The series on the minor prophets is continued by Pastor Marc Sharp. Today's message is from the book of Zephaniah. As other prophets have done, Zephaniah confirms that judgement is coming, for among the people no one truly inquires of God at all. They have exchanged truth for cultural acceptance. They say in their hearts, “The Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill.” They stupidly believe that God is powerless to either judge or bless. Then suddenly Zephaniah switches to promises of a hopeful future for all peoples, and he uses some of the most hopeful and joyous language found in the Minor Prophets to do this. He tells everyone who will listen that the Day of the Lord is a day where the wicked perish and the righteous are rescued and redeemed. This not only has immediate implications for Judah and the rest of the world, it also has implications for us who live at the end of the ages!
