The theme of Zephaniah is the day of the Lord—a time of darkness, gloom, and pain as God’s response to people’s sin, whether that of unbelievers or that of his people. Nevertheless, the day of the Lord also has a positive side. It is a time of restoration after judgment, like the construction of new buildings in place of the condemned ones that were torn down. Zephaniah not only wrote about the day of the Lord in his time, but also about the day of the Lord yet to come in the seven-year tribulation at the end of history. Then, God will judge the world and prepare the nation of Israel for Christ’s second coming to establish his millennial kingdom. Today, we experience glimpses of the day of the Lord as he judges us for our sins, with the hope of restoration. Society at large will see it in the days to come as God judges the world for its rejection of Christ. The character of God demands that this day must come, so place yourself in a posture of repentance. ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?
