“All That Do Wickedly, Shall Be Stubble”
In preparation for the millennial reign of the King of kings and the ultimate celestialization of this world, all wickedness will be removed from the earth (see D&C 29:9; D&C 64:24; D&C 133:14). It is also clear that the usage of the image of such phrases as the wicked burning as stubble was not unique to Malachi. Nephi quoted “the prophet” (probably Zenos) as using similar language (see 1 Nephi 22:14-19; see also commentary on 1 Nephi 22:15).
