    Zephaniah—“the Day of the Lord”

    “I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the Lord. I will consume man and beast…. I will also stretch out Mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place.” Zephaniah 1:2-4.AGP 140.4

    With these startling words the prophet Zephaniah, who lived in the days of Josiah, added his testimony regarding the judgments that would come upon an impenitent people. Fourteen times in this brief prophecy occurs the expression, “day of the Lord.” It is therefore worthy of the careful study of those today for whom the antitypical “day of the Lord is near, … and hasteth greatly.” Verse 14.AGP 140.5

    “His prophecies of impending judgment upon Judah apply with equal force to the judgments that are to fall upon an impenitent world at the time of the second advent of Christ.” Prophets and Kings, 389.AGP 140.6

    But mingled with the portrayal of the terrors of God’s wrath are many expressions of His tenderness and love. We today may well heed the counsel given by Zephaniah to those of his own time:AGP 141.1

    “Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger.” Chapter 2:3.
