is making a reference to Malachi 3.1 and following texts, which is quoted in Hebrews, in Matthew 11.10, so that he’s not only a prophet, but the object of prophecy. Now, that’s really something. He’s not only a prophet, but he’s the object of prophecy, and he is this as the way

what we might call modernist or biblicist anthropomorphism, where if the creature acts and behaves in a certain way, then God has to act and behave in that exact way. James 1.17 is very useful, especially in conjunction with Malachi 3.6. Malachi 3.6, I, the Lord of the covenant, do not change. There

Malachi 3:6 · Camden Bucey

Well, I think also a biblicistic approach, as you say, me and my Bible, of certain varieties is also not just misguided, but it’s selective because you just mentioned James 1.17, Malachi 3.6, if I’m not mistaken, if I recall correctly, but now the one that’s on tap for us today looking at the prophe

barred from either the human or avian or animal world, the extension of the feathers bringing people to himself on eagle’s wings, all of that really boils down to the fact that the scriptures are clear in the light of texts like Malachi 3.6 and James 1.17, texts that we’ve mentioned on this program

change, no diminution. He doesn’t increase or decrease in his glory. And that is so critical because in our religion, Malachi 3.6 is so important. If God changes, I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you sons of Jacob are not consumed. That’s what confers on us

Malachi 3:6 · Carlton Wynne

Malachi 3.6, I, the Lord, do not change, therefore you’re not consumed. And just to dovetail back on hymns, some of our hymns have wonderful statements of the implications of divine immutability. Like, great is thy faithfulness is a huge one. Like, thou changest not. Thy compassions, they change. Ye

processions, internal to the being of God, but especially when we think about the missions of God in relation to creation. And I’ll just point out two things from the text that Van Til uses. Malachi 3.6, and there’s a little typo in the original. It’s James 1.7, but we would all know that it’s James

Malachi 3:6 · Lane G. Tipton

and then we can elaborate on it. Malachi 3.6 says this, I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you sons of Jacob are not consumed. What’s the point? The point is that a covenantal God is not one who has taken accidental, mutable, contingent properties to himself, submerged himself into the historica

Malachi 3:6 · Carlton Wynne

To put it negatively, what do you think about this? I love how he puts it, God does not change, cannot change, since there is nothing besides his own eternal being on which he depends. It seems to me Van Til would have to say, negatively, were God to depend upon something besides his own being, in l

Malachi 3:6 · Lane G. Tipton

And all that image is designed to invoke or evoke in biblical categories is something solid and immovable and steady and intrinsically reliable. Something that’s not going to change. And so it’s a deeply, the holiness of God, very similar to what we said earlier about immutability from Malachi 3.6.

Malachi 3:6 · Lane G. Tipton

Yeah, and I’ll just note this because we’ve looked at it before. This is, in one sense, a kind of companion text to the Malachi 3.6 text. I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you sons of Jacob shall not be consumed. Here, are you not from everlasting? O Lord, my God, my Holy One, we shall not die.

Malachi 3:6 · Lane G. Tipton

So Malachi 3.6, the immutable, I say God, remains such in his relation to us. And that is our hope. But yeah, your heartstrings, pastoral point, you are right on. Yeah, I misspoke. It’s so—

Malachi 3:6 · Camden Bucey

Well, you look at the words of Malachi 3.6, I, the Lord, do not change, therefore you’re not consumed. I mean, that’s not just applicable to Malachi’s situation. And it’s not only applicable to a very narrow sliver of what God promises according to his covenant. It’s not like, well, I don’t change a

Malachi 3:6 · Lane G. Tipton

And if people are saying, okay, give me the pastoral upshot of this. Glad you asked. Okay. In Exodus 3.14 and in Malachi 3.6, what is the point? Well, it’s this. Moses, you’ve taken off your shoes, you’re on holy ground, you’re in a space that is made holy by my transcendent and now imminent presenc
