"Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of rememberance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.
"On that day when I act", says the LORD Almighty, "they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not." (Malachi 3: 16 - 18)
