The "fear of the Lord" is a recurring theme in Scripture, emphasizing a relationship based on reverence and obedience (<a href="/proverbs/1-7.htm">Proverbs 1:7</a>). This fear is not terror but a deep respect and acknowledgment of God's holiness and authority. It is a call to live in accordance with God's commandments, reflecting a heart aligned with His will.the sun of righteousness will rise The "sun of righteousness" is a metaphorical expression symbolizing the coming of divine justice and salvation. In the ancient Near East, the sun was often associated with deities and seen as a source of life and light. Here, it represents the Messiah, bringing righteousness and justice. This imagery connects to prophecies of the coming of Christ, who is seen as the light of the world (<a href="/john/8-12.htm">John 8:12</a>). The rising sun signifies a new beginning, the dawn of a new era of righteousness.with healing in its wings The phrase "healing in its wings" suggests restoration and wholeness. In Hebrew, the word for "wings" can also mean "edges" or "corners," possibly referring to the fringes of a garment, as seen in the story of the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment and was healed (<a href="/matthew/9-20.htm">Matthew 9:20-22</a>). This healing is comprehensive, addressing both physical and spiritual ailments, and is a promise of the Messiah's restorative power.and you will go out and leap like calves from the stall This imagery of calves leaping from the stall conveys joy, freedom, and vitality. It reflects the exuberance and liberation experienced by those who are redeemed and restored. In an agrarian society, the release of calves from confinement to open pastures symbolizes a transition from restriction to freedom. This joy parallels the spiritual freedom found in Christ, as believers are liberated from the bondage of sin and death (<a href="/romans/8-21.htm">Romans 8:21</a>). The imagery underscores the transformative impact of the Messiah's coming, bringing life and joy to those who fear the Lord.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/m/malachi.htm">Malachi</a> The prophet who delivered God's message to the Israelites, calling them to repentance and faithfulness. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_fearful.htm">The Fearful</a> Those who revere and respect God's name, living in awe and obedience to Him. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_sun_of_righteousness.htm">The Sun of Righteousness</a> A metaphorical representation of God's righteousness and justice, often interpreted as a messianic prophecy pointing to Jesus Christ. 4. <a href="/topical/h/healing_in_its_wings.htm">Healing in its Wings</a> Symbolizes the restoration and wholeness that comes from God's presence and intervention. 5. <a href="/topical/c/calves_from_the_stall.htm">Calves from the Stall</a> Represents joy, freedom, and the exuberance of those who experience God's deliverance and blessing.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/r/reverence_for_god's_name.htm">Reverence for God's Name</a> Emphasize the importance of fearing the Lord, which involves a deep respect and awe for His holiness and authority. <a href="/topical/m/messianic_fulfillment.htm">Messianic Fulfillment</a> Recognize Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of the "sun of righteousness," bringing spiritual healing and salvation. <a href="/topical/e/experiencing_god's_healing.htm">Experiencing God's Healing</a> Encourage believers to seek God's healing in all areas of life, trusting in His power to restore and renew. <a href="/topical/j/joyful_freedom_in_christ.htm">Joyful Freedom in Christ</a> Highlight the joy and freedom that come from living in the light of God's righteousness, akin to the leaping calves. <a href="/topical/l/living_in_expectation.htm">Living in Expectation</a> Live with the expectation of God's continued work in our lives, bringing light and healing as we walk in His ways.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_malachi_4.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Malachi 4</a> <a href="/q/how_does_malachi_4_2's_sun_heal_people.htm">How does Malachi 4:2’s “Sun of righteousness” physically heal people, considering the sun’s harmful effects on human health? </a> <a href="/q/what_does_'healing_in_his_wings'_mean.htm">What does "Healing in His Wings" signify?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_'sun_of_righteousness'_mean.htm">What does "Sun of Righteousness" mean?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_the_global_methodist_church.htm">What does 'Healing in His Wings' signify?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/malachi/4.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(2) As the rising sun diffuses light and heat, so that all that is healthy in nature revives and lifts up its head, while plants that have no depth of root are scorched up and wither away, so the advent of the reign of righteousness, which will reward the good and the wicked, each according to his deserts, will dissipate all darkness of doubt, and heal all the wounds which the apparent injustice of the conduct of affairs has inflicted on the hearts of the righteous.Wings.--Figurative for rays. The fathers and early commentators have understood Christ by the Sun of Righteousness, and they are so far right that it is the period of His advent that is referred to; but there can be no personal reference to Him in the expression, since "sun" is feminine in Hebrew; and the literal rendering of the word translated "in his wings" is "in her wings."Grow up.--Better, prance, or sport.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/malachi/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 2. - The Sun of Righteousness. The sun which is righteousness, in whose wings, that is, rays, are healing and salvation. This Divine righteousness shall beam upon them that fear the Name of God, flooding them with joy and light, healing all wounds, tee moving all miseries, making them incalculably blessed. The Fathers generally apply the title of "Sun of Righteousness" to Christ, who is the Source of all justification and enlightenment and happiness, and who is called (<a href="/jeremiah/23-6.htm">Jeremiah 23:6</a>), "The Lord our Righteousness." Grow up; rather, gambol; σκιρτήσετε (Septuagint); salietis (Vulgate). "Ye shall leap!" comp. Jeremiah h 11). The word is used of a horse galloping (Habbakuk 1:8).
