Zephaniah 1:
God was going to sweep
everything away from the earth, including fish, birds, animals, and man, because
the wicked who rules the world will only have rubble to inherit. God was
going punish Jerusalem and Judah for their idol and starry worships as well as
those who no longer seek God. On God's day of destruction, traders,
merchants, kings and princes, those dressed in foreign clothes, and who fill
their god's temples with violence and deceit shall perish. Also, God
will deal with those who are complacent and believe that God will do nothing
(God does not exist - atheists). The day of God will be bitter and he will
make the sudden end of all who live on the earth (because the world is generally
a wicked place ruled by the godless).
Zephaniah 2:
Gather together shameful
nation and humble yourself before God for forgiveness. God was going to
destroy Canaan, land of the Philistines and where Israel is located today
(According to Genesis 10:13-14, Philistines are children of African Egypt (Mizraim)
but seem to have possessed the land of Canaan). God was going to eliminate
Moab (land of Ruth) and Ammon for the insults and threats against God's people.
Sudan/Ethiopia
(Cush) was also going to fall to the sword and the Assyrians will be destroyed.
The wicked and godless will always fail because God is consistently just. |

Zephaniah 3:
Woe to
Jerusalem a city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled! She obeys nobody,
accepts no correction, and does not trust God nor seek God. Her officials
are like lions and her rulers like evening wolves that leave nothing for
morning. Her prophets are arrogant and the priest do violence to the law.
God is righteous and his justice never fail daily. God will cut off the
godless nations and they will be put to shame for all the wrong they did to God.
Then all the godly from every nation will assemble in Jerusalem in glamour to
rejoice with God.
