Judgment Is Coming, But Blessing Will Follow
The message of Zephanniah is a simple one: Judgment is coming, but blessings will follow for those who heed the warning to repent. It was a message that would later comfort the remnant taken away into Babylonian captivity. And the message perhaps had an initial fulfillment following their restoration under Zerubbabel, Ezra and Nehemiah. But I believe the ultimate fulfillment pertains to the age of the Messiah. Are we heeding that message?
