些把你束縛在地上的事，這樣你就真正渴慕我的國在一切之上……
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
