ZEPHANIAH 2

GOD’S JUDGMENT OVER JUDAH’S ENEMIES 

Through Zephaniah, God pronounces His judgment over Judah’s enemies, including the Moabites, Assyrians, Philistines, and Ammonites. God’s authority extends beyond Judah, as He holds all nations accountable for their wrongdoing. Specifically, these nations have opposed Judah and influenced them to worship false gods.

God offers hope for those who seek righteousness and humility, saying that they may be spared from God’s wrath. Zephaniah speaks of a remnant, those who have remained faithful to God and not turned to idols, despite living amongst widespread unfaithfulness. This remnant serves as hope for the restoration of God’s people.

Zephaniah 2:3 - Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord.
