2023 Will Officially Be the Hottest Year on Record, Scientists Say
(announced on or around 7 December 2023 – start (first evening) of Hannukah
A new report from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) indicates that 2023 will be the warmest year in recorded history. The graphs show clearly just how much 2023 stands out as the warmest year!! Interestingly, this was announced on 7 December 2023 – before the end of the year! It was released during the COP28 Conference (2023 UN Climate Change Conference) in Dubai. This day (7.12.23) was a rest day at COP28 – if you add e, this becomes RESET day!
Malachi Chapter 4 (the last chapter of the old Testament) begins as follows: For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven!! Could this natural weather warming (warning?) be a sign that the Day of the Lord, with the fulfilment of an avalanche of prophecies (including the Rapture) be imminent? Very much time to look up! I have copied below a letter, titled The Imminent Day of the Lord) posted to Five Doves on 22 August 2021. This highlights Malachi Chapter 4. On Friday night we had an unexpected storm that knocked power out for more than an hour (very unusual for us). Denis in Canberra! Maranatha!!

The Imminent Day of the Lord
(Through crisis to the Day of the Lord!!)
Malachi chapter four is the last chapter in the Old Testament and provides an overview of the (imminent) Day of the Lord. The chapter starts with an astonishing prophecy of God's judgment on the wicked and then an equally astonishing prophecy of victory for His saints!!! I had written an earlier letter on Malachi 4 (23 February 2013 link below). I have presented Malachi 4 from the NKJV below.
Malachi 4 The Day of the Lord, the Torah and Elijah (February 2013)

That was 8 years ago and clearly not the time! However, now there are many signs indicating that the Return of the Lord is very near, even at the Door!! We probably all agree that the culmination is the Lord returning and destroying the Wicked One with the brightness of His Coming (2 Thessalonians 2 verse 8)!! The pathway through the Day of the Lord will include, in some order, Revival, Times of Refreshing, the Rapture, Regeneration, Restoration for Israel. Indeed, there is an Avalanche of prophecies in the Bible ready to be unleashed!!
At this time of crisis, with Covid, excessive heat, fires, floods and world changing events like the rapid fall of Afghanistan, we need to take hold of the prophetic as never before!! Regions of Australia such as Sydney and regional New South Wales are in the midst of a very severe Covid crisis. Israel is still facing Covid challenges. My hope is that you find encouragement from Malachi 4.
God's judgment on the wicked (NKJV)
4 “For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven,
And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“That will leave them neither root nor branch.Healing and release through the Sun of Righteousness
2 But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.Trampling the wicked
3 You shall trample the wicked,
For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet
On the day that I do this,”
Says the Lord of hosts.Remembering the Torah
4 “Remember the Law of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With the statutes and judgments.The coming of Elijah
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.Reconciling the children to their fathers
6 And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.Denis in Canberra Maranatha!!!!!
