"Near and coming very quickly"
Zephaniah 1:1-2:3
Cliff Blair
The prophet Zephaniah gives a stark message of judgment and salvation encapsulated in the "Day of the Lord." He warns of impending divine judgment against Judah, Jerusalem, and the nations, highlighting both the global and localized consequences of sin and idolatry. The prophecy reflects a dual perspective, portraying both an immediate historical judgment through the Babylonian conquest and a future, ultimate judgment at the end of the world. This tension underscores the urgency of repentance, humility, and seeking righteousness in God. Prepare for the coming judgment by faith in Jesus Christ, the ultimate place of safety and security in the day of God’s wrath.
