Zephaniah
Zephaniah (639-608 B.C.) "tzephani yah" (Yaweh is my treasure)
Watched Judah revert back to their evil ways under Manasseh, and Amon. He
prophesied during the revival under good king Josiah's reign. Condemned the worship
of Canaanite and Assyrian gods and predicted disaster for the pagan nations
around such as Philistia, Moab, Ammon, Ethiopia, and Assyria. He also foretold
the destruction and restoration of Jerusalem.
Zeph 1:18
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day
of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His
jealousy, for He will make speedy riddance of all those who dwell in the land.
Zephaniah also prophesied of blessings in the future for both the gentiles and
the Jews:
Zeph 3:17
The LORD your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; he will rejoice
over you with gladness, he will quiet you with His love, he will rejoice over you
with singing."
