The
Day of the Lord, the coming day of the Lord is a time of
sovereign judgment followed by great blessing, to those
that believe. Judah stands condemned , but God will
restore the fortunes of the remnant. Zephaniah traced
his heritage back four generations to Hezekiah. If this
is the godly King Hezekiah; Zephaniah is the only minor
prophet of royal descent. He was probably an inhabitant
of Judah's royal city because of his use of the phrase
"this place" in Zephaniah 1:4. A factor in the
reform that occurs during Josiah's reign that produced
an outward change but did not fully remove the inward
heart of corruption which characterizes the nations was
probably a result of Zephaniah's forceful prophecy. The
message of the day of the Lord, "judgment
day", is repeated over and over . God is holy and
must vindicate His righteousness by calling all the
nations of the world into account before Him. He will
judge not only His own people but also the whole world.
No one escapes from His authority and dominion. The day
of the Lord will have universal impact. To some degree
that day has already come for Judah and all the nations
mentioned in chapter 2:4-15, but there is also a future
aspect, when all the earth will be judged that hasn't
come yet! Are you ready? Click here, if you want more
