The Day of the Lord: A Study in Zephaniahනියැදිය

What does it say?
Zephaniah warned the people of God’s imminent judgment because they rejected correction, refused to trust the Lord, and overlooked corrupt leadership.
What does it mean?
Jerusalem is often referred to as “the Holy City,” but the city Zephaniah knew was far from characterizing God’s holiness. It was impossible to reflect His righteous character without believing His Word or seeking His presence. Despite their shameless corruption and oppression of one another, the Lord was righteous and faithful. He would continue to reveal Himself to His people, but it would be through His just judgment of their disobedience rather than the loving, intimate relationship He desired.
How should I respond?
Before Christians judge the “holy city” too harshly, we should take an inventory of our lives. If we bear the name of Christ, our character should bear His resemblance. What change would help you reflect God’s holiness more today than yesterday? In what areas do you struggle with obedience? Are you diligently and consistently seeking to know more about Him? Look for how God reveals Himself in Scripture, and then watch for how He demonstrates those traits in and through you. Since God’s character never wavers, neither should ours.

Prophesying during the reign of King Josiah, Zephaniah’s ministry concerned the sinfulness of Judah and her neighbors. Zephaniah prophesied about a coming “day of the Lord,” when God will pour out His wrath on those who persist in their wickedness. Zephaniah reminds us that although the coming judgment of the Lord is severe, God stands ready to save those who trust in Him.
