sun of justice / righteousness

malachi 4:2 

"but you who fear my name, the SUN (shemesh) OF RIGHTEOUSNESS will shine out with HEALING in its rays (literally "wings" or kanaph in hebrew); you will leap (paw the ground) like calves going out to pasture."

commentary (hermeneutics.stackexchange.com):

there is suggested an allusion to the sun god present in many cultures at that time like the egyptian sun god (a royal symbol) depicted in art as having wings.

the sun is the SOURCE OF LIFE -- physical (and spiritual)[jon lansing in ibid.)
