Malachi 4:1-6 are Jehovah's last words to His people before the four hundred years of divine silence.
When God is silent, strangely silent and there is a seemingly endless void between you and Him, turn to Him in faith and cling to His promises.
"I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope" (Psalm 130: 4; ASV).

The Last Verse of Hosea
Hosea 14:9; NKJV
Who is wise?
Let him understand these things.
Who is prudent?
Let him know them.
For the ways of the Lord are right;
The righteous walk in them,
But transgressors stumble in them.
Jehovah is still looking for wise folks who will understand His will. Prudent people who will know that the ways of Jehovah are right and who choose to walk in them.
Be wise and understand the will of the Lord (Ephesians 5:17).
Walk in His truth and love (2 John 4-6)

Hosea 13:14; NKJV

He Will Help Us Repent
"So you, by the help of your God, return; Observe mercy and justice, And wait on your God continually." (Hosea 12:6; NKJV)
When we sin against God He calls us to repent. Sometimes repentance is hard. Hosea helped Gomer repent (see Hosea 3). Jehovah promises to help us.
"...and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come." (1 Thessalonians 1:10; NKJV)

The Difference Between Gomer and Israel
Gomer was willing to repent when Hosea offered her forgiveness.
Israel was unwilling to repent when Jehovah offered her forgiveness.
"He shall not return to the land of Egypt; But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent" (Hosea 11:5; NKJV).
Be willing to receive the forgiveness that Jesus offers at Calvary: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!" (Matthew 23:37; NKJV)

A Divided Heart
"Their heart is divided; Now they are held guilty. He will break down their altars; He will ruin their sacred pillars." (Hosea 10:2; NKJV)
Jehovah would have us love Him with a single heart. Their can be no divided loyalties. We must love Him and Him alone in order to glorify Him and Him alone.
"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." (Matthew 6:24; NKJV)
