Direct quotes from the Bible: Malachi 4:2 and 3:17.
These passages are about the final judgement and how "those who fear His name" will be spared from the fires of hell ("spare you as a man has compassion on his son" i.e. like a father). The "sun/son of righteousness will rise with healing in his wings" is about Christ who heals them and saves them, and how excited they'll be ("skipping like calves coming out of their stalls") to join him in heaven. God is preparing them to be His own ("my very own") people. He created them, saved them, and now He will dwell with them ("my special home").
Given that the Book of Malachi is from the Hebrew Bible, it cannot be about Christ, Jesus, hell, etc. The promises of the Lord, before the New Testament, are rooted very firmly in this world (eg., "'I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,' says the Lord Almighty. 'Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,' says the Lord Almighty.")
